Chiropractic and Colic in Orlando FL

"As a parent, I can't recommend the team at IWC enough. We started bringing our newborn to see them when we found out she had colic. Dr. Scherina and Dr. Kasey worked wonders on our little girl. We noticed improvements in her immediately after we started treatments. We're so glad and thankful we found IWC when we did. And it's not just the doctors that are amazing, but the entire staff make you feel like family and you won't want to leave."

Reviews like this brings us sooo much joy! Both of our docs at IWC are mommas and understand the stress and exhaustion that parents are dealing with when trying to comfort a colicky baby.

How can chiropractic and Network Spinal care help??

Chiropractic care and Network Spinal works directly with the nervous system, assisting the body to get in a parasympathetic state (rest and digest).

In order to have proper responses like restorative sleep and optimal digestion, the body has to be in a parasympathetic dominant state.

Everyday stressors (physical, mental, and chemical) can lead the body to be in a sympathetic (fight or flight) dominant state. The birthing process, because of the excess force that is frequently involved, is a common stressor that puts a baby's nervous system into fight or flight.

When a baby is having symptoms of colic, the nervous system is a sympathetic, fight or flight, state. Through using gentle and safe techniques, we are able to assist a baby's nervous system into a parasympathetic state. This allows the nervous system to be calmer and self-regulate more efficiently.
