Attention Deficit Disorder and Chiropractic

Chiropractic care focuses on optimizing the function of the nervous system, which can have a significant impact on various aspects of health, including conditions like Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). 

While chiropractic care is not a direct treatment for ADD/ADHD, it may help address underlying factors that contribute to these conditions and improve overall well-being. 

Chiropractic Can Help Kids and Adults with ADD/ADHD Have More Clarity and Peace

Spinal alignment

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper spine alignment, which can alleviate tension and pressure on the nervous system. Misalignments, or subluxations, can interfere with the communication between the brain and the body, potentially exacerbating symptoms associated with ADD/ADHD.

Nervous system function

The nervous system controls and coordinates all bodily functions, including cognitive processes and behavior. Chiropractic adjustments may remove interference in the nervous system and enhance overall nervous system function, which can positively impact attention, focus, and impulse control.

Brain-body connection

Chiropractic care aims to improve the connection between the brain and the rest of the body by ensuring proper spinal alignment and function. This enhanced brain-body communication may result in better cognitive function, mood regulation, and behavioral control in individuals with ADD/ADHD.

Stress reduction

Chronic stress can exacerbate symptoms of ADD/ADHD and contribute to difficulties in concentration and attention. Chiropractic adjustments help reduce stress by promoting relaxation, releasing muscle tension, and improving overall well-being. By alleviating stress, chiropractic care may help manage ADD/ADHD symptoms more effectively.

Uncovering ADHD Root Causes

Chiropractic care combined with lab testing helps identify neurological and biochemical factors contributing to ADHD symptoms. This comprehensive approach addresses imbalances, naturally supporting improved focus and behavioral outcomes.

Lifestyle recommendations

Besides chiropractic adjustments, chiropractors may provide recommendations to support overall health and well-being. This may include guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and stress management techniques, all of which can help manage ADD/ADHD symptoms and promote optimal brain function.
