Abstract
Background: Chiropractic care is utilized in school aged children for a variety of health complaints, including headaches, postural issues, nocturnal enuresis, neurodevelopmental disorders, and back pain. Chiropractic care, with its ability to impact sensorimotor integration, motor control and the prefrontal cortex, could therefore potentially benefit school aged children.
Methods: In this retrospective case series, records of patients presenting for chiropractic care at an onsite school chiropractic clinic were reviewed. Patients underwent 12 weeks of chiropractic care and completed three questionnaires and two sets of neurophysiological scans. The data from these questionnaires and scans were combined, averaged, and statistically analyzed.
Results: One hundred and eighty records of children aged 5-18 years from nine schools were included in the overall analyses. Statistically significant improvements were noted in the 'health and activities' sub-section and overall score of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ and in the hyperactivity domain of the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire.
Conclusion: This retrospective review of case records from children attending an onsite school chiropractic clinic has demonstrated some changes in health-related quality of life following a period of 12 weeks of chiropractic care. Further research using a clinical trial design is needed to extrapolate the findings and to assess causation.
