ADHD Helped With Chiropractic, A Case Study
In the October 2004 issue of the peer-reviewed research publication, the
Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT), comes a
case study of a child with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder),
who was helped with chiropractic.
The case was of a 5 year old boy who had been diagnosed with ADHD at age
2. The child’s pediatrician prescribed methylphenidate (Ritalin), Adderall, and
Haldol for the next 3 years. The combination of drugs was unsuccessful in
helping the child.
At age 5 the child was brought to a chiropractor to see if chiropractic care
would help. The history taken at that time noted that during the child’s birth,
there were complications during his delivery process. The results of this
trauma and complications resulted in a 4-day stay in the neonatal intensive
care unit. The child’s mother reported no other incidence of trauma.
The chiropractic examination and x-rays showed noticeable spinal distortion
including a reversal of the normal neck curve indicative of subluxations.
Chiropractic care was begun and the child’s progress was monitored.
According to his mother, positive changes in her son's general behavior were
noticed around the twelfth visit. By the 27th visit the patient had experienced
considerable improvement.
The child was brought by the mother to the medical doctor for a follow up visit
and questioned the usage of the Ritalin. The medical doctor reviewed and
examined the child and based on that assessment and his clinical
experience, the MD felt that the young boy was no longer exhibiting
symptoms associated with ADHD. He then took the boy off the medications
that he had been taking for 3 years.
The conclusion of the author of the JMPT case study noted, “The patient
experienced significant reduction in symptoms. Additionally, the medical
doctor concluded that the reduction in symptoms was significant enough to
discontinue the medication.”

Pain Relief without the Side Effects
by Ellen Blomerth, D.C.
"They've taken away my pain medication," George, an elderly patient worried.
"Now my arthritis pain is returning. What am I going to do? I hurt so much, but
the side effects could kill me". What can people like George do?
George, like millions of other arthritis sufferers, is rightly concerned about the
safety of a number of anti-inflammatories called Cox-2-Inhibitors. A warning is
out about the popular arthritis drug Celebrex, as it increased heart attacks in
a recent study. This is the same class of drugs that contains Vioxx, which was
pulled from the market due to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke,
and Bextra, which had a heart warning added to its label this year. George
and people like him are searching for safe pain relief. Fortunately there are
natural alternatives that are safe, and without the life-threatening side effects.
First among these is chiropractic care. Chiropractic is the largest drug-free,
natural healing profession in the United States. It has been around for over
100 years. Modern doctors of Chiropractic are highly trained health care
providers. What can a chiropractor do for arthritis and other muscle and joint
type pains? Quite a lot actually.
Even for people with chronic pain, research has shown a benefit with
chiropractic care. The type of care that chiropractors are so highly trained to
provide, has been shown to improve spinal function and reduce pain. A recent
study comparing the Cox-2 iIhibitors Vioxx/Celebrex/Bextra to chiropractic
spinal adjusting for the treatment of chronic spinal pain was published in July
2003 in Spine. Spine is the world's number one orthopedic journal. It was
proven that chiropractic spinal adjusting was better than 5 times more
effective in treating chronic spinal pain than were the Cox-2 Inhibitors. In
addition, the drugs resulted in more patients experiencing adverse reactions,
side effects, than pain relief during the study period. Chiropractic spinal
adjusting resulted in far superior results with no adverse reactions.
Modern chiropractic has evolved over the years to include many ways to
safely treat elderly patients, even frail elders. Other methods some
chiropractors use also include nutritional advice as some foods encourage
the inflammation that causes pain. Other foods encourage our bodies to
produce their own anti-inflammatory hormones. There are safe nutrients now
available that further enhance our body's production of these innate
anti-inflammatories. And because our body makes the anti-inflammatory itself,
there are no side effects.
Prevention is always worth a pound of cure. Chiropractic care has now been
shown to reduce the effects of aging on the spine. Exciting new research
proves that spinal manipulation prevents the loss of joint function and the
arthritic changes that accompany it as we age.
"The benefits of spinal manipulation are well documented in the scientific
literature and research continues to establish the efficacy of chiropractic
care", notes Dr. Howard Ewert, Research Chair for the Massachusetts
Chiropractic Society. "However, unfortunately, the media does not adequately
inform the public about the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic." Dr. Ewert
led a dedicated team of chiropractors in compiling supporting research
studies for chiropractic care. The MassChiro.org Research library is now a
clearinghouse for the health care consumer. It was also created to inform and
educate the allied health professional, the legislator and the Third Party Pay
(insurance company) official in making more informed decisions about
including chiropractic in a team approach to health.
Help your family and friends learn more about what chiropractic can do for
them.
