Dr. J.G. Moellendorf of Moellendorf Family Chiropractic Office discusses mew methods of ADHD treatment in Pathways to Family Wellness Magazine

Sturgeon Bay, WI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/22/2014 -- In a recent issue of Pathways to Family Wellness Magazine, Dr. J.G. Moellendorf discusses at length the importance of employing new methods of diagnosis and treatment in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that can help properly gauge and treat each condition with the right wellness approach. As ADHD is presently diagnosed in nearly 4 million children and is likely present in a larger number of adults, healthcare professionals must use the most advanced means available when diagnosing and treating this disorder as new information arrives. Traditionally, ADHD has been treated with the prescribing of powerful mind-altering drugs which may carry harmful side effects and affect quality of life for patients.

Since there is currently no singular, standard definition or treatment plan for ADHD, patients are at the disposal of whichever specialist they choose to consult, leading to the psychologist diagnosing a mental disorder, the medical doctor diagnosing imbalances in neurochemicals, a neurologist diagnosing brain dysfunction, or a teacher remarking on a perceived discipline problem. Attempted care of these symptoms from diverse perspectives leads to incomplete or even harmful treatment. Each therapy can see limited success in specific cases but tend to fail in overall application. In 1990, Dr. Kenneth Blum conducted research which found that the root cause for many ADHD cases is a malfunctioning in the system Dr. Blum referred to as the "Brain Reward Cascade." The basic behaviors that lead to happiness or satisfaction, such as eating, sex, labor and play, release the neurotransmitter dopamine into the nervous system, resulting in the "feeling" of pleasure, or reward. In those with insufficient dopamine production or transportation, the body demands ever-increasingly for the feeling of reward to be achieved. This leads to the hyperactive behavioral responses of those with ADHD.

Dr. Candace Pert conducted research which discovered almost half of the primary reward centers in the body are located in the spinal cord and spinal nerves, and Harvard Medical School's Department of Neurobiology discovered spinal cord neurons which project directly to the amygdala and orbital cortex. The transference of somatosensory information is conducted through these neurons, ultimately affecting autonomic, endocrine and behavioral function. If these core pathways are out of balance or blocked, the Brain Reward Cascade is interrupted and the person experiences Blum's Reward Deficiency Syndrome, which includes the exhibition of including ADHD. A vertebral subluxation may result in a distorted perception of the environment and malfunction of internal pleasure and reward receptors. Chiropractors often focus on the correction of vertebral subluxations, and this method of targeted physical treatment can provide vital improvements in the lives ADHD sufferers.

Dr. J. G. Moellendorf posts treatise on posture and bodily wellness as influencers in the appearance and frequency of headaches

Sturgeon Bay, WI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/01/2014 -- Dr. J. G. Moellendorf of the Moellendorf Chiropractic Office in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin has published an outline of posture-related factors that lead to headache pain for both occasional and chronic sufferers, and how improved posture and wellness and the proper application of chiropractic techniques and technology can lead to a healthier body and a reduction in headache symptoms. Headaches cause a significant reduction in overall quality of life and are a frequent complaint heard by chiropractors when in consultation with patients. For many people, the intensity of their headaches leads them to the Emergency Room. Some headache medications have significant side effects, and some sufferers avoid or seek to avoid medication in search of less chemical impact on the body. Chiropractic therapy is commonly applied in these situations for management of tension headaches.

Dr. Meollendorf realizes that posture has an impact on the frequency and intensity of headache pain, since posture accounts for the development of other problems related to the nervous, muscle and skeletal systems. For example, poor posture is a key factor in the onset and persistence of cervicogenic headaches. Perfect posture cannot be the same for everyone, naturally, and therefore represents a goal rather than a strict blueprint. To judge posture quality, and determine whether one's posture is correct, viewing a person from the front would see the feet flair slightly outwards symmetrically. The inside arch of the feet would allow enough space for the first joint of an index finger, and ankles would line up with the shin bones, rather than rolling inwards or outwards. The knees will face slightly inwards with hips aligned squarely at the pelvis. Shoulders should be level, with the arms hanging freely, not rolled inward or outwards. The head should be level at the chin, not sulking or jutting. From the side, knees should not show hyperextension or flexing, shoulders should be aligned and level, not pushed forward or backward, and the head should not jut forward or downward.

As posture fails and the head leans forward, the body hunches and the rest of the body's muscles and bones need to compensate for this to maintain balance. This overcompensation in the shoulder, neck and back muscles leads to strain in that area of supplementation, which often results in headaches. Poor posture can also result in a host of other unhealthy bodily conditions, potentially reducing lung capacity up to 30%. This deficiency contributes to breathing-impaired health and sleeping problems. If left uncorrected, chronic neck pain and headaches can result from the pinching of the top three nerves in the neck. With a regimen of proper chiropractic adjustments, posture retraining and corrective care, as well as strength exercise training, a trained chiropractor can reverse the effects of bad posture and help reduce and possibly eliminate stress headaches.
