Can Chiropractic complicate or make tics worse?

[81lumberjack]

Our son has scoliosis (12%). Chiropractor, who uses corective chiropractic techniques, says this is the stage scoliosis that is very correctable. Do chiropractic now, before it gets any worse.

 

Question is does anyone have a feel for whether the chirpractic intended for the scoliosis will complicate or make tics/ocd/possible pandas worse or better?

 

Thanks

hello

we have found that for both my son and my husband, chiropractic is beneficial to them and has never made their TS tics worse.

I stress TS as that is all I can speak for...other tics have different causes and so I dont know the effect of chiropractic on them

My DS has been to two different Chiropractors and I have not seen a direct link with adjustments and tics. Actually when he went to the first one and would be somewhat crabby he would also be more mellow afterward. Honestly in your situation I can not see how going to a chiropractor would make anything worse.

Hi, I just recently asked my environmental dr about this as it is on my list of things to try. He said that absolutely it can be beneficial. He said that the first thing they learned in school was that if the core or spine, is out of line, everything in the body can be "off". You never know what or how it's going to affect the rest of the body. We haven't tried it for my son yet, but after listening to the dr, we will definitely give it a try. I don't think it will hurt or make anything worse if you go to an experienced, well-respected chiro. I would ask around before just making an appt with anyone.

 

Best wishes,
