Attention Deficit Disorder / Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) is commonly diagnosed when attention becomes a challenge. Most of the time, medications are prescribed to deal wit the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. While medication is a common approach, it often comes with unwelcome side effects and long-term concerns.
If you want a more conservative approach for you or your child who have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD then begin to think about what does an attention type of diagnosis mean, how does that happen, where does it come from, and how can you address it more holistically without having to rely on drugs and chemicals the rest of your or your child’s life?
Did you know that chiropractic care can be a natural and proven path to alleviate the symptoms of ADD/ADHD and other learning disabilities? Chiropractors do much more than treat back pain; they can address a wide range of issues affecting your child’s overall well-being. Dr. Brenda has been working with people for over 20 years for not just pain, but for other symptoms as well.
Dr. Brenda wants to understand what your body is going through currently (symptoms), the trauma it has experienced in the past (potential cause of the symptoms), and what you are currently doing to help your body.
Dr. Brenda chiropractor located in the Edinburgh area of Edina, has years in identifying and correcting spinal subluxations—the misalignments that can disrupt proper nerve function. These misalignments may be contributing to you or your child’s behavioral challenges and school performance.
The reason why, is because your spine surrounds and protects your nervous system. The first part of your nervous system is your brain. Brain function includes how well it is wired, firing, functioning, and healing. That includes brain chemistry also.
You or your child was not born with a deficient amount of Ritalin or any other ADD/ADHD medication in your brain.
Why is your brain expressing symptoms of attention deficit? These are questions Dr. Brenda explores in order to address the underlying cause of why you or your child have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.
Chiropractic care is grounded in the concept of holistic wellness, emphasizing the inter- connectedness of the body. When the spine and nerves are in harmony, the rest of the body can follow suit including the activity of the brain. Your nervous system is your brain, spinal cord, and all of the nerves that come out from your spine. It is electrical chemical energy that runs through your nervous system. Dr. Brenda checks the spine because your spine surrounds and protects your nervous system. After you receive a chiropractic adjustment, it helps the electrical and chemical signals in your body to start working better. The symptoms of ADD / ADHD is attention and mood disorders. Sleep may be affected as well along with daily functions of performing at school or work. Over the course of seeing patients for years, those that have these diagnosis and get adjusted regularly get the best results making their symptoms less life consuming. Along with regular chiropractic care to take care of the nervous system; there are other factors that are important to address in order to feed and fuel your brain and body.

1. Natural Diet practices: Eliminate sugar, preservatives, food dyes, and additives from you and your child’s diet. Embrace natural, unprocessed foods while avoiding pesticides and herbicides.
