Summary

To date the effects of chiropractic care on behavior and neurological function in children diagnosed with ADHD has not been investigated thoroughly and is limited mostly to case studies and retrospective case reviews. Our research group recently completed a pilot study that investigated the effects of a single session of chiropractic care on oculomotor function and reading ability in children with ADHD. The findings of this study suggested that chiropractic care may have a role in improving oculomotor control and reading ability in this population group. This proposed study is the next step in this program of research and is a pilot clinical trial that will investigate whether 4 weeks of chiropractic care influences behavior, neurological function, or quality of life in children with ADHD.
