Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

(ADD/ADHD)  

 

SUMMARY:

 

ADD/ ADHD and other nervous system activity symptoms are becoming more common everywhere we look. Our children are suffering with their school work, social gatherings, and sporting events as well as inside the home with family. The cause is yet to be understood, but we have seen some strong correlations between brain and nervous system dysfunction as it relates to the outside environment - such as mobile phones, radio waves, microwaves, and other electromagnetic radiation. We have also seen food play a major role in helping or harming our children with sensitivities and allergies.

 

There must be a solution and noninvasive treatment for ADD and ADHD. There must be an underlying principle that can improve our children's ability to adapt to their environment, both inside and out. Aside from obvious - feed our children health whole food, clean water, and limit electronic usage. We found a noninvasive drugless treatment to help with ADD and ADHD. 

 

Below you will find research articles by topic. Our Boca Raton Chiropractor gathered evidence to demonstrate a drugless solution to ADD/ADHD. The fundamental treatment for ADD/ADHD and nervous system disorders as it relates to the research has to do with assessing the integrity of the spinal and its protective neck and back bones. 

 

We have found that your child's neck and back can shift out of alignment and cause stress to your child's nervous system. This can greatly affect your child's ability to focus, sit still, and develop as he/she was designed.  If your child has this problem -- Pain is not a symptoms -- a deficit in function is -- hence the ADD/ADHD diagnosis. 

 

If your child has this problem and it gets corrected by a Specific Chiropractor we should expect a positive outcome and lessening of symptoms.

Anxiety, Asthma, and Neurological Conditions

 

SUMMARY

 

It is growing more common to have symptoms of anxiety, asthma, and other neurological conditions, including depression, migraines, headaches, etc. We have gathered research papers for your convenience. Many patients are being forced to seek treatment through a non-invasive and drugless way. We are finding that our neck and back play a huge role in the symptoms of depression, headaches, migraines, asthma, and anxiety. Our body can shift out of alignment and stress and irritate our nervous system.

 

This subtle shift can contribute to a host of neurological conditions. If you have this problem - it is important to correct it by visiting a Specific Chiropractor. The cases outlined below demonstrate the significance of getting a spinal examination and an adjustment to correct the underlying condition to your health problem. Our bodies work better when our bodies are realigned. There are cases of complete resolution of anxiety, asthma, migraines, headaches, and other neurological symptoms be correcting the underlying dysfunction in the neck or back. 

 

Visit or call our Chiropractor in Boca Raton for more information on anxiety treatment, asthma treatment, and treatment for various neurological condtions.
