As the wealth of scientific information in the chiropractic field continues to build, we want to keep you up to date with the latest research. This blog focuses on chiropractic and children. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to make informed decisions about your child’s health.
Do subluxations Cause Asthma and Allergies?
In this study, a seven year old patient was brought to a chiropractor for evaluation of recurring symptoms related to allergies and asthma (he was receiving medication for both). He had frequently suffered from symptoms of these ailments since the age of five months. After 2 weeks of chiropractic care, including full spine adjustments at all levels of vertebral subluxation, he was able to stop his allergy and asthma medications.
Here’s something fascinating to note. This child missed an average of one to two days of school per month. After initiating chiropractic care, the child did not miss a day of school for an entire year.

Can Chiropractic Help Autistic Children?
In a recent review on autism, the authors of the article cited a study of 26 autistic children treated with chiropractic adjustments. Significant positive changes were noted. Some of the children were able to stop medication. Other significant physical and behavioral improvements were achieved. Five of the autistic children were even able to attend regular classes at school for the first time.
Although some case studies have shown dramatic results with chiropractic treatments on autistic children, the review authors cautioned that more controlled studies are needed to draw a conclusion on the effectiveness of chiropractic for this disorder.

Is ADHD a Pain in the Neck?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder affects approximately 3%-10% of our children under the age of 18. It’s a collection of signs and symptoms that interferes with a child’s ability to remain attentive and control hyperactive behavior.
A five year old diagnosed with ADHD was brought to a chiropractor for assessment and treatment. The child was x-rayed and physically examined. The chiropractor identified multiple areas of spinal restrictions and a reversed curve in the child’s neck.
Chiropractic treatments included spinal adjustments, plus specific exercises and traction according to Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) protocols to return the cervical spine to a normal curvature. Following 35 treatments over 8 weeks, the cervical spine curve changed by over 40 degrees. As well, the patient’s behavior also changed dramatically for the better.
As of the 27th treatment, the medical doctor stated that the child no longer exhibits signs of ADHD and took the patient off all medications.
More studies are required to determine if this treatment can be consistently helpful.

The main reason you have back troubles is because your body and spine happen to be taken out of their normal position and straight into what we simply call dysfunctions. In case you are like most people, you move around and live your life with out ever being aware you’re forcing your body to cooperate with these dysfunctions, and in due time your body breaks down.

I understand why she some feel that autism is a gift, but I doubt they felt that way growing up, and I doubt that all of the parents who have autistic children at the other of the spectrum feel that way. It’s a gift only when one makes it into one. A good lesson that to learn is not to be so hasty to give up on a child at such a young age. It seems like doctors categorize autistic children very young, and that sets the tone for the rest of their lives. As far as we’ve come, there is still much that medical science does not understand and cannot explain about autistic children, or many other things for that matter.
i wouldn’t have believed this had been trendy a few years ago yet its funny just how age adjusts the manner you understand distinct concepts, thanks regarding the posting it’s relaxing to go through something intelligent occasionally in lieu of the common garbage mascarading as information sites on the web,im buzzing to play with a few myspace poker chips cheers
Interesting, I have not heard about this…
Your post has been more than helpful. I just started a blog and I’m not getting any traffic at all. Can you help me out? Thanks Dave
