Finding Effective ADHD Chiropractic Relief

 Chiropractic medicine focuses on the spine and the nervous system without employing medication. The spinal cord passes from your brain down through your spine, with nerves leaving the spinal cord along the way toward every part of your body. If there is a misalignment in the joints of the spine, it can cause compression and inflammation in the joints. It can also exert pressure on the nerves, causing swelling and discomfort, or pain that radiates into other parts of your body.





How do our joints get misaligned? Micro-injuries caused by the stress of daily life, lifting something that is too heavy, or lifting improperly and putting strain on your back, or car accidents or falls can cause joints to become misaligned. A chiropractor realigns the joints using manual adjustments, freeing the joint to move properly and releasing pressure on the nervous system. 








How Chiropractic Care can Help Children With ADHD




ADHD (Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) is characterized by an inability to pay attention to the present moment, the attention-related demands of other people, or to the demands of the educational environment. Children with ADHD also may suffer from hyperactivity and impulsivity.




A child with ADHD is more likely to have more problems in school and life than other children. They will also be more frustrated than they were before they attended school. The way these difficulties are handled can be very different from one school to another. In addition, many parents of ADHD children find it hard to get help. They may experience difficulty in finding satisfactory and effective ADHD chiropractic relief.

Does chiropractic care help with ADHD?


 

In contrast to many other diseases, ADHD does not seem to respond well to treatment with medication. However, a study has shown that children who were treated by chiropractors during the school year showed significantly fewer ADHD symptoms compared to those who weren’t. These results indicate that there are some positive effects of chiropractic care for children with ADHD.





Chiropractic and ADHD

 

Chiropractic is one of the many health care options available to those with ADHD. It is based on the idea that when a patient’s brain is functioning properly, they can be healthier than average. They may be able to avoid or reduce symptoms caused by problems with the nerves, blood vessels and muscles.





However be advised that the use of chiropractic care for ADHD is controversial, especially within the scientific community. However, in 2019 the American Academy of Pediatrics issued their most recent policy statement on the care of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, stating that the care of children who exhibit the symptoms of ADHD should be a clinical decision.
