For many individuals, chiropractic  is associated with taking care of the spine and back.

Unfortunately, not many people understand that chiropractic actually works with the nervous system that is encased and protected with the spine. By freeing up areas of tension in the spine, the chiropractor allows for a better flow of information within the nervous system. This, in turn, allows the body’s healing capacities to express themselves better. In other words, the body can heal and function better.

Chiropractic has a long history of taking care of children with ADHD. Some of the first documented studies date back to the 1970’s. Lately, I have personally been involved in documenting what chiropractors can do for peole with ADHD.

You can check out some of the preliminary results on this page:

If you would like to find a chiropractor, I recommend you look for a chiropractor with either of the following subspecialties (this are the ones that are most likely to help and have some studies to back them up. Obviously that does not mean than other chiropractors cannot help):

• Chiropractors with specialty training in chiropractic neurology (www.acnb.org)
• Chiropractors with training in chiropractic pediatrics (www.icpa4kids.com)
• Chiropractors specializing in upper cervical                   (check www.erinelster.com)
• Chiropractors specializing in Network Spinal Analysis (www.wiseworldseminars.com)
• Chiropractors specialinzing in Neuro-Emotional Technique (www.netmindbody.com)
