ADHD and focus difficulties involve neurological dysregulation that spinal and craniosacral dysfunction can worsen. Chiropractic care at Pura Vida supports better brain-body communication — without medication side effects.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that impairs daily functioning. While neurochemical factors (dopamine and norepinephrine dysregulation) are well-established, the role of spinal health in neurological regulation is increasingly recognized. Upper cervical subluxations and craniosacral restrictions can impair cerebrospinal fluid flow, prefrontal cortex function, and the brain's ability to self-regulate. The cerebellum — which coordinates not just movement but also cognitive function and attention — is directly affected by spinal afferent input. Chiropractic care that improves spinal neurological input may support better frontal lobe regulation and attention.
Dr. Foss applies gentle upper cervical and craniosacral corrections to optimize the neurological input reaching the brain from the spine. Improved cerebellar activation and prefrontal cortex input can enhance self-regulation, impulse control, and attention. Craniosacral corrections at the sphenoid and occiput support cerebrospinal fluid circulation, which is important for brain detoxification and optimal neurological function. Chiropractic care for ADHD is a complement to behavioral therapy and other interventions — it addresses the structural neurological component that medications do not.
At Pura Vida Chiropractic, Dr. Foss uses Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) — a gentle, category-based system that addresses the spine, pelvis, and craniosacral rhythm as one integrated unit. SOT restores proper biomechanics, reduces nerve interference, and creates the neurological environment your body needs to heal itself.
