Health MattersYou may be saying, "Why is he discussing spinal problems with babies, surely babies do not have these types of health issues at such a young age?"
What is Colic: There have been a number of theories proposed as to the reasons for colic. However, most medical and chiropractic authors believe that infantile colic is a reaction to pain which is probably related to the intestinal region. While the exact mechanisms of this pain remain somewhat unclear, some research has suggested a nerve related element. This is backed up by clinical observations that have demonstrated a striking success rate for the resolution of colic after chiropractic adjustment. Managing a baby with Colic: This involves identifying and correcting the spinal level that is often causing the problem. This is usually found in the upper spine under the skull but problems can also exist in the mid-back and around the pelvic areas. I have found that after just a handful of treatments, the problem is significantly eased. This is in keeping with research studies that also show resolution of colicky symptoms after an average of three treatments. As well as manipulation, other factors need to be considered with a colicky baby such as protein intolerance and allergy, carbohydrate intolerance and gastroesophageal reflux (vomiting). Summary: This is a topic very close to many parents' heart and one that I could write pages about! So, if you would like more information please feel free to telephone,
e-mail or write to me in confidence at the Practice: |
The
fact is that the birthing process is traumatic for both the mother and the baby and spinal
tension can occur in both. This tension in the young can present in various ways: - a baby
only feeding on one side as they are unable to turn their head the other way or unable to
rest when lying on their back or even sitting. However, almost all parents will know about
one particular ailment and that is a child suffering from Infantile Colic which is
described as a baby having a persistent, often violent spell of crying which exists in an
otherwise health baby. I have also often heard it called 'irritable parent syndrome' due
to the lack of sleep that both parents suffer from at this time! North Norfolk Cats Lifeline Trust.Well- Known Norfolk Mediums Rachel Finbow and Brian May. In assocciation with special

BURNS NIGHT SUCCESS FOR ROTARY CLUBOver fifty people attended a Burns Night Supper held by the Rotary Club of Aylsham at The Greens Freehouse, Norwich Road, Aylsham on Thursday the 31st January 2008. Members of the club brought their wives and guests to a first class meal of Arbroathe Smokey (a smoked haddock), haggis with neaps and tatties and a selection of desserts followed by a 'wee dram'.
President Philip Green and his wife Mary sat at the top table with guests as a piper
from the Norwich pipe band escorted the haggis into the room carried by John Fuller of
Cawston who is the Head Chef at The Greens. The food was delicious and was much
appreciated by all, the haggis was duly addressed and served and after the meal was over
there was pipe music and a Scottish guest and his wife got up to assist with a highland
fling. |
