Chiropractic Care for Infant Colic in Ajax, Ontario – Gentle Relief for Babies

Parenting a newborn has many challenges. There is no owner’s manual, and it seems that every baby is different. Some infants are calm and at ease right from the start. Others seem to be upset, tense and irritated, no matter what you do for them. They are fussy and cry for hours, and seem to fit the description of “colicky”.

Colic is typically defined by excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby, often starting around 2–3 weeks of age and lasting until 3–4 months. Episodes usually occur in the late afternoon or evening and can include signs like clenched fists, arched back, gas, and an inability to be soothed. There are many factors contributing to the baby’s distress, including digestive discomfort, gas, or stress on their nervous system from the physical, chemical and emotional stresses of birth.

If you’re a parent in Ajax, Pickering, or Whitby, facing the challenges of infantile colic (a common yet distressing condition that affects many newborns), getting the baby’s spine and nervous system evaluated may provide greater understanding and potentially offer significant relief.

How Chiropractic Care May Help Colicky Babies in Ajax and Durham Region

Pediatric chiropractic care offers a natural, gentle approach to restoring normal function to the spine and nervous system. Nervous system distress may be at the root of the symptoms of colic. Chiropractors trained in infant care use extremely light, specific adjustments to relieve spinal tension—especially in the neck and lower back—where nerve interference may be affecting digestion and comfort.

By improving spinal alignment and supporting nervous system function, chiropractic care may help your baby feel more relaxed, improve digestion, and reduce episodes of prolonged crying. Many parents in Ajax and surrounding communities report positive changes in their baby’s sleep, feeding, and temperament after chiropractic care.
