My sister has a 3mth old little boy with colic and was reading that infant massage and chiropractic help with this. Does anyone know of someone who does this, or has anyone tried this before? She would appreciate any info on this matter.
thanks for your great advice my sister has an appointment with a chiropractor today.

I have experience with this, as well and I have taken both of my boys to a chiropractor since they were born. I also work for them and could get you in for a free consultation if you would like to talk with him. He is board certified in Pediatrics for Chiropractic. If you would like more information, send me an e-mail. (They are located in St. Louis Park)

Yes definitely. A chiropractor can help tremendously. Also, you could find her a book on infant massage and give her some baby oil to go with it. Chances are, someone at the hospital on the Physical Therapy unit could give her some infant-massage lessons. That's what they did for me when I had my first baby, before I left the hospital.
Dr. Chris Sorenson in St.Cloud MN at Allied Chiropractic. We have gone there for several years and taken several of our children with great results! Best wishes.
Crystal,
Health and Healing Family Chiropractic in Andover is very good. They are off of Hanson by the Andover Theatre.

They can do wonders.
Take care.

Dr. Anne Langford at Langford Chiropractic in Highland Park (St. Paul) treats infants and children. See www.langfordchiropractic.com.
I know that Dr. Dave Phillips in Bloomington has has success with babies who were colicky. It wouldn't hurt to check him out. I have his email: ____@____.com specialty is making sure the atlas (by the base of the neck) is on straight. Sometimes in the delivery room, this is the part that can be hurt when babies are delivered with foreceps, vacuum or just rough handling. This is the type of chiropractor Montel Williams saw and had lots of success. His video is on YouTube (but I haven't seen it). Good luck!
I am not sure what area you live in but I would suggest Maximized Living, the doctors names is Dr. Frahm he is located at 14335 W. Captial Dr., Brookfield, WI and the phone number is ###-###-####.
C. - I totally believe in chiropractic care for babies. My son had asthma as an infant, he was on a nebuelizer 2 times a day. After a couple of treatments at our chiropractor, he no longer had asthma. What I learned is that child birth is very difficult for babies and their spins become misaligned. So many of the childhood maladies can be eliminated with proper chiropractic care - bed wetting, colic, asthma, ear infections, etc.
I have 2 chiropractors I work with, one in Lakeville and one in Eagan. I would highly, highly recommend both of them. If you're interested in their contact information, let me know.
Good luck to your sister!

My 3 year old son sees a chiropractor in Cottage Grove that specializes in children. We have gone to him basically for ear infections and he has seemed to help. Not sure if the chiropractor would help with the colic but I do know he does adjust very young infants.
His name is Dr. Hahn and his practice is Oasis Chiropractic ....http://www.cottagegrovechiro.com/custom_content/39760_mee...
I think pretty much any chiropractor can asjust children but I wanted a chiropractor who had the additional training to work on kids. Not many chiropractors in the twin cities have this additional training. I found his name through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association--->http://www.icpa4kids.org/locator/index.php
If Cottage Grove isn't close to your sister than perhaps she can find another chiropractor at that website. Goodluck.
Hi if you dont live far from west allis wi a good chiropractor is Dr Brad Nelson he is located on 91st and Greenfield feel free to email me if you need anymore info
I have been a chiropractor for 20 years and have treated infant colic with great success. I have had parents see miraculous changes in just one adjustment. If you sister would like to email me to discuss it further here is my email.
____@____.com.
I'd be happy to try and help her in any way that I can.

Mother of three boys - 6,3 and 9 months.
My daughter had horrible colic and we switched her formula and saw improvements in a few hours. I love chiropractors and see one myself but you should also consider it a possible stomach problem or feeding issue.
Enfamil Nutramigen is a specialized formula for babies with colic, gas, constipation or reflux. My daughter was a completely different baby in seriously a few hours.
You might want to have them ask their clinic, pediatrician or health insurance provider about infant massage. When my son was colicky (a long time ago now) we took an infant massage class that I found out about through our health insurance provider. It didn't help my son, but it didn't hurt either and it made me feel like I was doing something. White noise and a baby sling can be helpful.
I absolutely whole-heartedly believe that a combination of chiropractic treatments and craniosacral therapy helped my baby in ways I couldn't have even imagined or hoped for. I absolutely would go down this route, tell your sister to definitely give it a try. I had amazing results. I would recommend that your sister check into craniosacral therapy as well, it seemed to help my little girl even more than the chiropractic treatments - my chiropractor was the one that referred me to the craniosacral therapist in my area.
Hi Crystal,
Not sure what part of the metro you are in, but Health and Healing Family Chriropractic in Andover is wonderful. They have tons of kids from newborns on up as patients. I take my kids there and the Dr's. are wonderful!
I completely agree with what Christin B said re: the combination of chiropractic and craniosacral therapy. We do both for our kids and feel both benefit the kids in different ways. Our youngest daughter's colic showed the most improvment after we added CS therapy. Good luck.
I worked many years in a chiropractic office and saw the amazement of mothers after their child was adjusted and started to sleep for long lengths of time for the first time in their lives and their crying spells lessened considerably. I worked for Dr Jo at Family Chiropractic in Brooklyn Park but there are others that work in on infants. Just ask friends or call clinics and ask their experience with infants. I can also give you names of people who give infant massage if you e-mail me separately.
I love, love my chiropractor & have trusted him with my daughter. If your sister lives in Des Moines, tell her to call Dr. Brett Rohlfsen at Rolfsen Chiro. Their number is ###-###-####. I was in a serious car accident years ago & only 2 chiros my entire life have known enough to help me. He is awesome with kids & his staff are great. They are in West Des Moines.
Call Chiro's in your area, see if they treat infants I DOES HELP!!! I have seen it work.
