Colic

Chiropractic can bring a great deal of relief to children suffering from colic. Chiropractic adjustments to remove interference from the nervous system on the digestive system but also nutritional advice help a lot.

Here is a study from 1989:

Infantile colic treated by chiropractors: a prospective study of 316 cases. Klougart N, Nilsson N. J.J.Manipulative Physiol. Ther. 1989 Aug;12(4):281-8.

A prospective uncontrolled study of 316 children with infantile colic selected according to well-established criteria showed a favourable outcome to manipulative treatment in 94% of cases. The mean age at the start of treatment was 5.7 weeks. The results were analysed on the basis of a diary written by the mothers, as well as on the basis of a post-consultation control file.

This study was carried out in multiple centres over 3 months, involving 73 chiropractors and 50 clinics. These results occurred within 2 weeks and from the 3rd week onwards.
