Chronic headache in an eight-year-old. An 8-year old boy who suffered from chronic headaches for two years was brought in for chiropractic care. The headaches were described as sharp and throbbing, worse with noise, better when lying down, and located in the frontal skull area and occasionally lasted an entire day. He also suffered from sore throat, fatigue, queasiness, aches, pains and dizziness.
His parents brought him to a neurologist, psychologist and nutritionist with limited health improvements.
Initially the child was adjusted three times a week then progressed to a maintenance schedule of two times per month for a total of 86 visits in 20 months of care. Initially his cervical x-ray showed a flat spine – there was no curve. After 6 months of care his cervical lordosis (curve) was near normal for his age. His headaches and other symptoms resolved. (5)

Chronic constipation in a child. A 7-year-old-boy presented for care with complaints of chronic constipation, headaches and neck pain. The boy had suffered from constipation since the age of three. At age 5, MDs prescribed enemas (three times per week) but this gave only temporary relief. By age 6, stool softeners and the laxative MiraLAX® were prescribed. Three to four weeks prior to chiropractic care, the boy had bowel movements of once per week.
Over the course of 6 weeks, the child had 10 adjustments. The mother reported that her son had bowel movements of 5-6 times per week without the need for laxatives. (6)

KST or Koren Specific Technique is so gentle it can be used to provide infants with the chiropractic care they need! Watch below as Daniel gets a KST adjustment at three months old. He had his first adjustment at four days old. Mom says that he is less fussy after an adjustment and that she believes it plays a factor in why he is such a good sleeper.

Chiropractic adjustments part of an ADHD treatment plan
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!
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 chiropractic help infants and toddlers?
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!
Over a century of success in helping children regain and retain their health has made chiropractic the healthcare of choice for millions of parents and their children throughout the world.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural, non-invasive form of healthcare that respects the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Your chiropractor’s goal is to assist the body to regain optimal functioning by removing blockages and releasing stress so that balance and harmony among your body’s systems can be restored.
Chiropractors are specially trained to locate and release blockages commonly caused by tiny misalignments of the structural system. These blockages (called subluxations) create dis-ease or disharmony, which can lead to lowered resistance to disease, organ malfunction, poor posture, pain, and physical and emotional illness. (1)
The Earliest Years
Chiropractors have helped babies suffering from nearly every condition imaginable: colic, vomiting, sleeping problems, tonsillitis, vision and hearing problems and many, many others. (2-4)
Toddlerhood Through Childhood
Toddlerhood through childhood is a very physical time. Those first hesitant steps soon evolve into jumping and running, with falls and accidents accompanying each new skill. Even a small fall can cause damage with potential long-term consequences. (5)
Ear infections, asthma and allergies have responded to chiropractic care. (6-7)
In addition there are reports of chiropractic care helping children suffering from autism. Some children were later re-diagnosed as normal after chiropractic care. (8-9)
Improved Academic Performance
Chiropractic care has been a blessing to many children (and their parents) who were experiencing learning problems.
Both clinical reports and research validate chiropractic’s success with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), lack of energy or “low mental stamina”, anxiety, behavioral problems and other learning disabilities. Researchers as well as parents have reported improvements in both grades and IQ as a result of chiropractic care. (10-11)
Chiropractic Checkups Are Vital
All children, especially if they are ill, need bodies free of blockages to the flow of energy and information in his/her nervous systems. It might make the difference between a life of strength and health and a life of weakness and illness.
