How can Hyperactivity and Chiropractic help children and adults?
Attention Deficit or Hyperactivity Disorder is the most documented childhood behavioral disorder. It affects 3 to 7% of children in the United States; in Europe the figures range from 3 to 5% in children and 1 to 3% in adults. Find out how it can help if we join Hyperactivity and Chiropractic.
The most common medical treatment is the prescription of medications such as methylphenidate (Rubifen®) or antidepressants (Prozac®). These medications are dangerous, unpredictable, addictive and do not get to the source of the problem. Moreover, we do not know the long-term effects of these medications.
Many researchers, scientists and authors suggest that the increase of ADHD is due to numerous factors, some of them we can act directly and try to correct it so as not to aggravate the problem, or even solve it. Some of the factors that we can act on are:
- Dietary factors. Food additives, intolerances, allergies, ultra-processed foods, sweetened beverages, cookies and sugary shakes.
- Adverse effects. Long-term caused by medications. Both express drugs for a hyperactivity disorder, such as syrups, antibiotics, etc.
- Neurological factors. Caused by an interference at the nervous system level. What we call it, subluxations in the spine and what it does is to not let the information pass to our body and we have certain imbalances.
The sugar is identified as one of the main factors to AVOID.
And what can chiropractic do?
In hyperactive children it focuses more on subluxation, the interference of the nervous system.
Dr. Chiropractic works to eliminate subluxations, thus eliminating nervous system interference and allowing the child to regain normal neurological functions. In addition to paying attention to diet and avoiding toxins, chiropractic offers many families an alternative to harsh and dangerous medications for the hyperactive child.
