ADHD in Children: Understanding the Root Causes and Drug-Free Management

Dear Parents,

If your child is grappling with ADHD, whether officially diagnosed or not, and whether they are on medication or not, know that you're not alone. ADHD affects 6 million children in the United States, with over 4 million on medication, which may lead to harmful short-term and long-term side effects.

Let's dive into the fundamental causes of ADHD, exploring its neurology, chemistry, and physiology, especially for parents seeking alternatives to medication. Affectionately, we refer to our ADHD kids as "Raging Bulls" due to their abundant energy and drive, cherishing their unique personalities. If this resonates with you, you're in the right place.

We'll examine the origins of ADHD and how it can be transformed into a superpower for your child. We'll address associated challenges, including sleep difficulties, emphasizing the crucial message that your child's ADHD can be harnessed into a superpower without relying on medication.

It's essential to dispel outdated medical theories about ADHD and focus on its true neurological roots. Interestingly, there is no medical test for ADHD, yet 6 million children are diagnosed, and 4 million are medicated based on unproven genetic and chemical imbalance theories. Here, Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic steps in, challenging the notion that genetics or chemistry alone drive ADHD. Instead, imbalanced neurology emerges as the primary culprit.

The genuine cause of ADHD lies in imbalanced neurology, involving an overstimulated fight or flight side and an underactive brake pedal parasympathetic side of the nervous system. Early-life stressors, from pregnancy to birth interventions, affect the brainstem and nervous system, leading to an overactive sympathetic system and neurotransmitter imbalance.

Contrary to common beliefs, ADHD is not solely attributed to genetics or chemistry but stems from imbalanced neurology. While chemical imbalances are present, they are secondary effects that don't address the underlying neurological distinctions driving ADHD behaviors.

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) serves as the air traffic control center, harboring the true root cause of chemical imbalances in children. Early stressors shape an imbalanced central or autonomic nervous system, laying the groundwork for what we term the Perfect Storm theory. The good news is that neurologically-focused chiropractic care can rebalance and restore the nervous system, awakening the "brake pedal" side responsible for calmness and regulation.

PX Doc offices globally have developed specialized care protocols for children facing neurological challenges, prioritizing addressing the root cause rather than merely treating ADHD symptoms. By activating the parasympathetic side through neurologically-focused chiropractic care, concentration and calmness can be enhanced.

The duration and frequency of the care plan depend on the severity and duration of the child's nervous system challenges, with a personalized approach tailored for each family. Neurologically-focused restoration chiropractic care, aimed at optimal nervous system function, is crucial for a child's brain and nervous system to function at their best.

If your child struggles with school difficulties, lack of concentration, sleep issues, and ADHD challenges, there is hope. Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic care can transform ADHD into a superpower, unlocking your child's immense potential.

Every child with ADHD possesses unique strengths that, when properly channeled, can become a superpower. While the world needs more "Raging Bulls," it's crucial for these energetic kids to navigate smoothly when required. Chiropractic care offers a drug-free option addressing the root cause of ADHD, regulating the central nervous system and, consequently, chemistry, physiology, and overall body function.

Explore more about this approach on our PX Docs website, where you can find an informative article on ADHD. Additionally, consider our ADHD test using INSiGHT scans, measuring the balance between the gas pedal and brake pedal, providing insights into your child's unique challenges.

Traditional medicine often falls short in understanding the chemical theory of ADHD, lacking a diagnostic test. Our offices are committed to delivering measurable results, offering an ADHD test to provide clarity. If you're ready for the next step, give our office a call.
