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.

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

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