When it comes to disorders of childhood development (see left), parents are usually looking
for "
The Next Step" in caring for these conditions.  While most are not so much conditions as
they are collections of signs and symptoms, they are in fact breakdowns in the normal brain
function and neurological balance during childhood development.
While some children may have congenital abnormalities or traumas preceding their
particular syndrome, most children are relatively "normal" as far as objective medical testing
is concerned.  The abnormalities will be found in other types of testing such as academic,
motor, and nutritional evaluations.  This leads us to believe that, even though there is an
imbalance in brain chemistry, these conditions are more environmentally driven.
There has been a large shift in the way children are raised at this point in time.  With the ever
increasing number of diagnoses of these conditions it is hard to blame genetics, and easier
to understand the negative impact of our children's current environment on their development.
 Lack of physical activity, video games/computers, poor/refined diets, television, and
absentee parenting have become more prevalent - consistent with the sharp rise in
diagnoses.
While medications may provide relief of the signs and symptoms of these conditions, they do
not truly address the underlying environmental issues.  More and more, parents are looking
for alternative ways to affect these problems with lasting results through physical, nutritional
and academic approaches.
At
Hampton Chiropractic & Wellness Center we understand the need for alternative
treatments for these sensitive issues.  That is why we have designed "
The Next Step"
program for childhood development.  This is a multi-system approach to positively affecting
brain function through the following methods:  Functional Nutrition- to address metabolic
health and fuel delivery, Chiropractic Neurology- for neurological and structural balance,
Interactive Metronome training - for focus, attention, timing, and coordination.  Other
adjunctive procedures and home treatments will be given based on individual needs.
