Every parent wants their baby to be calm, comfortable, and happy, cooing instead of crying. But when colic sets in, the nonstop fussiness can quickly turn daily life upside down, leaving the entire family exhausted. Often showing up in the late afternoon or evening, colic brings long stretches of inconsolable crying.
While the exact cause remains a mystery, factors like digestive discomfort, overstimulation, or even birth-related tension may play a role.
How Gentle Adjustments Make a Difference
The birth process, even when smooth, can stress a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system. Using techniques designed just for infants, Dr. Ken Freedman applies no more pressure than you’d use to check if a peach is ripe. These subtle adjustments support healthy spinal alignment and may ease nervous system and digestive tension, helping little ones feel calmer, rest better, and seem more at ease.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Babies?
Parents often ask, “Is chiropractic care safe for babies?” The answer: yes—when provided by an experienced practitioner. Dr. Freedman has cared for East Brunswick families since 1979, including countless newborns and infants. His pediatric methods are completely different from adult adjustments, relying only on gentle fingertip pressure.
Research also shows that chiropractic care may improve sleep, reduce crying episodes, and enhance comfort in colicky babies—all without medications or invasive procedures.
