It is common for children to have trouble focusing or behaving for extended periods of time. With so many new things to learn and explore, restlessness and hyperactivity can be expected. But for children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD), these qualities are prolonged and may result in behavioral difficulties like disorganization, forgetfulness, impulsivity and the inability to complete tasks. Although there are several ways to treat ADHD, some studies suggest that chiropractic care may be a helpful tool. Contact Walker Chiropractic today for more information on adding chiropractic care to your child’s ADHD treatment plan.
Chiropractic is a study of medicine that works to adjust and treat issues of the spine manually. Spinal misalignments may compress or inflame joints, causing discomfort that can extend into other parts of the body. Chiropractic treatment physically relieves the body of these stressors but could also help relieve mental ailments. Spinal nerves communicate information from the brain to other parts of the body, and vice versa, so interference can affect brain activity, too. A spinal readjustment may restore balance to your child’s brain and reestablish efficient nerve flow.
Because behavioral symptoms characterize ADHD, a chiropractic adjustment might be beneficial in opening message pathways to ensure your child performs to the best of his or her ability. Chiropractic care prioritizes overall wellness, so spinal adjustments and other treatment tools may be suggested to help you and your child navigate ADHD symptoms.
Although medicine alone may be effective for some, chiropractic offers an all-natural treatment without the potential side effects of medications. Contact Walker Chiropractic today for more information on how chiropractic care can be an effective part of your child’s ADHD treatment plan.
