Chiropractic Care Can Help With ADHDADHD

ADHD, or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a condition that affects children and adults alike. Roughly 6.4 million children between the ages of four and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD and the numbers continue to increase. While the standard medical approach to ADHD involves the use of psychotropic medications, some parents are wary about prescribing their child these medications due to their serious and deadly side effects. This is where chiropractic care comes in.

The main idea behind chiropractic care is to restore optimal function to the nervous system through spinal manipulation. Doctors of chiropractic have reported success with attention-deficit disorder for years, suggesting that regular chiropractic care can help improve the symptoms of ADHD as well as your overall well-being. In one recent study on the correlation between ADHD and chiropractic adjustments, chiropractic care proved effective in treating a wide range of symptoms, from improved attention spans to lower activity levels. The results showed that chiropractic care was 20 to 40 percent more effective than the commonly used medications associated with ADHD.

Improve Symptoms of Bell’s Palsy With Chiropractic Care

Bell’s Palsy affects nearly 50,000 people every year. People who are diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, a paralysis or weakness of facial nerves on one side of the face, often have very limited options when it comes to effective treatments. Some treatments are medicine-based with the use of steroids and antivirals, while others involve the use of electrical stimulation or low-level laser therapy. If you’re not fond of taking medication, or you don’t like the idea of low-level laser therapy, consider chiropractic care instead.

Chiropractic care can help with Bell’s Palsy by locating and correcting subluxations, or spinal misalignments that interfere with the proper functioning of the nervous system. When there are problem areas of the spine such of subluxations, they can have a negative effect on your entire nervous system. This can irritate your nerves by putting extra pressure on them, which can interfere with the communication between your brain and your body. When you visit F.I.R.S.T Health in Torrance for a chiropractic appointment, our chiropractors will work on relieving your spinal pressure to help reduce your symptoms of Bell’s Palsy.

Chiropractic Care Can Help Lower Blood Pressure

Did you know that chiropractic care can help people who suffer from high blood pressure? In March of 2007, the Journal of Human Hypertension published a study that demonstrated how chiropractic care can help reduce blood pressure levels. The study involved 50 individuals with high blood pressure who received chiropractic treatments to adjust their Atlas vertebra, which is located at the base of the skull. The physicians saw a tremendous improvement in blood pressure levels following the chiropractic adjustments of each patients.

Crohn’s Disease And Chiropractic Treatment

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects a person’s gastrointestinal tract. This inflammation can result in abdominal pain, fatigue, severe and persistent diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition. While there is no known cure for Crohn’s disease, the most common treatment path is drug therapy and surgery. A 2007 study found that 12 out of 17 Crohn’s disease participants experienced long-term and stable remission of their symptoms after a chiropractic adjustment. The study also found that vertebral subluxation is a common characteristic of patients who suffer from Crohn’s disease.
