Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a complex and often misunderstood condition, especially in adults. This mental disorder makes it difficult to stay focused, organized, and attentive. Those who have ADD often find it hard to manage their time, follow directions, remember details and stay on task. Common attention deficit disorder symptoms include hyperactivity, impulsivity, and difficulty paying attention. Unfortunately, attention deficit disorder in adults can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can mimic typical behaviors attributed to “aging”. Additionally, many adults are not aware that they are living with attention deficit disorder due to its discreet nature. If you think that attention deficit disorder could be affecting your life or the life of someone close to you, it is important to get professional help for an assessment and treatment plan designed specifically for this issue.

The effectiveness of acupuncture in treating ADHD, especially hyperactive and mixed subtypes, is relatively good, and post-treatment recurrence rates are low. Therefore, this type of treatment is effective for ADHD. Essentially, acupuncture promotes the maturation of the nervous system.

Our ability to concentrate & remember can be increased as well as our ability to maintain focus for longer periods of time. We can train our bodies and minds to remain still and present through consistent weekly treatments. Your body’s natural painkillers will be released during each session as different meridians are activated. Patients often report feeling heaviness in their limbs, buzzing, tingling, etc., during treatment. While you are still aware, these feelings allow your body to relax and drift into deeper subconscious levels. All levels of the psyche can be healed in this way.

The ADHD rate has increased by over 70% in the last two decades. It’s a direct result of all of the technological advancements we’ve made. The pace of our lives is fast and demanding, and we spend little time alone and thinking about ourselves. Our minds begin to guide us when we don’t learn how to properly guide them.
