What to Expect from Our Treatment Plan

Initial Consultation and Personalized Diagnosis

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to understand your unique needs. We take the time to review your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle, diet, and any existing treatments. Using diagnostic methods rooted in evidence-based TCM principles, we identify underlying patterns that may contribute to ADD and ADHD symptoms.

​

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your diagnosis, we create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific challenges and goals. Our approach includes the following:

Regular Acupuncture Sessions

  • Frequency: Typically 1-2 sessions per week for the first 4-6 weeks, then tapering to weekly or bi-weekly as symptoms improve.

  • Focus: Acupuncture points are carefully chosen to calm the mind, improve focus and emotional regulation, promote better sleep, and support overall health.

Herbal Support

  • Customized Formulas: We use safe, personalized herbal blends designed to complement the body’s natural processes and address imbalances contributing to symptoms.

  • Focus: These formulas support cognitive clarity, emotional balance, and physical well-being.

Lifestyle and Dietary Guidance

Research Supporting Acupuncture for ADD and ADHD

Acupuncture has been shown to provide significant benefits for individuals with ADD and ADHD, including:

  • Improved Focus and Behavior: A 2011 study in Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment found that acupuncture, when combined with behavioral therapy, significantly reduced symptoms in children with ADHD.

  • Stress Reduction: Research published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies (2018) demonstrated that acupuncture helps reduce cortisol levels, a stress hormone that can exacerbate ADD and ADHD symptoms.
