CHIROPRACTIC and SPINAL RESEARCH
Infertility. A 23-year-old woman with a history of infertility, amenorrhea (no menstrual cycle), low back pain and six weeks of progressively worsening numbness and tingling in both of her legs and feet began chiropractic care. She had a six-year history of birth control use. She was unable to conceive. Under chiropractic care her low back pain and leg and feet numbness completely resolved. She had her first natural menstrual cycle 3 ½ months after beginning care and discovered she was pregnant one month later. (6) ADD/ADHD. A seven-year-old girl with ADD/ADHD (hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder) and focusing problems, sleep disturbances and aggressive, negative behavior toward her sister was brought in for chiropractic care. Improvements were noted on the daughter's weekly behavioral assessments. The mother noticed an overall change in her attitude as well as improvement with specific tasks. (7) Whiplash. Forty-one patients with whiplash injuries (age 17-67) received chiropractic care. After 20 visits over a 10 week period the patients went from a pain level of 7.1 to a pain level of 0.6. (8)
