Purpose of study: The case study is to report the improvement of an 11 year old boy with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and neck pain utilizing the NUCCA Upper Cervical Chiropractic Technique, neurological exercises and nutritional support.

Clinical Features: An 11 year old male presented with primary health concerns of ADHD with noted difficulties in concentration, completion of schoolwork, preparation for tests and reading comprehension. The patient also presented with daily neck pain for 3 years since having his head physically twisted by a teacher attempting to get him to pay attention in class.
