ADD, ADHD, Autism and Sensory Spectrum Disorders:

We do not “treat” Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

However, since ADHD appears as a neurological disorder and chiropractic care helps reduce nervous system interference, many parents who want a natural and drug free solution for their child have found chiropractic care helpful and life changing for their child.

Common Symptoms

The classic signs that parents and teachers notice:

• 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

Understanding the Role of the Nervous System in ADHD & Autism

The nervous system is the body's communication center, controlling everything from physical coordination to emotional regulation and cognitive function. Misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, can disrupt the brain-body communication, leading to imbalances that may affect behavior, focus, and learning.

In children and adults with ADHD and Autism, these disruptions can compound challenges in managing symptoms like hyperactivity, impulsiveness, difficulty concentrating, and sensory sensitivities. By ensuring the nervous system functions optimally, chiropractic care can provide a natural, drug-free way to support cognitive and emotional health.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Vitality Chiropractic, we use gentle, non-invasive chiropractic adjustments to remove subluxations, restoring proper nervous system function. This process can lead to several potential benefits for individuals with ADHD and Autism:

• Improved Focus & Attention: Chiropractic adjustments help restore balance in the nervous system, which may improve focus, attention, and concentration.
• Reduced Hyperactivity & Anxiety: By improving nervous system communication, chiropractic care may help reduce hyperactivity, restlessness, and anxiety often seen in ADHD and Autism.
• Enhanced Sensory Processing: Many individuals with Autism experience sensory processing difficulties. Chiropractic care can help regulate the nervous system, potentially improving the body's ability to process sensory information more effectively.
• Better Sleep Patterns: Chiropractic adjustments may improve sleep quality, which is essential for cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

Nutritional Support for ADHD & Autism

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, Vitality Chiropractic & Family Wellness provides nutritional counseling to support individuals with ADHD and Autism. Research has shown that certain dietary adjustments can play a significant role in managing symptoms. For example:

• Reducing sugar and processed foods can help minimize hyperactivity.
• Including foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can support brain health and cognitive function.
• Removing food sensitivities, which are common in individuals with ADHD and Autism, can reduce inflammation and improve overall behavior and focus.
• Remove food dyes, preservatives and additives from the diet.
• Focus on natural, organic foods grown without pesticides or herbicides.
• Determine if an allergy involved such as dairy or gluten and eliminate.
• In some cases, eliminate all sugars and artificial sweeteners.
• Reduce the use of cleaning agents, detergents, fabric softeners and other chemicals.

Our team works with families to create tailored nutritional plans that address specific dietary needs and sensitivities, supporting a more balanced approach to managing ADHD and Autism symptoms.
