Functional Neurology for ADD/ADHD: Optimizing Brain Networks for Focus, Attention, and Executive Function
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are complex neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by difficulties with attention regulation, impulsivity, and executive functioning. At our clinic, we apply advanced functional neurology assessments and targeted neuro-rehabilitation to identify the underlying neurological imbalances and help improve cognitive performance and behavioral control without relying solely on medication.
At Diagnostic Health & Injury, we focus on enhancing brain connectivity and regulation to empower lasting improvements in focus, behavior, and learning.
Understanding ADD/ADHD: Beyond Behavioral Symptoms
ADD/ADHD involves dysregulation in brain networks responsible for the following:
- Sustained attention and concentration
- Impulse control and inhibition
- Working memory and executive function
- Emotional regulation and processing speed
- Sensory integration and motor coordination
These issues are linked to functional connectivity disruptions in regions such as the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum.
Our Functional Neurology Diagnostic Approach
We use comprehensive, objective tools to assess brain function and network efficiency:
- Quantitative EEG (qEEG)
Identifies atypical brainwave patterns such as excessive theta activity or reduced beta waves associated with inattention and impulsivity. - Eye Movement and Oculomotor Testing
Detects dysfunction in visual tracking and attention systems critical for reading and focus. - Autonomic Nervous System Testing
Evaluates sympathetic and parasympathetic balance that influences arousal, stress response, and cognitive performance. - Sensory-Motor Integration Assessment
Measures proprioceptive and vestibular function which can affect motor planning and attentional control. - Cognitive and Executive Function Testing
Objective evaluation of memory, processing speed, and inhibitory control guides individualized treatment.
Functional Neurology Treatment: Rewiring the ADD/ADHD Brain
Our targeted, non-pharmaceutical interventions aim to do the following:
- Normalize Brainwave Activity
Neurofeedback and neuromodulation techniques enhance beta wave activity and reduce excess theta rhythms to improve focus and self-control. - Oculomotor and Visual Training
Exercises improve eye tracking, scanning, and visual attention—key for reading and classroom performance. - Autonomic Regulation
Biofeedback and breath retraining promote calm arousal states that optimize cognitive readiness and reduce anxiety. - Sensory Integration Therapy
Vestibular and proprioceptive exercises enhance body awareness, motor coordination, and attentional capacity. - Executive Function Enhancement
Cognitive training programs strengthen working memory, planning, and impulse control skills.
Why Functional Neurology for ADD/ADHD?
Traditional ADD/ADHD treatments often focus on medication and behavioral management. Our functional neurology approach:
✔ Provides objective brain function mapping to understand individual profiles
✔ Offers personalized, drug-free interventions targeting neural circuitry
✔ Supports lasting neuroplastic changes for improved cognitive control
✔ Complements other therapies for a holistic treatment plan
