Colic Relief
Colic Relief Care
A gentle, drug-free option for the families who have tried everything else.
What is Colic Relief?
Colic relief care at Big Mountain Chiropractic uses light-touch pediatric techniques to address the upper-cervical, cranial, and nervous-system tension patterns that are often underneath colicky behavior in babies. Dr. Smith evaluates how birth, feeding mechanics, and positional tension may be contributing to your baby's fussiness, gas, and inconsolable crying — and uses extraordinarily gentle care to help the nervous system regulate. Many families notice meaningful changes within the first 2–4 visits.
