What Is ADHD?
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that typically starts showing in early childhood, causing hyperactivity, lack of focus, and impulsivity. ADHD can affect children in various ways, depending on the severity or whether the child is male or female.
Boys are three times as likely to have ADHD and are more likely to experience hyperactivity and impulsivity as side effects. Girls with ADHD often have inattentiveness in school and seem withdrawn or anxious throughout the day.
ADHD Chiropractic Care Options
ADHD is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed neurological disorders because it has such a broad range of symptoms, and many of its symptoms are natural behavioral traits of young children. Many parents are wary of giving their young children pharmaceutical treatment – for good reason – and look for alternatives through chiropractic care.
While it is a hotly debated topic, it is widely proven that chiropractic adjustments have helped children manage symptoms of ADHD and begin living a more normal life.
Chiropractors work to improve the news tension and communication pathways between a child’s brain, spiel cord, and other regions of the body, allowing regions of the brain to heal and function as they should. Given that ADHD is a disorder located in multiple centers of the brain, chiropractic care works to catalyze normal brain functioning.
Benefits of ADHD Chiropractic Care
Many parents bring their children in for chiropractic care bi-weekly while weaning them off medication to see results. From our experience at Restore Chiropractic, children that receive regular chiropractic adjustments see improvements in school with better relationships with classmates, calmer behavior in the classroom, and improved grades.
Young children with ADHD experience a broad range of side effects from medication and stress due to their disorder. After a few months of chiropractic care, many children who once experienced nocturnal enuresis, poor posture, frequent headaches, seizures, and speech issues no longer have those symptoms or see their symptoms reduced significantly.
