Help for fussy, colicky babies, and for the parents worn out from the crying.
When your baby cries for hours and nothing seems to help, it’s heartbreaking and exhausting. Colic and reflux have many causes, and a long delivery or tight neck muscles can make some babies even harder to settle. Our gentle pediatric care checks for tension in your baby’s neck and spine and eases it with light, careful pressure, alongside the care your pediatrician provides.

It may be time to bring your baby in if:
Colic usually means a healthy baby who cries for more than three hours a day, several days a week, for no clear reason. Reflux is when milk comes back up because the muscle at the top of the stomach is still maturing. Both are common in the first few months.
Gas, an immature digestive system and feeding challenges all play a part. For some babies, tension in the neck and upper back from their position in the womb or from delivery makes it harder to get comfortable, latch well and settle. That’s what our gentle care looks for.
We also help babies with constipation. See our pediatric chiropractic page for everything we do for kids. Chiropractic care doesn’t replace your pediatrician; we work alongside them.
Call your pediatrician right away if your baby has a fever, vomits forcefully or the vomit is green or bloody, has fewer wet diapers, isn’t gaining weight, or seems unusually sleepy or limp.

“I started bringing in my baby when he was 3 weeks old. He’s 15 months now and every adjustment he responds incredibly well to. When he was a newborn the adjustments helped with his colic and constipation.”

Yes, when it’s adapted for babies. We use very light pressure, often as light as a simple press in the right spot, and you hold and support your baby the whole time.
Newborns are welcome. Many parents bring their baby in within the first few weeks, especially after a long or difficult delivery.
Babies often respond quickly, but every baby is different. You’ll get a specific recommendation after the exam.
Some babies fuss at first simply because they’re somewhere new. Many relax, and some fall asleep.
