Care for Torticollis & Colic in Longmont
Soothing Little Ones
Torticollis is a condition where your baby’s neck muscles are tight, causing their head to tilt to one side. This can make it difficult for your little one to turn their head freely. It may occur due to various factors, including birth trauma, muscle tension, or even positioning in the womb.
Colic is characterized by excessive crying and fussiness in infants, often due to discomfort or digestive issues. While the exact cause isn’t always clear, it may be linked to gas, indigestion, or an overstimulated nervous system.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help
- Gentle Spinal Alignments: We focus on correcting any misalignments in your baby’s upper cervical spine (neck). These gentle adjustments can improve range of motion and reduce muscle tightness.
- Muscle Tension Release: Our care includes soft tissue techniques to relax tight neck muscles, helping your baby move their head more freely.
- Enhancing Nerve Function: By improving the function of nerves that control neck and shoulder muscles, we help restore better communication between your baby’s brain and muscles.
- Promoting Symmetry: Our care helps prevent your baby from favoring one side, reducing the risk of related issues like flat head syndrome (plagiocephaly).
- Balancing the Nervous System: We address any spinal misalignments that might be affecting the nerves regulating digestion, potentially reducing colic symptoms.
- Improving Digestive Function: Gentle adjustments to the lower spine and pelvis can help improve gut motility, reducing gas buildup and relieving discomfort.
- Calming Effect: Our care has a soothing influence on the nervous system, which can help calm colicky babies and reduce irritability.
