Colic affects countless infants, leaving parents feeling helpless and searching for answers. At Real Health Chiropractic Clinic, we’ve helped families find gentle, natural relief that supports your baby’s comfort and restores peace to your home.

What Is Colic?

Colic appears as excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby, typically beginning in the first few weeks of life and lasting several months. Your baby may cry for three or more hours at a time, arch their back, clench their fists, struggle after feeding, or have difficulty settling down to sleep.

While colic isn’t medically dangerous, it’s physically and emotionally exhausting for parents. More importantly, it’s often your baby’s way of signaling that their nervous or digestive system needs support.

Why Does Colic Happen?

Research points to several contributing factors. Birth stress or tension in the spine and cranial bones can create discomfort, even after straightforward deliveries. Digestive challenges like gas, reflux, or difficulty passing stool often show up as persistent crying. Feeding difficulties including poor latch, tongue or lip ties, or reflux can leave babies uncomfortable after every meal. Nervous system imbalance makes it harder for babies to self-soothe and find comfort.

Our Gentle Approach

Using extremely gentle chiropractic adjustments, Eden Prairie Chiropractor Dr. ShaRhae Matousek helps to ease tension, restore mobility, and help balance your baby’s nervous system. These pediatric-specific adjustments involve light fingertip pressure, nothing like adult adjustments.

When your baby’s spine and cranial structures are calm and aligned, their body can digest food more easily, sleep more soundly, and self-soothe naturally. Many parents notice changes during the first visit, with continued improvement over the following weeks.
