At one time or another, your child will naturally struggle with listening, following rules, sitting still, and controlling themselves. A lot of times, that’s just kids being kids—whether it’s a few extra trips to the candy jar after being told once is enough, getting distracted in school, or fidgeting during church. It happens. But for kids with ADHD, these behaviors are more frequent, intense, and disruptive, often requiring specialized support. While medication or therapy has traditionally been the go-to option, many parents are now turning to neurologically based chiropractic care as a more natural approach to managing ADHD.
We get it—a visit to your chiropractor for ADHD help likely wasn’t on your bingo card. Perhaps you’re skeptical, too, especially after years of watching your sweet kiddo face a constant uphill battle. But honestly, what do you have to lose? What if neurologically-based chiropractic care could address the root cause of your child’s ADHD—thus giving them the magic key to unlocking their full potential?

ADHD: Understanding the Uphill Climb of Daily Life
An estimated 7 million U.S. children between the ages of 3 and 17 have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, commonly referred to as ADHD. The CDC went on to state that boys are more likely to have ADHD than girls, and about 6 in 10 children have what is considered moderate or severe ADHD.
While all children can be impulsive and difficult to control at times, those with ADHD exhibit magnified versions of these behaviors. The result is a constant uphill climb in the classroom, home, and public settings. Your child doesn’t want to act like this, by the way. They simply don’t know how to control their actions. This can also lead to other struggles with mental health, their ability to socialize properly with other kids or large groups, emotional regulation, and self-esteem.
In other words, they may struggle to make or keep friends. They may also lash out at you, even over something as simple as what you made for dinner that night or your request to get up and get ready for school.
If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, the next logical step is to seek help.
But what if you don’t want them to rely on medications?
This Is Where Neurologically-Based Chiropractic Care Can Help
Neurologically-based chiropractic care is a gentle, non-invasive approach to chiropractic care that addresses the underlying neurological factors contributing to various physical, mental, and emotional issues kids experience every day. You see, your child’s nervous system is their body’s command center. Like yours, it controls and coordinates their movements, thoughts, and automatic responses to the world around them—things like breathing, blinking, coordination, sleep, heartbeat, etc.
This complex system tells every other system in the body what to do, how to do it, and when. But the nervous system isn’t immune to issues of its own. So many things can affect it and create imbalances. This includes physical, chemical and emotional stressors such as:
Birth interventions (C-sections, forceps, etc.)
Maternal stress
High medication usage
Combined, these can create neurological dysfunctions beneath the surface that can manifest as spinal subluxations. Medications might seem to help in some ways, but they are also likely just managing the symptoms rather than getting to root level issues.
A child’s nervous system works the same way as an adult's. With the gentle adjustments we provide in our office during their developmental years, we have seen kids overcome various chronic issues, including ADHD!
