ADD stands for Attention Deficit Disorder. It is often seen as a form of ADHD, but without the visible hyperactivity. People with ADD are usually not hyperactive; instead, they are easily distracted, dreamy, or have difficulty maintaining focus and staying organized.
As a result, ADD is often recognized later, especially in children who show calm behavior but still experience learning difficulties.
How can ADD present itself?
Common characteristics include:
- difficulty concentrating
- being easily distracted
- slow information processing
- difficulty planning and organizing
- fatigue or a head that feels full
Because the symptoms are less noticeable, they are sometimes incorrectly seen as laziness or disinterest.
The connection with the nervous system
With ADD as well, the way stimuli are processed in the nervous system plays an important role. When coordination between the body and brain is not optimal, it can affect attention and information processing.
That is why the chiropractic approach looks at the function of the spine, the balance system, and brain activity.
Support for ADD
At Chiropractie Blaauw, we look at the whole picture. Depending on the situation, support may include chiropractic care, neurofeedback, and exercises aimed at focus, timing, and sensory processing.
The goal is to support concentration and mental calm.
