Understanding and Managing Colic in Infants: A Holistic Approach In this episode of the Pangaea Health Podcast, Dr. Andrew Torchio and Dr. Ashley Torchio dive into the challenging topic of colic in infants. They discuss the immense stress colic can cause for families and emphasize that colic is often a blanket term used when the cause of the baby's distress is unknown. The doctors explain how chiropractic care, with a 94% success rate, can help alleviate colic by addressing misalignments in the baby's upper neck that affect the nervous system. They also consider dietary impacts, particularly food sensitivities passed from mother to baby through breast milk, and discuss the importance of a low-toxin environment.  Additionally, they encourage parents to research vaccinations thoroughly, considering potential adverse reactions.
