Suggest Treatment For Hyperactivity In A Child

Hello, I am mother of 4th grade almost 10 years old son. He had a hard time associating with his peers at church. One time I observed my son s obnoxious behavior, which is annoying to them. He doesn t seem to run like an average kid does. I don t know if his muscles are not moving in coordination. I saw him pacing a lot before getting ready for running for his team against other three teams. How can I help him with his hyperactivity here?
