"My child has AD/HD, can chiropractic help?"

We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!

Lots of people call their chiropractor if they have back, neck, sciatica, arm, leg, headache and other kinds of pain. But chiropractic care can do so much more! Here are a couple of examples of why babies and children need chiropractic care. (Don’t leave them home when you come in for your visit.)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and chiropractic. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 2.6% to 11.4% of children. More parents are looking for non-drug approaches to help their children. Can chiropractic help?

In this study four male children were evaluated before and after chiropractic care. All the children showed improvement in ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattentiveness, as well as behavioral, social or emotional difficulties, under chiropractic care. (10)

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)

A chiropractic case study: scoliosis, migraines and ADD

Scoliosis, attention deficit disorder, migraines.

This is the case of a 7-year-old girl born with right side facial paralysis (from a difficult birth), scoliosis, attention deficit disorder, difficulty concentrating, vomiting and light sensitivity from intense migraine headaches since the age of 2. Her parents brought her in for chiropractic care and subluxation correction was initiated. Along with improvement of her subjective complaints such as migraines, difficulty concentrating and light sensitivity, after just one month of care X-rays revealed a 62% improvement in scoliosis.
