How Schaub Chiropractic - New York, NY approaches Tourette syndrome

The central focus of chiropractic care is the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. The goal of a chiropractor is to identify and address areas of spinal joint dysfunction, often called subluxations, to help improve the function of the nervous system. The nervous system is the master control system of the entire body, and reducing interference to it may help the body better regulate its own functions.

Because each patient's health history and body are unique, the specific approach at Schaub Chiropractic - New York, NY is always tailored to the individual. A thorough examination and consultation are necessary to determine if a person is a candidate for chiropractic care and what that care would entail. During a one-on-one consultation, the care provider can discuss the specific techniques that may be most appropriate for your or your child’s situation. This conversation is the best way to understand the clinic's approach and how it might apply to your specific health goals.

Patient Story: Reduction in Motor Tics in a Pediatric Patient

The patient received routine chiropractic care over a period of almost one year. During this time, the patient’s family reported a significant change: the motor tics became almost completely absent. Subsequently, the family shared that the child’s medication for the condition was discontinued. This decision is one that is always made in collaboration with a patient's primary medical doctor.

FAQ

Can chiropractic care cure Tourette syndrome? No, there is no cure for Tourette syndrome, and chiropractic care does not claim to be one. Chiropractic care focuses on improving the function of the nervous system by addressing spinal health. For some individuals, this may help in managing symptoms associated with the condition, but it is not a cure.

Is chiropractic care safe for a child with Tourette syndrome? When performed by a qualified and licensed professional, chiropractic care is generally considered safe for all ages, including children. Adjustments and techniques are always modified to be appropriate for a child’s size and specific condition. A thorough examination ensures that care is delivered safely and gently.

How might chiropractic adjustments help with tics? The nervous system controls everything the body does, including muscle movements. The theory behind chiropractic care is that misalignments in the spine can create interference or stress on the nervous system. By performing precise adjustments, a chiropractor aims to reduce this interference. It is theorized that a better-functioning nervous system may be better able to regulate itself, which could potentially lead to a reduction in the frequency or intensity of tics.

If my child sees a chiropractor, will they need to stop their medication? No. Any decision regarding medication should always be made in close consultation with the prescribing medical doctor or specialist. A chiropractor will never tell you to stop or change your medication. In the case study documented at our clinic, the family reported discontinuing medication, but this was a decision made in partnership with their medical team, not a directive from the chiropractor.

How long will it take to see results? Every person’s body is different, and the response to care varies widely. The single patient case on file for Tourette syndrome at our clinic involved routine care for nearly a year. Some patients may notice changes sooner, while others may require more time. A clear prognosis and expected timeline can be better discussed after an initial consultation and examination.
