Chiropractic Care Conquers Colic

The above title appeared in the December 1998 issue of Country Living's

Healthy Living, beginning on page 53. The article details the concerns

of a mom whose new baby was suffering from colic. The article featured

the motheržs account of the situation starting from her initial phone

call to the pediatrician. "When I phoned my doctor to ask if he thought

it was safe (to

see a chiropractor), he was ambivalent: Chiropractic would neither harm

nor help. He told me that if it was colic, it would run its course in

three months."



After this advice, her next stop was to take the child to the

chiropractor.  She recalled that the first visit was an extended one

with a lot of time  spent caring for the child and the parents.

Following the first adjustment, the child seemed to be more reactive and

colicky, but she followed the instructions given her by the chiropractor

and the baby calmed right down.  "We had five more sessions with the

chiropractor. Each lasted a few minutes and Lucy (the infant!) really

seemed to enjoy them. It completely changed what was fast becoming a

nightmare. I'd like to recommend to everyone with a colicky infant see a

chiropractor. It certainly worked for us."  On a personal note, we have

adjusted thousands of children over the years, many with problems such

as colic, some with no problems at all, they just wanted to make sure to

keep  their kids as tuned up and healthy as possible.
