Join AICE Chiropractic Paediatrics for their upcoming webinar titled ‘Rome V renamed Colic — and put the Nervous System at the Centre Webinar’ presented by Dr Janine Kinahan. 

Rome V didn’t just rename infantile colic to Infant Distress Syndrome; it reclassified it as a disorder of gut-brain interaction. That reframing matters more to chiropractors than almost anyone else in the room, because it puts autonomic regulation, vagal tone, and HPA-axis development at the centre of the presentation, not just gut motility.

This session works through the anatomy: what’s actually happening in an infant’s developing autonomic nervous system, how HPA-axis dysregulation shows up in these babies (steeper cortisol slopes are documented well beyond infancy — Brett et al. 2024), and why gentle input to a system this immature is a plausible, mechanistically coherent point of intervention — not a leap of faith.

Then we get practical: how you position this to GPs so you’re read as part of the care team instead of competing with it, what you can responsibly tell parents about what’s understood versus what’s inferred, and how a solid grasp of the new Rome V framework translates into a referral conversation that actually gets picked up.

Come to this session and you’ll be ahead of the curve in understanding what these changes mean for babies, for parents, and for how you practice.
