Baby Colic

“Over 20 million babies and children visit a chiropractor each year (1988).”
-New England Journal of Medicine, 1998

“Subluxations(spinal misalignments) should be analyzed and corrected as soon after birth as possible to prevent these associated conditions.”
-Colic, Sleep Disorders, Lowered Immunity, Poor Development.
-Most common cause of infant subluxations(misalignments) occur during the pushing phase of labor and the infants neck is twisted, pulled, compressed.
-ICA, 1991

“In a study looking at babies receiving chiropractic care for colic, 94% of parents saw improvement in their baby’s behavior within two weeks of initiation of care. A little over half of these babies had
already been unsuccessfully treated, usually by pharmacological means.”
-Klougart et al., JMPT 1989

“Another study found 91 percent of babies experienced a reduction in colicky behavior following as little as two chiropractic adjustments (Nilsson, 1985).”
-JMPT, 1998

“Reports show that chiropractic care can be helpful in such diverse disorders as cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, ear infections, the prevention of SIDS, and others.”
-Manuelle Medicine, 1987

Dr. Schotzko says:
First thing I almost always hear when I talk about children and chiropractic is,”Why would I take my child to a chiropractor, they don't have back pain?” Hopefully you know understand that chiropractic isn't for just back pain, it gets great results with back pain but that isn't the only thing. We all live our lives through our Nervous system. It tells out heart to beat, lungs to breathe, food to digest, immune system how to protect us from invaders and every other thing in your body. Interference to that system can create health problems. Children have a nervous system that is similar to adults and even more important is the fact that children have a time frame before they become adults when their body is growing and developing and a health spine and nervous system gives that child a better health potential. When was your child's last checkup with the chiropractor?
