Colic and Reflux Treatment in Infants in Council Bluffs
Gentle, Non-Invasive Care for Your Baby’s Comfort
Chiropractor Dr. Denise Woods understands how distressing colic and reflux can be for both babies and parents. These common conditions may cause excessive crying, feeding challenges, and sleep disruption. While they often improve with time, gentle, natural care can make an enormous difference in your baby’s comfort and your peace of mind.
The Cause of Your Child’s Discomfort
Colic is generally described as prolonged crying or fussiness in an otherwise healthy infant, often occurring at the same time each day. Reflux involves the regurgitation of milk or stomach contents and may be accompanied by discomfort. These issues may have links to immature digestive system function, birth-related tension in the spine, neck, or jaw, feeding and latching difficulties, food sensitivities or intolerances, or muscular tension affecting swallowing or digestion.
A thorough assessment allows us to consider all possible contributing factors to your baby’s symptoms.

Our care for infants is exceptionally gentle, often involving nothing more than light fingertip pressure and soothing touch. Techniques may include:
- Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments: Supporting healthy spinal and nervous system function to aid feeding and digestion.
