Chiropractic Care for Colic and Reflux Relief in Bozeman MT
Gentle, Natural Support for Your Baby’s Comfort and Digestive Health
At Wellness Montana, we understand how distressing it can be when your baby is suffering from colic or reflux. Constant crying, sleepless nights, and visible discomfort are not only heartbreaking to witness—they can also leave parents feeling helpless. The good news is, gentle pediatric chiropractic care offers a safe, natural option that may help alleviate the root causes of colic and reflux.
Understanding Colic and Reflux
Colic is often defined as prolonged, unexplained crying in an otherwise healthy infant—typically lasting more than three hours a day, at least three days a week. Reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux (GER), occurs when stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, causing discomfort, spitting up, and feeding issues.
While both conditions are common in newborns, they can significantly affect a baby’s quality of life and a parent’s peace of mind. Chiropractic care addresses the underlying physical imbalances that may contribute to these symptoms.
How Chiropractic Can Help
During the birth process, an infant’s delicate spine and nervous system can experience stress and misalignments—especially in the upper cervical (neck) area. These subtle spinal issues can interfere with normal nerve function and digestion.
Our pediatric chiropractor uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to help restore proper alignment and improve nervous system communication. This may help:
- Reduce pressure on the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in digestive function
- Improve spinal mobility and alignment to support healthy digestion
- Decrease gas buildup and tension that may contribute to colic-like symptoms
- Enhance comfort during and after feedings
What to Expect During a Pediatric Visit
Our approach to infant chiropractic care is extremely gentle—often using the same amount of pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. There’s no cracking or popping, just soft and targeted adjustments that are carefully tailored to your baby’s age, size, and condition.
Appointments typically include a full review of your baby’s health history, an examination of nerve system function, and a care plan that may include at-home tips to support your baby’s digestive health.
