Learning Disorders and Chiropractic

Recent statistics indicate that over eight million children in the U.S. suffer from a learning disability. The cause is now being traced back to nerve interference.

Children with learning disorders have trouble in many aspects of their life. They develop emotional and self-esteem issues that later lead to psychological problems.

Hyperactive children are often put on the drug, Ritalin. This medicine has many side effects, and in some cases can actually worsen your child’s condition.

A prominent Director of Psychoeducational and Guidance Services of College Station, Texas, noted that out of 10,000 hyperactive children treated, the ones that had prior chiropractic care showed the most dramatic improvement. Children were then referred to chiropractors for treatment. In this blind study, chiropractic adjustments were about 30% more effective then the popular medications.

By improving nerve flow it could be possible to change many bodily functions. In our clinic we check our children’s spine on a regular basis. Parents that want healthy children should have their spine checked regularly.


Healthfully Yours,

  1. Dr. Bob,

    Great information....I was not aware that chiropractic treatments helped with learning disabilities. Ritalin is a common drug given to kids with attention deficit disorder....with mixed results.

    What other benefits can regular chiropractic care bring children?

    Thanks

  2. WOW...that is fantastic if a child could quit their meds and get the same results! How often would they need to be adjusted?
