Chiropractor for Colic Treatment in Carrollton, TX

Colic refers to severe, often fluctuating pain in the abdomen that is caused by the intestine or other parts of the digestive tract undergoing spasms. The term is often used in different contexts, depending on the age group or the specific cause of the pain.

​​

Infantile Colic (often just called "colic")

  • Definition: This is a common condition in infants, typically occurring in babies younger than 3 months old. It is characterized by excessive crying and fussiness, especially in the late afternoon or evening, lasting for at least three hours a day, three days a week, for three weeks or more.

  • Symptoms:

    • Intense crying episodes, often with clenched fists, drawn-up legs, and a red face.

    • Occasional signs of discomfort or gas (though not always).

    • Babies usually appear to be healthy otherwise, with normal growth and feeding.

  • Causes: The exact cause of infantile colic is not well understood, but it is thought to be related to factors like:

    • Digestive system immaturity.

    • Gas or indigestion.

    • Sensitivity to stimuli or overstimulation.

    • Infant temperament or emotional factors.

    • Parental anxiety or stress (in some cases).

How can a Chiropractor Help with Colic?

Studies show that chiropractic treatment helps improve colic symptoms in infants. Growing babies can be struggling with pain or symptoms related to the spine from the labor process or organ related issues such as GI distress. Light spinal manipulation and soft tissue related therapies and protocols can help to reduce these types of symptoms and drastically improve colic.
