ADD & ADHD

The nerve pinches that result from a subluxation can interfere with the normal transfer of nerve impulses. These changes in normal functioning compromises the major organs and general health overall. The Innate Intelligence that our bodies are conceived with is interfered with and the result is disease and pain. At Swick Chiropractic Center they locate the problem, make a series of adjustments and gradually restore the body back to optimal health.

Subluxation can interfere with dopamine receptor functioning. The body is sending messages to the brain to release more dopamine to compensate or even correct the vertebral subluxation problem. Dopamine is the chemical that allows human beings to feel pleasure. It makes your every day activities like eating and socializing pleasurable. It is the body's natural reward system. But if this system is not working as it should people will seek "unnatural rewards" to compensate. These might be drugs, alcohol and gambling. Chiropractors return the brain back to proper functioning and proper transportation of the dopamine neurotransmitter.

ADD and ADHD are Reward Deficiency Syndrome disorder. People have a greater likelihood of developing these disorders if there exists decreased amount of dopamine receptors, which in turn, leads to an inability to handle everyday stress. The result is a desire to more dopamine or substances that increase sensations of reward. These might be a cigarette, a beer or a bag of potato chips or it might be a drive at 90 miles per hour. Adults and children who have ADD and ADHD have a tendency to be hyperactive and a tendency to be unfulfilled by everyday activities. The resulting feelings can lead to addictive or obsessive behaviors. To feel fulfilled requires more than everyday interactions and activities it requires self-medicating. Do you know someone in this position?

To achieve optimal health the spine must have no vertebral subluxation. For you and your loved ones to feel happy and content in your everyday activities you all need regular chiropractic adjustments. If left untreated the long-term prognosis is only a deterioration of the condition and an increased reliance on addictive behaviors, such as

  • drug abuse
  • compulsive eating
  • compulsive gambling
  • promiscuity
  • addiction to working

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) & Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) affects millions of children and adults. Symptoms of ADHD would be hyperactivity of the brain and activities, their brain has a trouble staying on one task and is eager to race to the next activity, ADD would appear in the form of apathy, spaciness or anxiety. These problems can get worse at school when the student exhibits untimely and erratic behaviors. This can also lead to problems with fellow classmates who will quickly describe the student as a poor learner. The student with ADD or ADHD will lag well behind his/her peers in social development.

The consequences of undiagnosed and untreated ADD & ADHD can be catastrophic both physically and mentally. As if failing in school wasn't bad enough, 35% never finish high school, but 43% of hyperactive boys will be arrested by the age of 16 and 50 to 75% of prisoner inmates have ADHD. The statistics all include increased marriage breakups, traffic crashes, smoking and drinking. These problems not only affect the individual but also their entire family and their community.

Chiropractic care has been clinically proven to have a beneficial effect on these disorders. A spine free of vertebral subluxation will release more dopamine and give the patient a greater sense of well-being. A spine with vertebral subluxation can only cause physical and mental distress.
