Chiropractic Care Helps Attention Deficit Disorder

Appleton, WI: A study published in The Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research suggests that Chiropractic care may help adults suffering from concentration problems and ADD.

The study performed in Lausanne Switzerland used objective outcome measures to evaluate attention in 9 adult patients before and after 2 months of Chiropractic care. All patients experienced significant improvement in concentration and 88% normalized parts of their tests based on computerized evaluations.

The connection between attention, a process occurring in the brain, and Chiropractic, which is generally associated with spinal health, is not readily obvious to most people. The research emphasizes the direct link between the spine and brain activity.

Dr. Dan Thibodeau has been helping ADD/ADHD sufferers get relief for over 19 years. If you have any questions about this press release, please contact Dr. Thibodeau at 920-954-1002 or at drdan1221@yahoo.com

Testimonials About Activator Adjusting

I have been to many chiropractors over the last 28 years but none have used the technique that Dr. Dan uses in his chiropractic treatments. I have been one of his patients on and off for approximately 5 years and even though it is a 45 minute trip to his office; I would never consider looking for another doctor. He gets to the root of the problem very quickly and I always feel better when I leave his office. I have recommended him to numerous friends and those who have seen him always tell me how happy they are with their treatments.

Several years ago I was involved in a car collision. I began seeing Dr. Dan shortly afterwards for the injuries I sustained to my neck, low back and hip. It was amazing how much better I felt within a short period of time. The technique he uses to find the source of the pain is amazing and his approach to chiropractic treatments is totally different than any I’ve had before. No more twisting on the neck and thrusting on the back. His adjustments are virtually pain free. I am convinced that his treatments helped me to heal much quicker.

I have been a chiropractic patient for over 18 years. I started going to a chiropractor due to a car accident. Over the years I have been involved in four additional auto accidents. Chiropractic care has helped me to function in spite of my injuries. The Doctor has helped me along the way to recovery and his treatments have made it possible for me to enjoy life with my family. He has helped me with every pain from common headaches to the muscle aches due to fibromyalgia. I personally don't know what I would do without chiropractic care.

I was involved in a car accident in September 2003. I had severe neck pain and was advised to see a chiropractor. I looked through a list of chiropractors and decided to go to Dr. Dan Thibodeau. Dr. Dan uses the Activator technique which made me feel very comfortable. I am very leery about going to chiropractors who adjust using the cracking method, so he was my number one choice. I was seen by Dr. Dan for approximately 6 months. My health improved at a fast rate and I was released from care at the end of March 2004. He also showed me how to do exercises to strengthen my neck and back. The exercises showed me that he really cares about his patients. He is always friendly and always will go the extra mile to make a patient as comfortable as possible. Dr. Dan made my chiropractic experience a great one and I would see him again if needed.

What I Do In Our Office

Chiropractic
Chiropractic helps to correct irritation or pinching on the nerves in our body. Everyone has had an irritated nerve; an example would be a pebble in your shoe. If you get a pebble in your shoe and you continue to walk on it, it creates increased pain. When you remove the pebble from your shoe, you take away the irritation on the delicate nerve on the bottom of your foot. Similarly a pinched nerve can cause disturbance in the body. Spinal Adjustments can relieve pain and other symptoms in the body.

What is the Activator Technique?
The Activator Technique uses the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to find joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities. Activator uses a hand held instrument to give a consistent, low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustment. There is no twisting or cracking involved in adjusting the patient.

Physical Therapy
We offer several different therapies in the office to reduce pain, reduce muscle spasms, stimulate healing, increase spinal mobility, improve the curvature of the neck and to decrease pinched nerves in the neck. These therapies are used in conjunction with the Chiropractic treatment to get you better faster.

What is Allergy Elimination?
Allergy Elimination Technique, is a non-invasive, drug free, natural solution to eliminate or decrease allergies of all types and intensities using a blend of testing and treatment procedures from acupressure, chiropractic and muscle response testing. Usually one allergen is treated at a time. Basic essential nutrients/foods are treated during the first few visits. Chemicals and environmental allergens may be treated after completing the basic nutrients. Allergy Elimination can successfully eliminate or decrease adverse reactions to foods, outdoor items, animal dander, make-up, chemicals, cigarette smoke, and other environmental agents.

Nutrition and Contact Reflex Analysis
CRA is a simple, safe, natural method of analyzing the body's nutritional needs. A deficiency in any of these areas could cause or contribute to various acute or chronic health problems. CRA is not a method of diagnosis. It is a means by which a doctor uses the body's reflexes to accurately determine the source of a health problem. Many times the symptoms of a health problem are treated while the actual source of the problem continues to go undetected. For example, headaches are treated with aspirin; coughs are treated with cough medicine. But the question still remains. What's causing the headache? What's causing the cough? CRA quickly and accurately uncovers the root of the health problem and provides the doctor with answers for correcting it. There are approximately 75 known reflex areas on the skin which represent various organs, systems and glands. It is believed that when the body becomes ill there is an interruption of nerve energy to these reflexes. The reflex, when tested, will act similar to a circuit breaker under an overload. When the deficiencies are uncovered, an exact nutritional supplement can be given to help the body heal. Proper nutrition needs to be given to strengthen and/or support the problem area. A great degree of accuracy is possible with CRA. It will even uncover deficiencies at a sub-clinical level; that is when the problem is so tiny that the person may not be aware of it, and modern methods of testing may not detect it. CRA was researched and developed by Dr. Versendaal, D.C., along with an M.D., a clinical nutritionist, a dentist and a hematologist during the past 30 years.
