Helping Children With Learning Difficulties and Behavioral Issues


If your child has learning difficulties or behavioral problems, it can be extremely frustrating. Parents often feel isolated in their search for answers and for help. While there could be many different causes for learning difficulties and behavioral problems, some natural therapies and treatments, such as chiropractic care, can help these children.

Behavioral issues, such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), may actually stem from cranial faults or imbalances within the micro motion of the bones in the skull. Up to 80 per cent of children who have hyperactivity, learning difficulties, developmental delay, and behavioral challenges have cranial faults. Forceps delivery, prenatal stress (via the mother, falls on their head, or sports injuries can all cause cranial faults, which a chiropractor can correct.

When cranial injuries are not treated or corrected, the continuous stress on the nervous system will lead to compromised body chemistry, which could lead to your child experiencing poor health as a teenager or an adult. Besides a cranial fault, misalignments in the spine (known as vertebral subluxations) can prevent a child from learning as easily as others do. If the daily physical stresses cause misalignments in the spine, the brain may not receive enough stimulation and this could cause some of the learning difficulties or behavioral challenges, as well as other health problems.

Warning signs of a possible cranial fault or subluxation include:


Hyperactivity or restlessness;
Learning difficulty;
Poor appetite;
Behavioral challenges;
Aggression;
Withdrawal; or
Poor self-esteem and motivation.

The Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR) recently published a study that showed that chiropractic care offered significant benefits to children who suffer from learning disabilities, difficulties, and dyslexia.

Affecting between three and ten per cent of Australian school age children, learning difficulties and dyslexia can decrease a child's self-esteem and motivation and can lead to social difficulties or problems.

Doctors and scientists are increasingly recognising learning disorders and dyslexia as neuro-developmental disorders, which means the child who has these conditions has a part of the brain that is not functioning properly. One of the key issues is an underdeveloped cerebellum. This section of the brain helps the brain to coordinate and integrate the various sensory information and increases the processing speed of the brain, enabling learning. Gentle chiropractic treatments could adjust the spine, allowing information to travel freely to the brain. Cranial treatments by a qualified chiropractor can adjust cranial faults that could affect the cerebellum.

If you are concerned about your child's development, learning difficulties, or behavioral challenges, consulting a chiropractor who is qualified to help children can help you and your child. Your chiropractor will provide a health check that considers other factors such as diet and lifestyle and will help you to consider if a course of chiropractic treatments could help your child to overcome the learning difficulties or behavioral challenges.
