ADHD
The prefrontal cortex of the brain generates some of the symptoms associated with ADHD.
The prefrontal cortex is the ‘conductor’ of your brain and is directly involved in the regulation of:
Attention
Emotional Regulation
Learning
Motor Sensory Input
Mental Health
Immune System
Response to Pain
Social Interaction
Anxiety
And: Executive functions: • Inhibition of action • Execution of action • Planning • Memory • Initiation • Hypothesis generation • Cognitive flexibility • Decision making • Judgment • Feedback utilization • Self-perception that is necessary for effective and contextually appropriate behaviour • Intelligence • Stress response • Mental Health • PTSD • Schizophrenia • Bipolar disorder • Alcohol seeking behavior • Depression • Conditioned fear • Empathy • Psychopathy • Neurodevelopmental Disorders • ADHD • Autism
Have your ‘Brain Conductor’ fine tuned with Chiropractic care.
A recent study shows that there is a change of 20 percent on average in brain function of the prefrontal cortex after chiropractic care.
The way your spine works actually changes the way your brain works.
Many children with ADHD have disrupted sensory motor filtering.
Research shows that chiropractic care alters sensory motor filtering and multisensory processing. Therefore it makes sense that chiropractic care may help these children.
