Dr. Burdman is a Straight ("pure") Chiropractor, and will explain this specialty and its particular application to ADD symptoms. He will provide vital information support group members need to advocate for and explore additional care options for optimum ADD symptom improvement. Straight Chiropractic can be used in combination and without interrupting other medical treatments.
The ADD Support Group says, some chiropractors see a wider role for the spinal corridor -- the backbone and neck bone; the 26 attached horizontal bones; the discs which cushion the bones; the hinges, or joints, which connect the bones; the sacs which contain joint-lubricating fluid; the surrounding muscles and ligaments; and the nerve-cell projection known as the spinal cord -- in overall human health. This includes mental health.
Some think that a distortion in one of the above can pinch a nerve, which can then send a faulty electrical signal upward -- and into the brain. They suppose that -- independent of any pain -- such errant signaling can cause cognitive or behavioral confusion. One form of confusion is ADD.
Might such neural "noise" be reduced by -- somehow -- adjusting that which abuts the spinal cord? Some would say yes. On April 27, we'll hear from a clinician who claims success in relieving ADD-type symptoms through spinal-corridor manipulation."
Another common explanation of Chiropractic treatments concepts are:
? the body has a powerful self-healing ability
? the body's structure (primarily that of the spine) and its function are closely related, and this relationship affects health
? chiropractic therapy is given with the goals of normalizing this relationship between structure and function and assisting the body as it heals
Dr. Darin Burdman has been practicing Straight Chiropractic for 20 years and has given over 100,000 adjustments.
He has had the privilege to treat Olympic swimmers, cyclists, and professional dancers. The special needs of the elderly and people in mental health settings have also been a focus in his work. Physicians, Psychologists, Physical Therapists, and Massage Therapists recommend their patients to his care. Yoga instructors and Athletic Trainers have also improved their clientÌs performance goals while seeing Dr. Burdman for adjustments. Dr. Burdman is a graduate from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, 1985, and he was one of the first chiropractors in California to see patients in a hospital research setting. He has experience in a TMJ clinic and as Director of a trauma center. Dr. Burdman speaks English, Spanish, and French.
