Do you have a colicky baby in Washington? Adults and older children might complain when they're in pain, but babies cannot express their discomfort in the same way—they cry. Many parents find themselves at a loss, unsure why their baby is crying despite trying everything. But, have you considered visiting a chiropractor in Washington?
Traditionally, infantile colic was thought to be linked to indigestion. However, it is now described as inexplicable and uncontrollable crying in babies from 0 to 3 months old, lasting more than three hours a day, three days a week, for three weeks or more, typically in the late afternoon or evening. For many parents, this definition might not be satisfying, especially when they expect actionable answers from healthcare professionals.
A revealing study published in the German medical journal "Manual Medicine" examined the spines of 1,258 newborns within five days of birth. Out of this group, 211 suffered from conditions like vomiting, hyperactivity, or sleeplessness. Notably, spinal abnormalities were found in 95% of these cases. This highlights the potential impact of birth processes, such as cesarean deliveries where the baby might be exposed to significant force or assisted with tools like clamps or vacuums, which could affect the baby’s spine and neck.
Chiropractors in Washington can play a crucial role in easing your baby’s discomfort. A gentle chiropractic adjustment may correct spinal subluxations, which could be interfering with your baby’s natural functions and causing their discomfort. This not only potentially improves common issues such as feeding and crying but also may reduce the risk of allergies, ADD/ADHD, colds, flu, ear infections, asthma, and developmental delays.
