What Causes Colic?

Colic is a common condition in infants that causes excessive and unexplained crying. It can be a distressing experience for both babies and parents. At Osteopathic Center of Coronado, led by Michael Finley, CNHP, we understand the challenges associated with colic and provide comprehensive care to ease symptoms and promote your baby's well-being.

The Role of Osteopathy in Colic

Osteopathy is a holistic approach that focuses on the body's structure and its relationship with overall health. Our team at Osteopathic Center of Coronado utilizes osteopathic techniques to address the underlying causes of colic and provide effective relief without relying on medication.

Through gentle manual manipulation and adjustment techniques, our experienced practitioners identify and correct any structural imbalances that might be contributing to colic. By ensuring proper alignment and balance within the body, we aim to alleviate discomfort and promote optimal functioning, allowing your baby to find relief from colic symptoms.

Common Causes of Colic

Colic can have various causes, and understanding them can help in finding the most appropriate treatment for your baby:

• Digestive Issues: Some infants may have difficulties digesting certain foods or formula, leading to discomfort and excessive crying.
• Muscle Spasms: Muscle spasms may occur in the gastrointestinal tract, causing pain and distress for your baby.
• Immature Nervous System: The nervous system of newborns is still developing, and some babies may be more sensitive to stimuli, leading to colic symptoms.
• Food Allergies: Allergies to certain foods or ingredients can trigger colic symptoms in sensitive infants.
• Emotional Factors: Babies can sometimes experience colic due to emotional stress, changes in routine, or environmental factors.
