NV infantile colic can be described as a condition in thriving infants and results in crying bouts; the baby usually cries for three hours a day, at least three days a week, and occurs over a three-week period. There are many theories as to the cause of infantile colic. They range from food allergy/intolerance to abnormal peristalsis or excessive gas.
Infantile colic starts occurring when an infant is one or two weeks old and is at its height at about six weeks. Infantile colic usually stops when the baby is about 2-3 months old. Between 20-30% of all newborns are colicky babies. Infantile colic in Henderson often begins at the end of a long day, and symptoms show at around the age where the parents have been sleep deprived from caring for the baby. Often, the parents of colic babies become very depressed and highly frustrated.
Your chiropractor, Dr Israel Villasenor DC, will perform a thorough history and examination on your infant to determine the extent and severity of the infantile colic. Afterwards, the chiropractic will create a custom treatment regimen for your baby.
