New study that just came out TODAY! The study evaluates the relationship between lack of motion in a child’s neck and chronic tension headaches in healthy children. We see and help many patients with headaches, it is always amusing to me that no physician has looked into the cervical (neck) spine of headache patients to find the root cause of the problem. Medication is not the way to go unless all other options have been exhausted specially in children.
This study shows that majority of the children who have been suffering from chronic tension headaches have reduced range of motion in their cervical (neck) spine and lack of motion in those segments causes taut and tender muscles in the area that can then lead to tension headaches. This research study supports the fact that the cervical spine should be the explored in children with headaches as the root cause of the problem.
Chiropractors help patients whether a child or an adult in determining if the root cause of a tension headache is in the spine; if that is the case, a chiropractor can help! Be sure the chiropractor you chose to go to is experienced and specializes in seeing children. Chiropractic care can also help strengthen the immune system and help the body function better.

This is an example of what corrective care chiropractors are doing. A 5 year old patient diagnosed with ADHD and treated by a pediatrician with methylphenidate (Ritalin), Adderall, and Haldol since he’s been 2 years old and without any success other than the side effects that may have affected his nervous system negatively. He gets under the care of a corrective care chiropractor and he recognizes the lack of curve in his Cervical spine (neck) that are stretching the nerves inside of the spinal cord that communicate with his brain. An 8 week treatment of his spine and his facial tics are resolved nd his behavior has vastly improved. At visit 27, he is taken off the medication by his pediatrician because he no longer has ADHD symptoms. Magic? no. Simple physiology of the spine and the nervous system? yes.
The changes in structure and function may be related to the correction of his cervical curve (neck curve). If your child is suffering from or has been diagnosed with ADHD, try chiropractic before you count on medication with lots of horrible side effects for your child.
Today, CDC announced that more parents are refusing vaccinations for their new born. In 2002 and 2003 only 22 percent of parents opted for delayed or no vaccines whereas in 2008, almost 40 percent of parents in America have made the educated decision of not vaccinating their kids. I guess I’m not surprised at the fact that this fact didn’t make the news. Of course if more and more parents were refusing vaccination and that was on the news, then even more families would be educated on dangers of vaccines and the pharmaceutical companies who invest in vaccines would not very happy.
Please educate yourself before you vaccinate your kids!

That was the topic of an article that caught my eye this morning, followed by the fact that children who take ADD/ADHD medication have significantly higher blood pressure.
This article is based on research that has compared kids with ADHD who take prescription medication for their condition and those who avoid the drugs all together. It claims that the children taking medication were doing poorly in school by 10 times than the kids who have ADHD and were not taking medication. This study also indicated that at age 14 the medication group had higher blood pressure and an increased risk for heart attacks, stroke as well as depression. Is it worth it?
