This care falls into the realm of what traditional physicians call Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The use of CAM has increased over the past two decades, and surveys have shown that up to 44% of patients with neurological type problems use one form or another of non-traditional medical treatment. The studies available on the success of Chiropractic care and ADHD are very limited and some consider the available studies to be &quot;promotional&quot; in nature. That is, they promote the use of Chiropractic care. The same criticism however could be leveled at studies performed by the pharmaceutical companies. The benefits of chiropractic care for ADHD is probably related to the individual counselling and treatment given by each individual Chiropractic provider to whatever problem symptoms is treated. A chiropractor who counsels the family on appropriate Executive function and behavioral interventions for ADHD symptoms should be and will be as successful as a Psychiatrist who does the same.Tesshttp://primarilyinattentiveadd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102713423319258388.post-25135637761050249372011-12-31T19:01:00.760-05:002011-12-31T19:01:00.760-05:00There are many parents these days that take their children for chiropractic treatment and care.
