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.

Children with ADHD may feel constantly overstimulated. Imagine consuming a full energy drink in 10 to 15 minutes. They struggle to calm down, focus, or regulate their behavior.

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

By addressing nervous system imbalances, chiropractic care complements other helpful interventions such as therapy, educational strategies, and lifestyle changes.

Our Approach and What to Expect

Each child’s plan is personalized at Taylor Family Chiropractic. Age-appropriate, gentle adjustments use techniques designed specifically for children. Frequency often starts at one to two visits per week initially, tapering as improvements occur. Sessions usually last 15 to 25 minutes, depending on age and needs. We also provide home exercises, posture guidance, and lifestyle recommendations.

Many parents notice subtle improvements within a few weeks, with cumulative benefits over time. Regular monitoring ensures care evolves with your child’s progress.

ADHD & ADD Support Tips at Home

In addition to regular chiropractic care, these strategies can help your child improve focus, behavior, and overall well-being:

Create a Consistent Routine

Set predictable times for meals, homework, and bedtime.
Consistency helps children feel secure and improves focus.

Break Tasks into Small Steps

Large assignments or chores can feel overwhelming.
Divide them into manageable steps with clear instructions.

Encourage Physical Activity

Daily movement, such as walking, swimming, or team sports, can reduce hyperactivity and improve attention.
Short, frequent activity breaks during homework or study sessions help children reset.

Promote Healthy Sleep Habits

Consistent bedtime routines, limited screen time before bed, and a calm environment support restorative sleep.

Positive Reinforcement & Support

Praise effort and progress, not just results.
Use visual cues, checklists, or reward systems to reinforce focus and good behavior.

Tip from Dr. Taylor: “Chiropractic care helps balance the nervous system, but combining it with practical routines at home can create a calmer, more focused environment for children with ADHD or ADD.”
