What Is Colic?
Colic is a condition where an otherwise healthy baby cries excessively and inconsolably. Typically, these crying episodes last for three or more hours a day, at least three days a week. While many doctors say colic is “normal,” the cause is often misunderstood.
However, colic is not just about digestion. Therefore, addressing only the gut may not bring lasting relief. Many factors can contribute to colic, including nervous system stress and physical tension from the birth process.
Common Causes of Colic
- Birth trauma or stress during delivery
- Spinal misalignments in the neck or upper back
- Nervous system imbalance
- Digestive system dysfunction linked to nerve interference
- Difficulty latching or feeding due to tension
- Overactive stress response in newborns
How Colic Impacts Daily Life
- Parents experience extreme exhaustion and stress
- Sleep deprivation for the entire family
- Difficulty bonding with your baby
- Feelings of helplessness or frustration
- Strain on relationships and emotional health
- Frequent crying disrupts feeding and sleep schedules
Common Symptoms of Colic
- Prolonged crying that lasts three or more hours
- Crying episodes that occur at the same time each day, often in the evening
- Clenched fists during crying spells
- Pulling legs up toward the belly
- Red or flushed face while crying
- Arching of the back during episodes
- Difficulty calming down, even when held
- Tense or rigid body posture
- Gassiness or burping frequently
- Disturbed or irregular sleep patterns
- Fussiness during feeding
- Sensitivity to stimulation or noise
Why Colic May Persist
Many parents are told that colic will “go away on its own.” While symptoms may fade as the baby grows, the underlying issue may remain unaddressed. Because nerve interference often goes unnoticed, the real cause of your baby’s discomfort may never be corrected.
- Spinal misalignments from birth can compress delicate nerves
- The nervous system controls digestion, sleep, and stress responses
- Interference in the upper spine may disrupt signals to the gut
- Tension in the neck or jaw can impact feeding and comfort
- Birth trauma—even from “normal” deliveries—can create lasting imbalances
- The body compensates around dysfunction, leading to ongoing discomfort
- Without correction, stress patterns may continue into childhood
How Chiropractic Care Helps Colic
Chiropractic care for colic focuses on restoring balance to the nervous system. By gently correcting misalignments and reducing nerve interference, we help your baby’s body function the way it was designed to. Because chiropractic care addresses the root cause, many families see improvements in crying, sleep, and feeding.
Nervous System Connection
- The vagus nerve controls digestion and helps babies relax
- Misalignments in the upper neck can irritate this nerve
- When the nervous system is balanced, babies often digest better and cry less
- Chiropractic adjustments reduce nerve interference and promote calm
- A balanced nervous system improves sleep, feeding, and mood
- Restoring proper communication between the brain and body supports natural healing
The Zone Technique Approach
Dr. Korrin uses the Zone Technique, a gentle and precise method that evaluates six systems of the body. This approach is particularly effective for babies because it requires no forceful adjustments or twisting.
- Identifies imbalances in the nervous system that affect digestion and comfort
- Uses light, gentle pressure—no cracking or popping
- Balances the body’s six zones: glandular, eliminative, nervous, digestive, muscular, and circulatory
- Safe and effective for newborns and infants
- Supports the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate itself
- Many parents notice changes after just one or two visits
What We Address During Care
- Spinal misalignments in the neck and upper back
- Nerve interference affecting digestion and sleep
- Muscle tension from birth trauma
- Postural imbalances that impact feeding
- Movement compensation patterns that affect comfort
- Stress held in the body from delivery
Scientific Evidence Supporting Chiropractic & Colic
Research on Chiropractic & Colic
This randomized controlled trial found a small reduction in crying time in the chiropractic group, but the difference was not statistically significant after adjustment. The authors noted that some infants may respond differently, but stronger evidence is still needed.
Current research suggests chiropractic care may help some infants with colic, but the overall effect remains uncertain.
Chiropractic spinal manipulation for infant colic
This systematic review evaluated randomized clinical trials on chiropractic spinal manipulation for infant colic. The authors concluded that the total evidence did not convincingly demonstrate effectiveness.
Overall evidence for chiropractic care in infant colic is mixed, and more rigorous studies are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for newborns?
Yes. Chiropractic care for infants is extremely gentle and safe. Dr. Korrin uses very light pressure—no more than the weight of a fingertip. The Zone Technique is specifically designed to be safe for babies, and many infants relax or sleep during their adjustment.
How soon can I bring my baby in after birth?
You can bring your baby in as early as a few days after birth. In fact, the sooner we can evaluate and correct any misalignments, the better. Many parents bring their newborns in shortly after delivery to support a healthy start.
How many visits will my baby need?
Every baby is different. However, many families notice improvements after just one or two visits. Dr. Korrin will create a personalized care plan based on your baby’s specific needs and response to care.
What should I expect after my baby’s first adjustment?
Some babies feel immediate relief and sleep better that same night. Others may be a little fussy as their body adjusts. Therefore, we always educate parents on what to watch for and how to support your baby’s healing process at home.
Will chiropractic care cure my baby’s colic?
We do not use the word “cure.” However, chiropractic care helps remove nerve interference and supports your baby’s natural ability to heal and function properly. Many families see significant improvements in crying, sleep, and overall comfort when the nervous system is balanced.
