Natural Colic Relief for Infants | Austin Life Chiropractic
Colic is one of the most challenging experiences for new parents. Characterized by excessive crying, fussiness, and signs of abdominal discomfort in otherwise healthy babies, colic affects up to 20% of infants. While it often resolves after a few months, the emotional and physical toll it takes on families can feel overwhelming.
At Austin Life Chiropractic, we offer a gentle, natural approach to help soothe colicky babies and bring relief to exhausted parents. Pediatric chiropractic care can address one of the potential underlying causes of colic: subtle misalignments in the spine and nervous system.
During the birth process — even uncomplicated deliveries — significant pressure is placed on a newborn’s head, neck, and spine. This can create small misalignments (known as subluxations) that interfere with proper nerve communication. Since the nervous system controls digestion, a disruption may contribute to gas, bloating, and irritability.
Through safe, gentle chiropractic adjustments specifically designed for infants, we help restore balance to your baby’s nervous system. These adjustments use only the lightest touch — about the same pressure used to check the ripeness of a tomato — and most babies find them calming.
Research supports chiropractic care as an effective tool for reducing colic symptoms. Studies have shown that babies under chiropractic care often cry less and sleep better, providing much-needed relief for both baby and parents.
