ADHD Therapy in Colorado Springs

Living with ADHD—or parenting a child with ADHD—can be challenging and often frustrating. At Freedom Chiropractic in Colorado Springs, we offer natural approaches that address the neurological factors contributing to attention and behavior issues.

Looking Beyond Symptoms to Find Causes

Our approach to ADHD begins with understanding its potential origins, which often trace back to early development.

With ADHD, it all starts with the health history—the pregnancy of the mom. Was it stressful? Was it a tough pregnancy? Was it a tough labor? Was there intervention of any sort?

Stress during pregnancy or birth can trigger a persistent “fight or flight” response in a child’s nervous system, like a car with the gas pedal constantly pressed down. This state of constant arousal manifests as hyperactivity, difficulty focusing, and behavioral challenges.

Assessing Nervous System Function

Using our specialized INSiGHT scanning technology, we can precisely identify areas of nervous system interference that may be contributing to ADHD symptoms. We’re able to specifically determine where the interference is, where the area of the nervous system is that is stuck, that is creating all of this chaos and dysregulation.

This technology allows us to develop targeted treatment plans that address your child’s specific neurological patterns, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
NEW PATIENTS

Restoring Balance Naturally

Our treatment approach focuses on:

  • Gentle adjustments to key areas of the spine, particularly the upper cervical region
  • Techniques to improve vagus nerve function and parasympathetic tone
  • Strategies to help shift from sympathetic dominance (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic function (rest, relax and heal)
  • Support for parents in understanding neurological aspects of behavior

When you can really tap into the parasympathetic side of the nervous system through the vagus nerve and through adjustments in the upper cervical area, now you can start to get that child to begin to relax and regulate on their own.

Patient Success Stories

One of our young patients had been struggling significantly with ADHD symptoms. At a recent parent-teacher conference, the teacher asked what medication had been changed, as the child’s behavior and focus had improved dramatically. The parents proudly shared that they had actually reduced medications while starting neurologically specific chiropractic care.

Another child with both ADHD and severe behavioral issues was facing school expulsion. After beginning care at our office, his grandmother—visiting from out of town—was amazed by the transformation.

She noted his improved listening skills and, most importantly, his new ability to recognize when he was approaching emotional thresholds and self-regulate before having outbursts.
