Colic Care At Lakeside Spine and Wellness

Colic is often described as frequent, prolonged periods of crying or fussiness in an otherwise healthy infant. Many families notice patterns such as difficulty settling, digestive discomfort, gassiness, feeding challenges, or sleep disruption.

At Lakeside Spine and Wellness, infant focused care is designed to support nervous system regulation and movement comfort in a gentle, age appropriate way. The goal is to support steadier comfort and routines for feeding and sleep while reducing stress patterns that can overwhelm both baby and parents.

What Colic Commonly Involves

Early life is a period of rapid neurological development. Infants are learning how to regulate feeding, digestion, sleep, and sensory input. When regulation patterns are stressed, babies may have difficulty settling and may show signs of discomfort during or after feeds.

Infants can also experience mechanical stress patterns from early life positioning and normal developmental demands. Supporting joint motion, posture comfort, and nervous system regulation can help the body adapt more efficiently during this stage.

    Colic Relief - Frequently Asked Questions

    What is colic, and how do I know if my baby has it?
    Colic usually means a healthy baby who cries for hours, often in the evening, without an obvious cause. It commonly starts in the first weeks of life. Because crying can also signal illness, please have your pediatrician check your baby first to rule out medical causes.
    Is it safe to bring a newborn to a chiropractor?
    Care for infants is very gentle, using light fingertip pressure rather than the adjustments used with adults. Published safety data in babies is limited, so parents should make an informed choice and talk with their pediatrician. I only examine and treat when it is appropriate, and I will explain what I am doing.
    Can chiropractic cure colic?
    I would not say that. Research on chiropractic care for colic is mixed and of limited quality, and colic often improves on its own as babies grow. Some parents choose gentle care hoping it eases fussiness. I focus on a careful exam and honest expectations rather than promises.
    What should I do when my baby is crying and I cannot soothe them?
    Try holding, swaddling, gentle rocking, or a calm dark room, and take breaks when you need them. Never shake a baby. Call your pediatrician right away for fever, vomiting, poor feeding, or if the crying seems different from normal. You know your baby best.
    What happens at a baby's first visit?
    I start by listening to your concerns and reviewing the pregnancy, birth, and feeding history. Then I observe movement and posture and gently check for areas of tension. The visit is short, parents stay right with the baby, and we talk about what I found and whether any care makes sense.
