The chiropractors at Wills Chiropractic do not treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but we can help with some of the symptoms. Because ADHD appears to be a neurological disorder and chiropractic care focuses on reducing nervous system disturbances, chiropractic care may be helpful as a natural, drug-free solution for children and adults living with ADHD.

Common symptoms that parents and teachers notice in children with ADHD include:

  • Inattention and hyperactivity
  • Difficulty sitting still and concentrating
  • Inability to control compulsive behaviors and thoughts
  • Easily distracted by noises and/or activities
  • Always moving – this could mean fingers, hands, arms, feet, and legs

ADHD is commonly associated with children, but we have also provided care for those with Adult or Late Onset Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Along with chiropractic care, lifestyle changes can be made that may help with some of the symptoms of ADHD:

  • Removing preservatives, food dyes, and additives from the diet
  • Focusing on organic, natural foods that are grown without herbicides and pesticides
  • Eliminating artificial sweeteners and sugars
  • Determining if an allergy is involved (think dairy or gluten) and eliminating it
  • Reducing the use of detergents, cleaning agents, fabric softeners and other chemicals

TRADITIONAL ADHD TREATMENT

A popular approach to controlling ADHD symptoms is prescribing drugs with methylphenidate (commonly known as Ritalin®). Ritalin® is a schedule II controlled substance related to, and producing similar effects as cocaine and amphetamines. The side effects can include changes in personality and permanent changes to the brain and are the reason many people seek out a natural solution to help manage symptoms of ADHD.

CHIROPRACTIC: PURE AND NATURAL

Instead of treating the various symptoms of hyperactivity, we look for disturbances to the child’s nervous system. We often find 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, even a reversal of the normal neck curve. That’s why we often recommend safe and natural chiropractic adjustments to help reduce ADHD symptoms.

“I was driving from Denver to Illinois. I needed some work done on my right hamstring and glute. I called the day before I arrived and the front desk lady was so polite and pleasant to talk to. She booked me the next day with Rebecca, the masseuse. Rebecca was knowledgeable and genuinely cared about working on the spot I needed done. She was simply amazing. I felt 100% better. Highly recommend!”

Our Working Process

What to Expect

01

Relief Chiropractic Care

When patients come to us in pain, our top priority is to help relieve that pain so they can find comfort and feel better. While some patients feel relief in as little as one visit, it can take 2-3 visits per week for 4-12 weeks to achieve lasting real pain relief.

02

Corrective/Restorative Chiropractic Care

Muscles and tissues heal more completely during the corrective care phase, which prevents and reduces the risk of further injury. This phase typically requires 4-8 visits per month for 6-24 months depending on the severity of the issue.

03

Wellness Chiropractic Care

Once your body has completely healed, periodic adjustments become an important part of your healthcare regimen to avoid problems in the future. Based on your lifestyle and goals, we hope to see you 1-4 times per month.
