ADHD Care in Colorado Springs
Families who ask about ADHD have often already been through evaluations and may be using medication, questioning their options, or looking for something that can work alongside an existing plan.
At Satori Spinal Wisdom, LLC, the conversation begins with the nervous system, not with trying to replace an ADHD diagnosis or tell parents what their child “should” be doing differently.
A Nervous System That Feels Scattered
When assessing children with ADHD, Dr. Siow often describes the nervous system as lacking reserve or feeling scattered and poorly coordinated.
Some areas of the spine may feel under-responsive, while others are unusually rigid or guarded. Although every child presents differently, she commonly sees a system that has difficulty organizing and directing its energy steadily.
Looking at the Whole Picture
Attention and impulse challenges don’t exist in isolation. The assessment considers factors that may be affecting a child’s ability to regulate, including:
- Poor sleep
- Diet and energy levels
- Ongoing stress at home or school
- Frequent moves or major family transitions
- Tension and coordination patterns through the spine
Building a Game Plan With Parents
Dr. Siow has held ICPA certification since 2004 and brings more than 20 years of pediatric-specific chiropractic training to her work with children.
Just as importantly, she sees the parent or caregiver as a central part of the process. The first visit is not simply about examining the child. It’s also about understanding what is happening at home, at school, and between appointments.
From there, the goal is to build a broader game plan rather than rely on one tool alone.
Working With the Nervous System
NetworkSpinal® care uses gentle contacts along the spine with the aim of helping the nervous system move toward a more organized and responsive pattern.
Highly active children are not expected to sit perfectly still through care. The approach is adapted to the child and may be used with very young or restless kids. Some children appear more settled or deeply rested during or after a session, which Dr. Siow views as one sign that their system is responding differently.
What Families May Notice Over Time
Parents may report that instructions land more easily, emotional reactions are less intense, or their child seems happier and better able to regulate.
The assessment also looks for changes in the spine itself, including better tone, flexibility, responsiveness, and overall coordination.
If a child’s presentation involves significant trauma, severe psychological distress, or concerns outside her scope, she refers to an appropriate mental health or medical professional.
