Colic Treatment in Cobourg
Colic is a distressing condition characterized by excessive crying in infants, often lasting for more than three hours a day, on more than three days a week, and persisting for at least three weeks. It affects approximately 25% of babies and can significantly disrupt both their and their parents’ lives, particularly due to its tendency to occur during nighttime hours.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in Managing Colic
Chiropractic care at Herron Family Chiropractic presents a natural and effective approach to alleviating colic symptoms in babies. The birth process itself can sometimes lead to spinal misalignments in infants, which may not immediately manifest but can contribute to discomfort and irritability over time. Dr. Amy emphasizes the importance of early chiropractic evaluation to monitor spinal health and ensure optimal development from infancy onward.
Our Approach
After Dr. Amy gently examines your baby, she provides chiropractic care that focuses on correcting spinal misalignments, or subluxations, which can impact the nervous system and lead to digestive disturbances. For colicky babies, these disruptions often manifest as clenched fists, tense abdominal muscles, and arched backs, accompanied by erratic sleep patterns that further strain both infants and parents alike.
Dr. Amy’s pediatric chiropractic techniques are gentle, tailored specifically to the delicate structure of infants.
