What can I do about colic? It’s so hard for me to hear my baby cry and there seems to be nothing I can do about it!
For any of you that have ridden the emotional rollercoaster of a colicky baby, it isn’t something you soon forget. The inability of a parent or caregiver to console the child leaves them questioning their parenting skills. A recent study that evaluated the effects of spinal manipulation versus a common prescription medication (dimethicone) reported:
“Spinal manipulation is effective in relieving infantile colic, and that by the end of the two week trial period, the manipulation group did significantly better than the drug group. In fact, crying was reduced 2.7 hours per day in the chiropractic group. In contrast, crying had dropped only 1 hour per day with the use of dimethicone. In the course of the 12 days of the study, the children being adjusted saw a 67% reduction in crying versus 38% in the drug group.”
Another investigation showed that 91% of parents in the study reported that improvement in colic occurred within one week of treatment.
I have also noticed some supplements that help increase the effectiveness of the adjustment. Check with me for proper supplementation.

How can I get rid of the back pain I get during pregnancy? I don’t want to use medicines if I don’t have to.
Lower back pain and pregnancy are almost synonymous. In fact, several studies revealed that over 70% of pregnant women will experience lower back pain. A study reported in the prestigious medical journal Obstetrics and Gynecology revealed the leading cause of lower back pain was due to a mechanical dysfunction (or subluxation in chiropractic terms) in the sacroiliac joint. The journal Family Practice Resources reported a study completed by the Rochester School of Medicine where they reported that manipulation (adjustment) for sacroiliac subluxation was 91% effective in relieving back pain during pregnancy!
In addition to helping with back pain, it has been suggested that chiropractic care during pregnancy may reduce the time of labor and delivery between 24% (for the first child) and 39% (for the second child).
A recent study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiologic Therapeutics reported that the Webster Technique may be effective in relieving the musculoskeletal causes of breech presentations that are unlikely to spontaneously change to normal in the 8th month of pregnancy.
I have a special table in my office that is designed to accommodate the pregnant body. Many women receive great relief from pain by having chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy.
So many problems are seeing great results with chiropractic care combined with Class IV Laser therapy, available at Stone Chiropractic. This is the same laser that was featured in the news recently. Here’s what patients have to say about our laser: Nearly two years ago …

Sports injuries are common in today’s active society. Due to increases in athletes’ size, speed, power and strength, greater stress in placed upon an athlete’s muscles, tendons and ligaments. The key to properly treating a chronic sports injury is to identify the complete cause, not simply to treat the injured area.
If an individual suffers from multiple chronic sports injuries, dehydration must be ruled out. This is found in individuals that have a tendency to sweat more than average. In this case, increasing water intake is good, but not sufficient to ward off potential injuries. Electrolyte balance is very important because sweat contains salts that must be replaced. When the body is dehydrated and imbalanced from an electrolyte standpoint, pulled muscles are very common.
Chronic sports injuries are often due to overuse syndromes. In year-round warm climates, like in California and Florida, athletes can play the same sport throughout the year making overuse and repetitive stress injuries such as tendinitis (painful inflammation of the tendons), and arthritis (joint inflammation) commonplace.
At Stone Chiropractic, athletes enjoy the benefits of having a chiropractor who knows extremity adjusting. Not only can Dr. Stone align the spine, but ankles, knees, wrists, shoulders, all get put in their places, thus improving the golf swing, the running, the balance, etc.
Dr. Stone also addresses nutrition as it applies to athletes. With the increased intake of oxygen comes the increased need for anti-oxidants and omega 3.
In addition, Dr. Stone has the K-Laser. This is a class IV, 10 watt laser that heals on the cellular level. There is a wide variety of sports injuries that heal faster with laser therapy:
