Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder affects approximately 6 million children and 4.4% of adults in the United States, making it one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions. Despite how frequently it's diagnosed, many people receive only partial explanations about what's actually happening in their brain.
ADHD occurs when certain brain regions responsible for attention, impulse control, and executive function don't communicate effectively. This dysregulation stems from imbalances in neurotransmitter activity, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine, which affect how your brain processes rewards, maintains focus, and regulates behavior. These neurological patterns develop through a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and developmental experiences.
Traditional treatment focuses almost exclusively on stimulant medications that temporarily boost neurotransmitter levels. While these can provide symptom relief, they don't address the underlying neural patterns causing the dysfunction. Neuromed therapy at Chiromed Wellness Centers takes a different approach by using neurofeedback and targeted interventions to help your brain establish healthier patterns naturally.
