A 4½-year-old male child with learning disabilities, reduced social interaction and increased sensory stimulation behaviors presented for chiropractic care. The patient was suspected to have attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) along with his diagnosis of sensory processing disorder one-year prior.

The child was adjusted for subluxations and placed on a gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and casein-free diet. In addition, exercises were given to stimulate the patient’s sensory nerve pathways. The child experienced a decrease in outbursts, improved attention span, improved ability to focus and he began to read. (6)

Can Van Every Family Chiropractic Center help with my child's bed wetting and attention problems?

Chiropractors are often sought out if a person has back, neck, sciatica, arm, leg, headache and other kinds of pain. But chiropractic is not for conditions. Chiropractic is for people! (By the way, pregnant women and babies especially need chiropractic care.)

Bedwetting and attention problems. An eleven-year-old boy with a history of nocturnal enuresis and attention problems was determined to have subluxations during chiropractic examination. Adjustments were applied at sites of vertebral subluxations at the C2, C6, T1, T5, T12, L3, L5 and pelvic segments. The patient and mother reported a significant decrease in episodes of bedwetting and an improvement in his attention problems. (11)
