Behavioral/learning challenges affecting your family?
Dr. Amy Spoelstra | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 13 years, 2 months AGO
Spoelstra Family Chiropractic has been serving Coeur d'Alene and the surrounding communities for more than four years and our office has now expanded to serve this area with one of the only sensory integration programs of its type in the country. The program is called Focus and our goal is to improve the lives of those living with behavioral or developmental issues such as ADD/ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, learning disorders or undiagnosed issues with impulsivity, hyperactivity or an unexplained lack of productivity.
Focus is an integrated, drugless approach made up of chiropractic, nutritional programming and sensory integration exercises known as neurological integrated movements. In a world where it often feels like the only choice is to medicate or do nothing at all, Focus is a new option. All three aspects of the program have been proven to improve the quality of life for those experiencing behavioral or developmental challenges.
We at Spoelstra Family Chiropractic understand that these issues do not equal "dysfunction." Many great thinkers, artists and athletes have achieved iconic success despite their diagnosed sensory integration issues. The Focus program can help you find your true potential without the use of medication.
We offer FREE informational meetings every other week at our Coeur d'Alene office. Please call (208) 667-7434 to reserve a spot at our next meeting. Space is limited, so please call today.

Focus on ADD/ADHD
You have been seeing the terms ADD and ADHD very often in our recent articles. This is due to the fact that our Focus program is now in full swing and we have begun helping children and adults in managing their sensory integration issues such as ADD/ADHD or patterns of being impulsive, hyperactive, inattentive or exhibit an unexplained lack of productivity.
Chiropractic goes beyond pain
Our bodies are amazing. Think about that statement. As you do, also think about the fact that you probably took a breath, blinked your eyes, moved a limb, moved your head, focused your eyes, digested food, healed a cut, wiggled a toe, salivated and a million other internal operations. Although you were not readily thinking about all of these processes, they were going on without the need for your input. Your brain, while also supplying you with conscious thought, is simultaneously orchestrating a laundry list of functions to keep you alive and well.
How's your resolution going?
As March moves in, the steadfast determination of many people to continue carrying out their New Year's resolutions is no doubt starting to fade. If you are still holding strong to the things you have changed in your life, bravo! If not, well, there's always next year, right?
