ADD & ADHD Contributors

The nervous system is the foundation by which a child experiences their surroundings. It’s imperative that they feel safe, confident, and unhindered.

Every child that we see at intun ChiroCare who’s struggling with ADD/ADHD is experiencing some type of stress in their nervous system that is directly linked to their inability to focus, hyperactivity, and/or behavioral issues. Every child also expresses this stress differently.

When talking with parents, we have found these to be the top 3 stressors early in life that children struggling with ADD/ADHD have in common:

1. Mom had a stressful pregnancy

2. Baby having a traumatic birth

3. Baby struggling with the transition between the cozy environment in utero to an unsure one in the outside world

If you’re worried about your child’s health being less than ideal, we would love to connect with you to see where they may be experiencing stress, and then take action to allow them more adaptability and less stress!
