According to a recent study from the CDC, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder now occurs in 1 out of every 10 children. I was shocked to read this! One in 10 children have ADHD?
Are you kidding me? Does this blow your mind? It should.
I have found that in most cases, children with ADHD will be helped with improved diet and chiropractic adjustments.
When the nerves in the cervical spine are aggravated, this can cause your body to react in several different ways. For our purposes today, the most important is a tightening of the muscles in the neck and upper back. This tightening in adults can cause increased tension, headaches, and insomnia. The muscle tightening in children will make it nearly impossible for them to relax, pay attention, get adequate sleep, or concentrate.
Your next question should be, is chiropractic care safe for children? The answer is a resounding YES. Over the last 20 years we have treated children of all ages, the youngest was a boy 3 weeks old, (shoulder dislocation).
I suggest talking to your chiropractor about his knowledge and comfort level with adjusting children.
