Adult ADHD & Chiropractic care, continued:
Once diagnosed, those seeking an alternative or holistic healthcare approach do have options. There is a paucity of research on non-pharmacological and/or holistic healthcare interventions for ADHD in any age-group, but small studies have demonstrated positive results from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, transitioning to a diet higher in vegetable protein and lower in fat, supplementation of magnesium, zinc, and iron, Lactobacillus rhamnosus probiotic supplementation, yoga, mindfulness activities, and finally, chiropractic care.5-8 In fact, chiropractic care demonstrated statistically significant effects on hyperactivity and inattentiveness as compared to standard care options.9-10 When coping with ADHD symptoms, it is important to take a multimodal approach with a care team supportive of your individual needs and goals for treatment.
