Chiropractic and Attention Deficit Disorder Help in Frisco
If your child struggles with attention, focus, or hyperactivity, know that you’re not the only one searching for answers. ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) affect millions of kids, and often continue into adulthood. At Taylor Family Chiropractic, we provide natural, results-driven care to help balance the nervous system, improve focus, and reduce behavioral challenges.
Led by Frisco Chiropractor Dr. Mark Taylor, our family-friendly practice combines gentle chiropractic adjustments with practical strategies to help children thrive at school, at home, and in daily life.
What ADHD and ADD Look Like
ADHD and ADD are complex neurodevelopmental conditions. According to WebMD, ADHD is marked by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Symptoms vary by type:
Primarily inattentive type involves difficulty focusing, being easily distracted, and disorganized (more common in girls. Primarily hyperactive/impulsive type includes excessive activity, impulsiveness, and restlessness (often more visible in boys). The combined type presents a mixture of inattentive and hyperactive symptoms.
How Chiropractic Can Help
Chiropractic adjustments work with the nervous system, helping children shift from a heightened “fight or flight” state to a calmer, more focused “rest and digest” state. Benefits may include fewer behavioral outbursts, improved ability to follow instructions, better focus and school performance, and enhanced overall sense of calm and well-being.
Chiropractic care helps children with ADHD balance their nervous system, improving focus and behavior naturally. Every child responds differently, but consistent care often produces measurable improvements.Dr. Mark Taylor
