ADHD

Some spinal problems can cause ADHD like symptoms because if the spine is not connected to the brain properly nerves from the spinal cord can give the brain all of signals at once making a child rambunctious and always on the go.

A Chiropractor is Doctor trained in the science, art and philosophy of manipulation (adjustment) of the human body. Chiropractic evaluation and treatment is directed at evaluating the cause of the problem through structural analysis of the musculo-skeletal systems of the body. Abnormal function of these systems can lead to abnormal function of the body's nervous system, which in turn may effect function of other systems in the body.

Chiropractic has also been a proven treatment for ADD/ADHD. Twenty-four children were tested in an independent research project conducted by the Psychoeducational & Guidance Service of Texas A&M University. Twelve children received chiropractic care and twelve received medical care.

The outcome proved children receiving chiropractic care improved more than children treated with drugs in areas such as verbal output, reading and comprehension, attitude and self-esteem, coordination and emotional maturity.
