As a board-certified chiropractic neurologist, I have a special interest in managing ADD/ADHD using safe and drug-free therapies. Here is a collection of informative articles that I feel will be helpful to those looking for a different alternative to medications. Enjoy!

A recent study came out that shows treating children who have ADHD with drugs is not effective in the long-term. In addition, the study suggested that long-term use could stunt children’s growth, and that the previous benefits stated had been exaggerated.

Fish Oils
Fish oils have been receiving a lot of attention in the media of late. And with good reason, considering that the average American diet is severely lacking in the healthy omega-3 fats, which are so crucial to your body.
