Disorders that involve a delay in development of social and communication skills are typically grouped together into a category named Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD).

The neurodevelopmental disorder labelled as autism is defined by the atypical social interaction and communication where the individual uses repetitive behaviours and mannerisms.

Individuals with autism suffer from impairments in social interactions, both verbal and non-verbal communication and exhibit repetitive or reserved behavioural patterns during activities and interests. The first patient in this case study was a 20 year old autistic male who had [...]

Sensory processing disorders (SPD) are impairments in responding and detecting to sensory stimuli. It has been found that 5% of children met the criteria for a SPD. SPD ranges in many different ways and also exhibits a large overlap in symptoms with other conditions such as learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. Chiropractic care was included in the care of SPD children and found an improvement in neurodevelopment. In a case study of a 4 year old child who exhibited symptoms of aggressiveness, eating a substantial amount of food and breaking out in blotchy rashes, was diagnosed with PSD. The child [...]

It is critical for chiropractors to approach the growing number of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities and depression cases in order to restore and correct subluxations for optimal health. Chiropractors are working hard to gain knowledge from epidemiological research in order to apply to clinical recommendations when treating individuals who suffer from mental disorders. Ultimately, chiropractic case studies hold a critical place in reducing mortality from disease process through interventions. A case study of an 8 year old boy who suffers from ADHD and learning disorder experienced significant improvement from subluxation based chiropractic care. Since medications appeared to negatively [...]
