Infant Chiropractic for Colic
Gentle Relief for Fussiness, Gas, and Discomfort
At HealthPro Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we offer safe and gentle chiropractic care in Houston for newborns experiencing colic, excessive crying, or digestive discomfort. We understand how distressing it can be to watch your baby cry for hours without clear relief.
Gentle Chiropractic adjustments can help release tension, improve digestion, and support your baby’s nervous system. Our goal is to relieve tension in your baby’s body, allowing you both to be more comfortable and calm.
What is Colic?
Colic is typically defined as frequent, prolonged crying in an otherwise healthy baby. These crying episodes often occur in the late afternoon or evening and can last several hours. They are usually accompanied by signs of discomfort such as:
- Tense body posture
- Clenched fists
- Arched back
- Gas or bloating
- Difficulty settling or sleeping
While colic often resolves on its own over time, many parents seek relief sooner to help their baby and themselves rest and recover more easily. When you have a baby who is colicky, it can feel extremely frustrating and overwhelming. We are here to help find the root cause of your baby’s discomfort and to provide relief.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Birth can be physically demanding on your baby’s spine and nervous system. Even in smooth deliveries, the neck and back can experience pressure that may contribute to spinal tension or misalignment.
These small misalignments can disrupt communication between the brain and the gut, potentially leading to digestive issues, gas, and discomfort. This discomfort and tension may be the cause of colic symptoms.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help:
- Improve digestion and gas movement
- Relieve tension in the spine and abdomen
- Support a more relaxed and regulated nervous system
Our adjustments for newborns are incredibly gentle. We often use only the pressure you’d use to check the ripeness of a peach. Most babies are calm during the session, and many show signs of relief soon after care begins.
What to Expect at Your Baby’s Visit
We start with a full conversation about your baby’s birth, feeding, digestion, and behavior. We’ll gently assess spinal alignment and areas of tension, then explain any recommended care. If adjustments are needed, they are done using light pressure and movements while your baby rests on the table.
Each session is completely based around your baby’s needs. At HealthPro Chiropractic, you can expect a calm, soothing environment where both you and your baby feel comfortable.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on releasing tension within the craniosacral system. This system includes the cerebrospinal fluid, brain, spinal cord, and surrounding connective tissues. By applying light pressure to areas like the skull, neck, and sacrum, CST helps relieve tightness and improve fluid movement throughout your baby’s body.
