Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects millions of children worldwide, often impacting focus, behavior, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. While traditional approaches like behavioral therapy and medication remain central to care, many parents are exploring complementary options to support their child’s development—one of which is chiropractic care.
The Brain-Body Connection
Chiropractic care focuses on the spine and nervous system, which play a vital role in how the brain communicates with the body. Misalignments in the spine (known as subluxations) can interfere with this communication, potentially affecting mood, concentration, and sensory processing.
By gently correcting these misalignments, chiropractic adjustments may help restore balance to the nervous system—supporting better regulation of attention, behavior, and stress responses.
What Does This Mean for Children with ADHD?
While chiropractic care is not a treatment or cure for ADHD, it may offer supportive benefits that complement other therapies:
- Improved nervous system function
Adjustments may help reduce overstimulation and support calmer, more regulated responses. - Better sleep and relaxation
Many parents report improved sleep patterns and reduced restlessness after chiropractic care. - Enhanced focus and coordination
A well-functioning nervous system can support better motor control and attention span. - Gentle, non-invasive care
Pediatric chiropractic techniques are specifically tailored to be safe and comfortable for children.
