Colic and Reflux Relief (Infants) in Brookfield
Natural Care for Babies with Colic or Reflux
Babies cry to tell us something’s wrong. But if your little one cries for hours, arches their back, or seems uncomfortable no matter what you do, you’re not alone. Colic and reflux are two common challenges many families face, often leaving parents feeling overwhelmed and helpless. While there’s no single cause, spinal misalignments may play a role by disrupting the nerves responsible for digestion and comfort.
What’s the Connection Between Digestion and the Spine?
Your baby’s nervous system controls how their tiny stomach and intestines move and function. If birth or early development leads to slight spinal misalignments—especially in the neck or mid-back—those nerve pathways can become irritated. The result? Trouble digesting, more spit-ups, increased gas, or inconsolable crying. These misalignments don’t cause colic or reflux outright, but they can make symptoms more intense.
Gentle Adjustments for a Calmer Tummy
We provide chiropractic care using a feather-light touch, tailored specifically to your baby’s needs. Think of the pressure used to check the softness of a ripe tomato; that’s the level of care we apply. These precise, gentle adjustments help support proper nerve function, reduce tension, and may allow your baby to digest more smoothly. Over time, parents often notice improvements in sleep, mood, and feeding.
Signs Your Baby Might Benefit from a Visit
Every baby is different, but here are a few red flags to watch for:
- Constant or inconsolable crying
- Trouble nursing or taking a bottle
- Arching their back when upset
- Frequent reflux or spit-up
- Sleeping in short bursts

If you recognize any of these signs, chiropractic may help calm their system.
