Chiropractic, Instead of Drugs, For ADHD

by Dr. Steve Alff on August 10, 2009

An article published in the “Dynamic Chiropracitc” newsletter, dated July 29, 2009, with the above title explains the results of a study published in the “American Journal of Psychiatry” which emphasized the potential risks of children aged 7 to 10 dying unexpectedly while under the influence of stimulant drugs like Ritalin and Concerta.
These drugs are used extensively to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disease (ADHD).

The article goes on to highlight another study done by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) that “shows promising results for children under Chiropractic care”. In addition to the above report, the CBS Early Show June 15 “Health Watch” segment also recommended chiropractic care, along with dietary changes, as a potential treatment option for children with ADHD.

It seems that the trust is finally coming out about the dangers of drug treatment, especially for children and the importance of Chiropractic spinal adjustments and proper nutrition to support our health.
