Clark Chiropractic, serving Burr Ridge, IL, offers care that emphasizes nervous system balance and brain function for individuals experiencing ADD and ADHD. These conditions, known as Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, are neurodevelopmental disorders that cause focus, behavioral, and attention issues in both adults and children. These symptoms can make school, daily activities, and job performance more difficult, leading many to explore different treatments.
​While therapy, medications, and structured behavior strategies are widely used, chiropractic for ADD/ADHD is being considered by many families and individuals as a supportive option. Through the correction of spinal misalignments that may disrupt nervous system communication, chiropractic care encourages better function and improves quality of life for patients at various ages.

Understanding How ADD and ADHD Affect Learning and Daily Life

ADD and ADHD are neurodevelopmental disorders identified by symptoms like impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. How these symptoms appear depends on the individual. Some struggle to stay focused or keep their environment organized, while others may deal with impulsive behavior and scattered thoughts. School often brings these issues to light, as students face learning and behavioral challenges that impact success.In adulthood, the condition can present as difficulty managing work tasks, sticking to a daily structure, or keeping things organized. Issues with executive functioning often lead to stress, unstable moods, and time management struggles. Because of the range of symptoms, treatment must be adapted to support each individual’s experience.

Nervous System Health and Its Connection to ADD and ADHD

At Clark Chiropractic, we highlight the connection between nervous system health and attention deficit disorder, particularly how it affects behavior, focus, and mood. Since the brain and spinal cord depend on effective communication through the nervous system, spinal misalignments may disrupt important neurodevelopmental functions.
Misalignments in the cervical region can influence brain activity, affecting concentration and emotional control. Research suggests that nervous system stress may play a role in symptoms such as impulsivity and poor self-regulation. Chiropractic for ADD/ADHD care is designed to support nervous system function and may complement traditional treatments like therapy and medication.

Ways Chiropractic Enhances Brain Activity for ADD and ADHD Patients

Chiropractic care aims to improve spine alignment, which supports healthy brain function and nervous system balance. Misalignments can cause added stress on the nervous system, leading to symptoms like poor focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in individuals with ADD or ADHD.Chiropractic for ADD/ADHD Includes Efforts To: 

• ​Promote clear communication in the nervous system to assist with executive functioning and emotion control
• Support posture and spinal alignment to optimize nerve pathways and blood flow to the brain
• Reduce nervous system tension that may be linked to anxiety and mood challenges
  

This approach may lead to better focus, more balanced thought patterns, and improved self-awareness.

Spinal Misalignments and Their Role in Brain Performance

Clark Chiropractic, serving  Burr Ridge, IL, evaluates the effects of spinal misalignments on brain function. The nervous system controls how we think, move, and regulate emotions, so spinal issues can interfere with attention and other ADHD symptoms.Misalignments in the upper spine may restrict proper signaling between the brain and body. Correcting these misalignments can improve brain function and offer support for individuals dealing with attention and hyperactivity challenges.

Helping Patients with ADD and ADHD Through Chiropractic Techniques

Chiropractic for ADD/ADHD includes careful spinal adjustments and supportive care aimed at improving nervous system and brain function. This approach includes:

• Adjustments that help stabilize nervous system communication and restore overall balance
• Postural reviews that help identify how alignment affects brain activity and attention
• Recommendations that support lifestyle improvements for better mood and symptom control
  

Our chiropractic for ADD/ADHD team works with patients of all ages to create treatment plans that match their unique challenges and individual care goals.

How Nutrition Can Support Mood and Focus in ADD and ADHD

For patients managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a balanced diet may support better brain function and emotional well-being. Many parents and adults use nutritional strategies to help improve focus and behavior.
These strategies often include:
Eating more foods rich in omega-3s to benefit brain health and cognitive function

• Avoiding artificial ingredients, added sugar, and processed snacks that may impact hyperactivity
• Drinking enough water and eating regularly to help maintain mental clarity and energy

At Clark Chiropractic, we offer support for lifestyle habits that complement ADD/ADHD care.

The Importance of Stress Reduction in Attention Deficit Disorders

Stress is a major factor that can make ADHD symptoms more severe, especially issues with impulsivity, focus, and emotional control. Managing stress can be a helpful tool for children and adults alike.
Techniques to help lower stress include:

• Practicing deep breathing and mindfulness to calm the mind and increase focus
• Staying active to support healthy mood and brain activity
• Creating daily structure to improve executive functioning and reduce stress levels

Stress management, along with chiropractic for ADD, can help individuals find more balance and focus in their daily routines.

I am very pleased with the overall service and results. I came in for chronic migraines and neck pain. Dr. Clark has made a noticeable difference in my neck mobility. There has been a huge decline in my migraine frequency and intensity after only one month of care. My neck pain is down to zero. Dr. Clark and staff are friendly and personable. They have been incredibly accommodating to my needs and schedule. My husband is seeing Dr. Clark now as well for his back pain and mobility, due to the satisfaction of service I've received."  - Taylor C.

I'm happy to have found a doctor who truly cares about his patients and the community. I spend 8+ hours a day sitting at a desk looking at a computer and have regularly had neck, back and shoulder pain. Dr. Clark listens to my concerns and I like his approach to improving my health. For the first time in years, I don’t have daily pain. Several members of my extended family also go to see Dr. Clark and his care is tailored to each of our needs—not the same treatment for everyone as I’ve witnessed in other practices. He and his staff are always friendly and accommodating to my schedule. Dr. Clark is more than a good chiropractor - he is a kind person regularly giving back to the local school district and community."  - Carol T.

Dr. Clark is amazing! I look forward to my adjustment every week. Dr. Clark has completely eliminated my chronic neck pain and has really improved the flexibility in my neck and back. I was considering surgery for my knee until Dr. Clark gave me a series of exercises that have strengthened my knee and decreased my pain. I would recommend Clark Chiropractic to anyone suffering from neck, back or joint pain. Dr. Clark gets results!"  - Larry B.

I've been a patient of Dr. Clark for a couple of years now, and I can't say enough good things about him. He's personable, experienced and sympathetic to the needs of his patients. I had experienced trauma to my back last year and could barely move my neck without extreme pain. He helped me get through it in a few weeks. I thought the pain would never end, and he was my life-saver. I highly recommend him. He's great!"  - Joy C.
