ADD and or ADHD
ADD and or ADHD
SOURCE: Am J Psychiatry. 2009 (Sep); 166 (9): 992-1001
This new study revealed that stimulant medications, specifically methylphenidate, are associated with a 6- to 7-times increased risk for sudden death in children and adolescents. UGH!
What does the FDA say about that? “Given the limitation of this study’s methodology, the FDA is unable to conclude that these data affect the overall risk and benefit profile of stimulant medications used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity.”
Vaccination
Vaccination is a controversial topic with chiropractors because of our non-drug and non-surgery approach to health.
The Vaccination Page attempts to present both sides of the vaccination issue.

It also links to the ADD/ADHD Page. This page discusses conservative management protocols, including chiropractic care and nutritional management. (more…)
Working With Extremities?
Working With Extremities?
I’m not sure how many chiropractic schools teach extremity adjusting (ankles, wrists, elbows, shoulders), but if you do extremity work, then you will love our Shoulder Girdle Page.
The page starts with scholarly papers by Richard Schafer, D.C. on managing shoulder and joint trauma. It also contains several other FULL-TEXT papers on shoulder management. I hope you will find this material of interest!

The Rehabilitation Corner ~ Part 2
Dr. Richard C. Schafer, DC, PhD, FICC gave us permission back in 1998 to reproduce a series of his rehabilitation Monographs on our website.
Dr. Schafer is the most-published chiropractic author, and his textbooks were best sellers through the 80s and 90s. RC was the first DC author to be picked up by a medical publisher (Williams & Wilkins), and his books made millions for the ACA.
