Pediatric chiropractor Dr. Zev Mellman addresses higher levels of ADHD diagnosis among children in Florida compared to many other states on his new website. Dr. Mellman has been certified in Dr. Edward Hallowell, M.D.’s “SHINE protocol for Doctors” that focuses on identifying and treating adults and children with ADHD.
For someone diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or who has a child with ADHD, Dr. Zev Mellman’s Florida office may offer a solution to help with this disorder. One look at the Center for Disease Control’s state-by-state map shows high levels of ADHD in Florida children–up to 13.9% (1). No specific reason is given for these higher levels, but Dr. Mellman is a distinguished pediatric chiropractor who received additional training specifically to make a difference in ADHD in Florida.
Dr. Mellman has been certified in Dr. Edward Hallowell’s “SHINE for Doctors” protocol. SHINE is a certification course for chiropractors that focuses on identifying and treating patients with ADHD. Dr. Mellman is one of Hollywood, Florida’s premier chiropractors and considered one of the top pediatric chiropractors in the South Florida metropolitan area. Dr. Mellman offers a unique chiropractic approach, helping his practice members achieve better balance and focus through specific calculated spinal hygiene exercises, as well as proper spinal alignment through corrective chiropractic care. One of the technologies they use to gain insight into children’s activity and nervous system patterns is the HRV test (Heart Rate Variability). This helps them establish a baseline to test against over time to achieve “measurable success.”
In a 2006 study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, researchers at Harvard Medical School determined that approximately 4.4% of adults, or over 8 million people, experience symptoms of ADHD. Dr. Mellman understands first hand just how people’s posture can affect the type of life they live. “Your spine is the core foundation for health, strength, focus and vitality,” he says. “Whether you are an NFL player, a child who has experienced a traumatic birth, or sitting behind the computer 8 hours a day, the effects of postural misalignments are the same.”
