Lexington Ky Chiropractor and Colic

Colic and Chiropractic Treatment

During the birthing process, the neck and back vertebrae can go out of alignment due to the stretching and compressing of the body as it emerges into the world. When delivering your baby prolonged pushing,  forceps, vacuum extraction, or other form of assisted delivery, heighten the chances of a misalignment for your baby.

If the misalignments are big enough, the functioning of major systems in the body can be compromised. The digestive system can be affected and ineffective digestion of breast milk and formula can cause severe discomfort for your baby, leading to colic episodes.

At times parents are wary of taking their small, helpless babies to see a chiropractor. The main reason being the "Snap, Crackle and Pop" stereotype that chiropractic invokes. Adjustments for a newborn are much different than those of an adult

In actuality, the adjustment that a chiropractor will do for your baby is basically applying gently pressure with the finger to areas on the neck and back. You may see your baby totally relax before your eyes as the misalignments are corrected.

Dr. Nemastil is very familiar with adjusting infants and small children as well as teens and adults. Dr. Nemastil is also trained in the Webster Technique for assistance with the birthing process.
