The research is definitely developing and over the next few years you will find more and more research on this. There is tons and tons of Neuroscience studies being developed as we speak and its absolutely fascinating! The bottom line is when there are weakness in the brain and nervous system symptoms ranging from pain and weakness to attentional and personality disorders can develop, its the way the human being functions, not something that was made up. Your Nervous System shows 4 major changes when there is functional weakness: Abnormal Sensations (ie pain, tingling, etc), Abnormal Movements Patterns (ie uncoordinated movements, shaking or tremors, balance problems, etc), Abnormal Thoughts (ie Depression, ADHD, OCD etc), and Abnormal Posture (ie slouching, scoliosis etc). Does your child have any of these changes? That is whats important here, not whether there is research to say its right or wrong. Clinical Results that are occurring on a daily basis in our office is what is more important that the “scientific” research that is usually biased to whatever is being research whether its a drug or a clinical treatment. The individual is more important than the research. Good luck with your child, If i can help in anyway please let me know.
