How We Help ADD/ADHD
We can help you with ADD ADHD at our Chagrin Falls clinic.
Since ADHD
appears to be a neurological disorder and chiropractic care helps reduce nervous
system disturbances, those who want a natural, drug-free approach have found chiropractic
care and nutritional therapy helpful, even miraculous.
Typical Symptoms
-
Inattention, hyperactivity and being easily distracted
-
Difficulty concentrating and sitting still
-
Inability to control impulsive thoughts and behaviors
-
Easily distracted by noises and activities
-
Always moving—fingers, hands, arms, feet or legs
How We Can Help
-
Chiropractic: Pure and Natural
Hyperactivity isn’t the result of a Ritalin® deficiency! Instead, we look for disturbances
to the child’s nervous system. We almost always see problems caused by spinal distortions
in the upper neck.
In fact, this link between the spine, brain stem dysfunction and ADHD is common.
A thorough chiropractic examination can reveal noticeable spinal distortion. With
a schedule of safe and natural chiropractic adjustments, these often resolve, reducing
nervous system irritation.
-
Correct Neurological Switching
This is a term used to describe a disorganization of the neurological system and
is almost always found in one suffering from ADHD. To put it in laymens’ terms,
“one’s circuits are crossed.” We use specific techniques and therapies to uncross
these circuits. This vastly improves the ability of the brain to communicate properly
with the rest of the body.
-
Correct Right Brain/Left Brain Imbalance
Another main cause of ADHD we clinically find is a functional imbalance between
the two hemispheres of the brain. This is corrected through our targeted therapies.
-
Dietary Modification
and supplements are often needed
Food plays a major role in ADHD. We will teach you which foods to eat and which
foods to avoid and help relieve any sugar or sweet cravings. Be sure to reduce exposure
to the following:
-
Remove food dyes, preservatives and additives from the diet.
-
Focus on natural, organic foods grown without pesticides or herbicides.
-
Determine if an allergy is involved such as dairy or gluten and eliminate it.
-
Eliminate all sugars and artifical sweeteners.
-
Reduce the use of cleaning agents, detergents, fabric softeners and other chemicals.
These are wise choices whether ADHD symptoms are present or not!
