By Lisa Z. Killinger, D.C. and Ayla Azad, D.C.
Objective: This study outlines the chiropractic
care of an eleven-month-old male with severe, complicated,
late onset infantile colic. The infant had been unable to
consume solid foods for a period of four months, and suffered
from severe constipation. In addition, this subject demonstrated
extreme muscular weakness and lack of coordination. The baby
was unable to crawl, stand, or walk, and was greatly unresponsive
to his surroundings.
Subject: An eleven-month-old baby boy
Setting: A chiropractic college teaching
and research clinic; Circa 1949
Methods: Upper Cervical Specific chiropractic
adjustments for a subluxation of the first cervical vertebra.
Results: Immediate improvements in muscle
strength, coordination, responsiveness, and ability to consume
solid foods without vomiting. (JCCP, Volume 3, Number 1,
