ADHD Chiropractor in Sunset Valley | River City Wellness

Sunset Valley parents, we see you. Whether you’re grabbing groceries at Sunset Valley Village or picking up dinner near Brodie Oaks, you’re thinking about your child’s ADHD symptoms.

• The battles getting out the door each morning
• The homework meltdowns that leave you both in tears
• The phone calls from school that make your heart sink
• The feeling that you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to stick

You’re not alone, and you haven’t failed your child. At River City Wellness, Dr. Peter Martinez and our team understand what Sunset Valley families are going through. We’re less than 5 minutes from your neighborhood at 8708 S. Congress Ave (just south of William Cannon), and we’re here to support your child’s nervous system health as part of your comprehensive ADHD management approach.

Sometimes families find chiropractic care helpful as a complement to their existing ADHD management plan. We focus on helping your child’s nervous system work more calmly alongside their other treatments.

Why Sunset Valley Families Choose Us for ADHD Support

We take a gentle, neurologically-focused approach that looks at your child as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms. Working alongside your pediatrician and other providers, we focus on nervous system stress that may contribute to some symptoms.

Our Gentle Scanning Technology

Our gentle scanning technology gives us a picture of how your child’s nervous system is functioning. These scans are completely safe and painless – kids often think they’re fun games! We can see patterns of nervous system stress, though the relationship between these findings and ADHD symptoms is still being researched.

Incredibly Gentle Adjustments

Small case studies in chiropractic journals suggest potential benefits for attention and behavior with specific gentle care, though larger controlled trials are needed to establish effectiveness. We use incredibly gentle adjustments designed specifically for children – about the same pressure you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe.

Dr. Martinez has over 8 years of experience with pediatric care, and every adjustment is tailored to your child’s unique needs. No scary cracking or popping – just gentle, supportive care.

Understanding ADHD from a Nervous System Perspective

Some children with ADHD show signs of nervous system stress, though ADHD is a complex neurological condition with multiple factors. When your child’s nervous system is constantly on high alert, it can be even harder for them to focus, sit still, or handle emotions effectively.

Factors That May Contribute to Nervous System Stress:

• Birth experiences
• Falls during those early walking years
• Emotional stress
• Environmental factors

This is why we work as part of your team – alongside your child’s doctor, therapist, and school. We’re not replacing evidence-based treatments like medication or behavioral therapy. Instead, some families report improvements in sleep and stress levels when we address nervous system patterns, though individual results vary significantly.
