Many newborns suffer from colic at some point in the first three months of life. Colic is defined as “unexplainable and uncontrollable crying in babies birth to three months old for more than three hours a day, more than three days a week or for three weeks or longer.” This excessive crying often puts just as much if not more strain on the parents of the child than on the child themselves. Chiropractors have been effectively treating infantile colic for many years and the number of infants being treated is continuously rising. Dr Dave Solecki of Solecki Chiropractic and Acupuncture has been adjusting infants who suffer from colic with great success since he first begun practicing eight years ago.
“Chiropractic is an amazing weapon when fighting colic. Studies have shown that spinal manipulation is effective in reducing the number of hours spent crying in a day and also showed little to no change in those infants who were medicated for the condition. Helping a child feel better when they can’t properly communicate what is wrong is a great feeling. Not only is the child happier, but it makes a huge difference for the parents as well.” stated Dr. Solecki when asked his opinion on treating infantile colic.
Dr. Solecki has many testimonials on how chiropractic has effectively treated many newborns in his office. He encourages any new parents to bring their little ones into the office for a consultation, giving them the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about treating colic with chiropractic.
