At Clark Chiropractic serving Willowbrook, IL, we approach ADD and ADHD by focusing on improving brain function and the health of the nervous system. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect both children and adults, leading to trouble with focus, attention span, and behavior. These difficulties often show up in daily life, creating obstacles in school, work, and social environments.
Although the most recognized forms of treatment include medications, therapy, and behavior management, many parents and individuals have turned to chiropractic for ADD/ADHD as a complementary way to manage symptoms. By improving spinal alignment, chiropractic care works to enhance nervous system function and help promote long-term well-being in individuals of all ages. |
Exploring the Daily Challenges of Life with ADD and ADHD
Symptoms of ADD and ADHD include inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, yet every individual experiences them in their own way. Some face issues with staying focused or organizing tasks, while others may find it hard to manage their thoughts or behavior. These difficulties often appear early in school life, where learning challenges and behavior concerns can affect classroom success.
For adults, the condition might show up in different forms, including struggles with work routines, managing time, or staying consistent with responsibilities. Mood swings, stress, and problems with executive functioning are also common. Because the condition varies widely, treatment approaches must be flexible and based on the needs of the individual.

Understanding Nervous System Involvement in Attention Deficit Disorders
Clark Chiropractic recognizes that nervous system function plays a central role in how attention deficit disorder impacts behavior, focus, and emotional control. The brain and spine rely on clear communication through the nervous system, and spinal misalignments can interfere with these essential signals, especially in neurodevelopmental conditions.
When the cervical spine is out of alignment, it may affect brain function, potentially influencing mood regulation and attention levels. Studies suggest that nervous system stress contributes to challenges like impulsivity and emotional instability, common in ADHD symptoms. Chiropractic for ADD/ADHD care can offer additional support as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy including medication and therapy.

Exploring the Impact of Misalignments on Brain Function
At Clark Chiropractic serving Willowbrook, IL, we look closely at how spinal misalignments could affect brain performance. Since the nervous system controls emotions, thoughts, and movement, even small misalignments in the spine may influence attention and hyperactivity.
Misalignments in the upper spine may restrict blood flow and nerve signals to the brain. Addressing these imbalances can support healthier brain function and help individuals manage ADHD symptoms with added support.

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.
