If your baby cries about the same time each day and nothing you do seems to offer comfort, your baby may have colic. Colic is often defined as crying more than three hours a day, three days a week for more than three weeks in an otherwise well-fed, healthy baby. What is most important for the diagnosis is sustained crying in an otherwise healthy baby for a regular period of the day lasting for several weeks.
Can a child with infantile colic find relief through chiropractic?
A study was published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT) that studied 316 infants suffering from infantile colic that had received chiropractic care for their condition. The study involded 73 chiropractors in 50 different clinics. The average age of the infant under care was 5.7 weeks. The results of the study revealed that 94% of the infants received satisfactory results. The results occurred within 2 wk and after an average of three treatments.
Children are always better off with a bone in place than out.
