Chiropractic adjustments may improve cognitive function in children with developmental delay. These findings are from a stuffy of 157 youngsters, aged 6 to 13 years, with developmental delay syndromes.
According to the report, “the outcome measures were a series of 8 standardized psychometric tests given to the children by a certified speech therapist pre- and posttreatment, which evaluate 20 separate areas of cognitive function, including patient- or parent-reported improvements in school performance, social interaction, and sporting activities.”
“Individual and group data showed that at the end of treatment, the 157 children showed improvements in the 8 psychometric tests and 20 areas of cognitive function compared with their values before treatment. Their ability to concentrate, maintain focus and attention, and control impulsivity and their performance at home and school improved.”
