Colic Support

Support for Calmer, More Comfortable Infants

Colic is a condition seen in young infants that involves frequent, prolonged periods of crying that can be difficult to soothe. Babies with colic may pull their arms and legs toward their body, appear tense, or seem uncomfortable despite being fed, changed, and cared for.


Colic typically begins within the first few weeks after birth and often resolves on its own by three to four months of age. While the exact cause is unknown, several factors are believed to contribute.

Understanding Colic

Colic may be influenced by a combination of factors, including:

  • An immature or sensitive nervous system
  • Digestive discomfort or gas
  • Food sensitivities
  • Physical stress from the birth process


The birthing process places significant stress on a newborn’s spine and nervous system. Even uncomplicated deliveries can result in tension or restriction that may affect how an infant’s body responds to stimulation.

How Chiropractic Care May Help

Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on gentle, age-appropriate techniques designed to support the nervous system and promote comfort. Care for infants is very different from adult chiropractic care and involves light, precise touch.


Supportive care may include:

  • Gentle spinal and joint assessment
  • Light adjustments to support nervous system function
  • Guidance for positioning and handling
  • Education for parents on comfort strategies


Care is always tailored to the infant’s size, age, and comfort.

Additional Comfort Strategies

Parents of infants with colic may also find relief by incorporating simple comfort measures, such as:

  • Holding or gently rocking the baby
  • Warm baths or gentle abdominal massage
  • Smaller, more frequent feedings
  • Reviewing feeding options or sensitivities with a pediatric provider


Every baby is different, and care approaches are always individualized.
