Natural Treatment For ADD
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care may help reduce or eliminate the symptoms associated with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). A study published in August 2012 reported that a 19-year-old male suffered from long-term back pain, ADD, and sleep problems. The researchers found that the man's conditions improved with continuous chiropractic care.
Patient Background
The young man’s father stated that his son had suffered from ADD his entire life; however, the chief complaint was pain in the middle and lower back. These symptoms had manifested in the last five years, leading to difficulties in organizing and paying attention, which impacted the patient’s daily activities, including school and work.
Chiropractic Examination
A complete chiropractic exam was performed, including spinal x-rays and a thorough analysis of the patient. The examination determined that the man suffered from subluxation of the atlas vertebra in the upper neck, causing impaired neurological functions.
Assessment
Additional tests measured spontaneous and evoked brain activity, sleep patterns, visual responses, and physical functions. These assessments were conducted before chiropractic care was administered, and the patient's response to treatment was evaluated using aftercare procedures.
Results of Chiropractic Treatment
The assessments indicated improvements in sleep, ADD scores, attention span, and visual responses. The results were immediate, and the patient continued to show improvement in subsequent tests. Additionally, the patient reported that the long-term pain in his back, neck, and head had disappeared. He stated that he could play a musical instrument again and was no longer clumsy. The study indicated that the improvements in the patient’s symptoms were achieved through chiropractic care.
Behavioral Improvements
The patient's mother reported improvements in behavior and attention span. The study noted that the patient became more cooperative and was able to complete tasks assigned to him, including school work and chores. Additionally, he began attending classes at a local college.
