Chiropractic Help for Learning Disorders

Recently published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR), a case study indicated that chiropractic therapy can help in dealing with learning and behavioral disorders. Apart from these ailments, the 8-year old boy suffered from severe headaches, stomach pains, neck pain, blood shot eyes, lack of coordination and ability to sit still. The child’s mother reported that no guidance or explanation was offered by their doctor.

In fact, the boy had fallen 18 months earlier, which was followed by most of his problems. Until the accident, he was reported to have normal learning skills, activity and development. Due to the medical doctor’s failure to explain the cause of such problems, the mother contacted a chiropractor.

Following examination and x-rays, the chiropractor noted restricted neck movement and certain tender neck vertebrae. The findings were reviewed to confirm the presence of vertebral subluxations and care was started to correct the same. The boy’s visits were fixed at once a week for the first two months.

The case documentation shows that positive changes occurred swiftly. The child’s spelling tests after the third adjustment were a drastic improvement over the initial performance. Prior to chiropractic care, the child could only get two or three correct out of ten due to severe learning disorders. In contrast, he scored a 100% after the second adjustment and was able to concentrate and sit still.

Reports from school continued to show improvement in the academic as well as social activities of the child. The authors of the case study noted multiple explanations for the positive results. Apart from several ‘over the counter’ medications, the boy’s mother did not report consumption of any prescribed drugs. The improvement in the boy’s learning and development skills was directly correlated with the use of chiropractic therapy.
