A study in the American Journal of Psychiatry suggests that methylphenidate, found in ADHD drugs such as Ritalin and Concerta, may cause sudden death in children. In addition, other studies link Ritalin to an increased risk of stroke and heart attack.
Fortunately, medication is not the only way to treat behavioral problems. There are several natural, drug-free alternatives, including chiropractic care.
Chiropractic philosophy says that if the body is in correct alignment, it will function properly. Misalignments in the body cause irritation of the nervous system and lead to malfunction. By gently adjusting and re-aligning the body, chiropractic helps to remove interference and improve communication between the brain, spine, nerves, organs, and tissues resulting in a healthier, more relaxed, and functional person. Children, due to their young age and accelerated healing capabilities, generally respond very well, very quickly to care.

Chiropractic treatment can treat anything. That is what I think. Because chiropractic treatment focus on our backbones. Backbones were the main pillar of our body. It is connected to every part of our body.
