When everyday folks think about chiropractors (whether here in Beaverton or across the United States and/or the whole world), their minds probably don’t immediately envision these medical professionals helping babies. But, we do, and one of the most frequented conditions that worried new parents have to deal with, Colic, is something we here at Walker Road Chiropractic are able to help relieve.

When Would a Baby Need a Chiropractor in Beaverton?

When parents bring their brand new bundle of life home from the hospital, whether they are first-time parents or not they can still sometimes forget about certain things concerning newborns. For example, if their infant boy or girl begins to cry excessively, they may not think too much of it at first, and may just think to themselves, “Oh, nothing’s wrong…I just have to get used to these beginning stages again…”

But, it could be something that is much worse, a condition that can turn a long cry from the baby every now and then into wails of desperation and pain. 

Colic, as described by the American Pregnancy Association, is “inconsolable crying in an infant that lasts many hours a day, starting in the second week of life and lasting until about three months of age” (APA, 2023). This disease can frustrate some parents so much that they actually shake their child, which is absolutely one of the most dangerous things a person can do.
