Chiropractic treatment of children is very gentle. Adjustments and mobilizations are delivered to the spine and joints to restore normal alignment and movement of the joints and normal nerve function. Holding techniques stretches and baby massage is often used to reduce soft tissue tension. Your chiropractor will also advise you on home treatment procedures (e.g. holding and feeding techniques, positive reinforcement therapies, baby massage and exercises sessions, etc.) to assist with your child’s recovery. A thorough clinical history and physical examination (height and weight, temperature, heart and respiratory rate, head circumference, reflexes, muscle tone, joint range of motion, milestone and growth charts, etc.) is performed to ensure the cause of your child’s symptoms is neuromusculoskeletal in origin. Your chiropractor will refer you to an appropriate medical practitioner if there is no improvement in symptoms or if other causes of colic are suspected (e.g. lactose intolerance, reflux, etc.) or if further medical treatment or testing is needed.
