(Medical-NewsWire.com, May 26, 2013 ) Manassas, VA -- Colic is defined as inconsolable crying in an infant for at least three hours a day, at least three days a week, for at least three weeks. A colicky baby typically presents with a loud piercing cry, flexed legs, tensed abdominal muscles, and clenched fingers. It typically starts around three weeks of age and lasts until around three months but sometimes lasts for as long as six months.
For parents who feel that there is nothing that can be done but patience and a lot of love, they may have found new hope.
Jean, a 31-year-old new mother suffered for months with a colicky baby, Emma. She tried every old remedy, from tummy time to daily doses of probiotics, but nothing helped - until she visited a chiropractor.
Research on chiropractic care and colic has shown significant benefits over other treatments such as dietary changes, medication, and infant positioning. A randomized clinical trial published in 1999 in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that "Spinal manipulation is effective in relieving infantile colic.”
Emma’s chiropractor, Dr. Lora Tanis, said that during the very first visit she adjusted her spine and she relaxed to the point her crying stopped immediately.
In a more recent study using thousands of participants taking a diary of when their babies cried and for how long, performed by the Center of Biomechanics at Odense University in Denmark, spinal manipulation, such as an alignment, can effectively reduce the number of hours children diagnosed with colic cry.
