Colic, which was previously thought of as indigestion, can affect your newborn baby. If your baby is irritable, cannot sleep and has persistent inconsolable crying for 3 hours each day, three days each week for three straight weeks, they likely are colicky.
Less modern treatments included gripe water, small amounts of alcohol, and plainly just dealing with it, now in modern times seem archaic.
Many parents explain that after having their colicky infant adjusted that the results are almost immediate. This can be explained by looking back at the birth process itself. Even natural childbirth can be extremely traumatic to the nervous system of newborns, and is usually where the baby's first subluxation happens. If left undetected, there is immense pressure on your baby's nervous system, which can lead to changes in behavior, sleep patterns, or what we call, colic.
There have been many research studies determining the effectiveness of chiropractic and colic. Although not a treatment for colic, a study from Denmark found that 94% of babies that were adjusted with colic type symptoms found immediate relief within 2 weeks of commencing care (Klougart et al., 1989).
