Frequently asked questions about infant colic

From what age can I consult?

An infant can be seen from the first days of life. The techniques used are specially adapted for babies and perfectly safe.

Is the treatment safe for my baby?

Absolutely. Pediatric techniques are extremely gentle. The pressure used is comparable to what you would apply on a closed eyelid.

How many sessions are usually needed?

For colic, 2 to 4 sessions are usually sufficient. Improvement is often visible from the first or second session.

Do I need a prescription to consult?

No, chiropractors are primary care practitioners. You can consult directly without medical prescription.

Can chiropractic help with reflux too?

Yes, tensions that may contribute to reflux can be treated with gentle techniques. Many parents report improvement in reflux symptoms.

Will my baby cry during the session?

Babies react differently. Many stay calm or fall asleep during treatment. If your baby cries, it's often related to the new environment.

Can I breastfeed before the session?

Yes, you can breastfeed or bottle-feed normally. It's actually advisable for baby to be fed and comfortable for the session.

Is the care covered by insurance?

Chiropractic is not covered by French Social Security but many complementary health insurances cover pediatric consultations. Check with your insurance provider.
