Help for ADD/ADHD in Portage

cheerful businesswoman At Alfieri Chiropractic Clinic, we understand how much ADD and ADHD can turn an ordinary day into an exhausting one. Missed details, restless energy, difficulty staying on task—these aren’t character flaws or lack of effort. They are real neurological challenges that deserve real answers. Our team takes a thorough, neurologically focused approach to help uncover the root causes behind your symptoms so we can build a care plan that genuinely works for you.

We Start With the Why

Before anything else, we want to understand what is actually driving your symptoms. Using an in-depth neurological exam and detailed health history, we look beyond surface-level observations to identify the underlying cause of what you or your child is experiencing. No two cases are alike, and we treat them that way.

Techniques and Therapies Tailored to You

One of the cornerstone techniques we specialize in is Flexion/Distraction, developed by Dr. James Cox. In addition to Flexion/Distraction, we offer a range of supportive therapies depending on what your condition calls for, including stretching and strengthening exercises specific to your presentation, mechanical traction, ultrasound therapy, and electric stimulation therapy.

Together these tools help support neurological function, reduce interference in the nervous system, and encourage your body to heal and respond more effectively.

Your Home Care Plan Makes a Real Difference

What happens between visits matters just as much as what happens in our office. Because every case is different, we create a personalized home care guide for each patient. This may include specific stretching routines, guidance on how to sleep or sit to support your progress, and activities to avoid that could set back your care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can chiropractic care really help with ADD or ADHD?

Yes. While chiropractic is not a cure, neurological interference caused by spinal misalignment can affect brain function and sensory processing. By addressing these interferences, many patients experience meaningful improvements in focus and behavior.

How soon will we see results?

Every patient responds differently. Some notice changes within the first few visits while others require more time. After your initial exam, we will give you a realistic expectation based on your specific findings.

Is this approach safe for children?

Absolutely. We work with patients of all ages and adjust our techniques accordingly. Our goal is always gentle, effective, and age-appropriate care.
