ADHD, Adulthood, and Acupuncture: Is It Right For You?

ADHD is a group of behavioral symptoms characterized by inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. These symptoms can be seen in early childhood, but quite often carry over into our adult life. Our adult symptoms typically have less bouts of hyperactivity, but the inattentiveness grows exponentially as we get older, leading to an increase in the dependence on stimulants to be able to function properly. 

Chinese medicine treats ADHD as an imbalance of the body-mind connection. At the Acupuncture & Holistic Health Center, we don’t treat your ADHD symptomatically. Five Element diagnosis and treatment addresses the root cause of this condition. 

There is a growing body of evidence that says that ADHD in adults can be reduced through the application of acupuncture. Not only that, but the evidence also says that with a course of acupuncture treatment, the dependence on stimulants such as Adderall or Ritalin also goes down over time. Improved focus and mental acuity at work, decreased nervous energy and any associated anxiety, and increased productivity are all positive side effects of using acupuncture to relieve ADHD. 

When combined with herbal remedies and holistic supplements, acupuncture for ADHD can help you cope, deal, and reduce your ADHD symptoms in order to live a fuller life free of prescription stimulants and whatever long-term side effects may be complicating your diagnosis.
