ADD/ADHD 

A Gentle, Rooted Approach for Focus, Regulation, and Resilience

At Scottsdale Family Acupuncture, we understand the weight that attention and focus challenges can carry—for children, parents, and entire families.
You’re not looking for a quick fix. You’re looking for a way to help your child thrive—naturally, safely, and in alignment with how they were made.

We offer a comprehensive, drug-free approach to supporting ADD and ADHD, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and informed by both clinical wisdom and compassion.

We believe the body is designed to heal. With the right support, focus can return, energy can balance, and calm can grow.

What Your Family Can Expect

Step 1: Rooted Listening & Diagnosis

Your journey begins with a thoughtful consultation. We take time to understand your child’s (or your own) full story—medical history, current symptoms, environment, routines, and sensitivities.

Using classical Chinese medicine diagnostics, we identify underlying patterns that may be affecting attention, regulation, or emotional balance.

Step 2: A Personalized, Gentle Treatment Plan

Acupuncture Sessions

  • Frequency: Typically 1–2 times per week for 4–6 weeks, then tapering

  • Focus: Calm the nervous system, sharpen focus, improve sleep, reduce emotional reactivity

Note: Treatments are gentle, tailored to the child, and often relaxing—even for those who are sensitive.

Herbal Medicine 

  • Custom blends to support clarity, calm, digestion, and sleep

  • Always safe, clean, and age-appropriate

Lifestyle Support

  • Food guidance that stabilizes blood sugar and calms the system

  • Gentle structure, rhythm, movement, and rest

  • Optional spiritual integration: prayer, breathwork, or calming rituals

Ongoing Care & Encouragement

Healing takes time—but you won’t walk it alone.
We provide consistent care, encouragement, and gentle adjustments to meet your child (or yourself) exactly where they are. Each step is tracked and supported.

What Families Often Notice

Short-Term

  • Less hyperactivity, more calm

  • Better sleep and fewer meltdowns

Mid-Term

  • Improved concentration and classroom focus

  • Fewer mood swings and emotional outbursts

Long-Term

  • Greater self-regulation

  • A more peaceful home rhythm

  • Confidence—both for the child and for you as a parent

The Research Behind the Medicine

Clinical studies show that acupuncture supports children with ADD/ADHD by:

  • Reducing cortisol (stress hormone)

  • Enhancing focus and behavior when paired with other therapies

  • Supporting natural emotional regulation and calmer nervous system states

This isn’t just holistic—it’s whole-person, evidence-aligned care.
