Hi J.

Our daughter does not have adhd, add or aspergers. However, she gets outstanding care with Dr. Ginger Dunivan and Acorn Chiropractic in St. Paul - Grand Ave area. Ginger works a lot with kids. I spoke to her yesterday about your question and she said CST has been helpful for a number of kids she has worked with. ###-###-####
She also has a website www.acornchiro.com that includes information about one of her specialties, pediatrics. She is very gentle in her approach. None of the bone cracking. Uses direct pressure, movements more often. Has great toys for the kids to play with while she is working on them. Does quite a bit of the work while I have my hand on Sarah. It's pretty fascinating.

Good luck.

My daughter is not being treated for the things you are asking about, but she gets cranial sacral therapy 2x a week and she no longer has seizures. She is more alert and responsive and has a lesser tendency to get sick when put together with regular adjustments. She loves getting it done and she just lays there still and smiley until it is done. My husband and I are so happy to have found out about it. When she does get sick, both the cranial sacral therapy and the adjustment together almost immediately improves how she feels. I definitely recommend it by our experiences. We see Dr. Melissa Millner at Millner Family Chiropractic in Hastings

Hi J.. I'm a lactation consultant (amongst other things) and a mom of an almost 4 yo. I think there is good evidence that cs work is helpful for a myriad of central nervous system and other issues. There appear to be little to no risk for this gentle body work. My daughter (who has not been diagnosed ) benefited from it tremendously- it manifested in a number of changes that indicated it was helpful. We go to Dr. Sarah Chambers at Crocus Hill Health Center in St. Paul. Best wishes to you!

we do biofeedback therapy through our chiropractor's office for misc. things with my children. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! He got started in it because his daughter has ADHD--completely different child now that she does the biofeedback therapy.

good luck.
