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.”

America Remembers Ronald Reagan

                                              World news recently has focused on
                                              the passing of the 40th President of
                                              the United States, Ronald Reagan.
                                              Since his passing on June 5, 2004, all
                                              media have been covering the
                                              ceremonies and memorials held for
                                              Reagan's passing. Much of this
                                              media coverage has been spent
                                              examining his past and Midwestern
                                              roots.

What most people do not know is that Ronald Reagan had an indelible link to
the chiropractic profession. His first job in show business was as a radio
announcer in the early thirties on two radio stations owned by the developer
of chiropractic Dr. BJ Palmer.

Dr. BJ Palmer was the son of Dr. DD Palmer who discovered chiropractic. He
is widely credited with the development of
chiropractic. However, in addition to his
life-long career in chiropractic, Dr. Palmer
was also fascinated with radio and was
a pioneer in this area.

Palmer owned two stations, WOC and
a sister station WHO in the Davenport -
Quad Cities area of Iowa and Illinois which
is the birthplace of chiropractic. These
two stations were where Reagan got his
first jobs as a sports broadcaster, covering college football games.
