Common Causes of ADHD
Understanding the root cause of your child’s ADHD is essential for effective treatment. Through our comprehensive evaluation, we commonly identify these underlying factors:
- Spinal Misalignments: Structural shifts in the upper cervical spine interfere with nervous system communication and brain function
- Birth Trauma: Delivery complications can create spinal stress that affects neurological development and attention regulation
- Poor Posture Habits: Forward head posture from screen time reduces blood flow to the brain and impacts focus
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins compromise neurotransmitter production and brain health
- Sleep Disruption: Structural imbalances can affect sleep quality, leading to attention and behavioral challenges
- Environmental Toxins: Chemical exposure during development may contribute to nervous system dysfunction and ADHD symptoms
One research study has delved into chiropractic care for children with ADHD and its effectiveness.
"Dr. Matt is very knowledgeable and truly listens to my concerns. Jen also adds to the experience, making it a warm, family-friendly environment where my kids feel welcomed and loved (and never leave without a snack and some stickers).
Every visit feels like a step toward better health, and the atmosphere is truly supportive. So grateful!"

"I am VERY skeptical of chiropractors. Opinion: chiropractic is like life insurance; fantastic tool with really poor delivery mechanisms.
That's not the case here. Matt is genuine, authentic, and extremely professional. He and his wife Jen run their business with integrity. They focus on education, community, function, and performance. THANK YOU for restoring my faith in chiropractic care!!"

Our gentle, child-friendly approach provides safe, natural support that helps to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. We recommend scheduling your complimentary consultation if you experience:
- Academic Struggles: Difficulty completing homework, following instructions, or maintaining grades despite intelligence
- Behavioral Outbursts: Frequent meltdowns, impulsive actions, or inability to sit still during normal activities
- Sleep Problems: Trouble falling asleep, restless nights, or frequent waking that affects daytime behavior
- Social Challenges: Difficulty making friends, interrupting conversations, or problems with turn-taking
- Medication Concerns: Experiencing side effects or wanting to explore natural alternatives to pharmaceutical options
- Family Stress: Daily battles over homework, chores, or basic tasks that strain family relationships
Our comprehensive evaluation identifies underlying structural causes while ensuring your child’s comfort throughout the process.
“When we're adjusting a child, it's not that we're treating the ADHD, we're helping their nervous system to perceive their internal and external environment at a much higher level."
And by helping them regulate their nervous system better, we see a symptomatic improvement in many of the children in our practice.”
