Colic and Chiropractic
Infantile colic is a persistent crying that affects as many as 20% of babies. Infants appear distressed and act as if responding to pain. They probably are. But lacking language, they communicate in the only way they can: crying.
In a landmark project twenty years ago in Denmark, a group of 316 infants suffering with colic were selected as part of study. After thorough examinations, each baby received a series of chiropractic adjustments. Naturally, these adjustments were significantly different from the adjustments you receive.
The results? Mothers reported “no colic” or “colic improved” in 94% of the cases within the first several weeks.
Although the study, funded by the Vilhelm Krause Research Foundation, the Danish Pro-Chiropractic Association, and the European upper_practic] Union did not meet the protocols of randomized, controlled clinical trials, mothers reported a significant reduction in crying on the very first day of chiropractic care.
