Question
1. How have you assessed progress of your patients with attention deficit disorder to chiropractor treatments?

2. What feedback have you received from patients and parents to such treatments?

3. Are chiropractic treatments more effective as supplements to medication such as Ritalin or Adderall, or are they viable to replace medication altogether, when applied with other non-drug alternatives such as diet and biofeedback?

4.Are chiropractic treatments safe for children?

Thank you for your time in answering these questions. I am doing a study on the effectiveness of new non-drug alternatives for treating attention deficit disorder.

Regards,
Denise M. Heal

Answer
Denise,

Thank you so much for your questions.  This is a great topic and I know that many chiropractors do work in this area.  Unfortunately, I do not treat ADD/ADHD at this time.

I can answer your 4th question however.  Chiropractic is completely safe for children of all ages as long as a proper evaluation has been performed.

I am sorry I could not help you more.  If you have any other questions, please contact me again.
