If you have a colicky baby, and other forms of treatment don’t seem to be helping very much and you’re at your wits end, you may want to investigate bringing your baby in for a checkup.
As your child is being born, the neck and back vertebrae can go out of alignment due to the stretching and compressing of the body as it emerges into the world. If your delivery included a prolonged pushing stage, forceps or vacuum extraction, or other form of ‘assisted delivery’, the chances of a misalignment are even greater.
If the misalignments, vertebral subluxations, in the spine and neck are big enough, the functioning of major systems in the baby’s body can be compromised. The digestive system can be affected and ineffective digestion of breast milk can cause major discomfort in your baby, leading to ‘colic’ episodes.
