Help for Autism
Every child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has unique needs, which is why we take an individualized approach to supporting their health and well-being. The focus here at Clear Chiropractic is on improving the nervous system in a welcoming and calming environment. We aim to help kiddos feel more comfortable and at ease while promoting positive changes in their overall development.
Understanding Autism and Its Impact
Autism is a spectrum disorder that affects social skills, communication, and behavior. Children with ASD often experience sensory sensitivities, repetitive behaviors, and challenges with interaction. Each child presents different strengths and difficulties, and we take time to understand your child’s unique experience to provide the best care possible.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Our chiropractors focus on the nervous system, which regulates behavior, sensory processing, and communication. By addressing subluxations (misalignments) in the spine, we seek to restore balance to the nervous system. This can help reduce stress on the body and improve how the brain communicates with the rest of the body. Families often report improvements in their child’s social engagement, sensory processing, and general comfort.
A Comfortable, Family-Centered Environment
We strive to create a safe and supportive environment for children with autism. We ask parents about potential triggers and what comforts their child so we can make the experience as smooth as possible. We also provide a prep book created by a child life specialist, designed to help your child feel more prepared and relaxed before their visit.
Patient Success Story
MEET CARTER
When Carter first came to us, he was nonverbal and had been diagnosed with autism, global developmental delays, and speech apraxia. He also struggled with irregular bowel movements, making daily life more challenging.
Carter’s mom had already tried several natural remedies and therapies to support his development. It wasn’t until they identified nervous system imbalances through neurological scans that things started improving. Carter’s speech began to progress—he’s now saying new words, which is a huge milestone for him!
Regular chiropractic care has also made a noticeable difference in his overall health. His digestion is much smoother, sinus congestion has eased, and his immune system is stronger. His family has noticed fewer colds and flu, which has been such a relief.
Sleep, which was once a nightly struggle, has also improved. Carter now settles down more easily and sleeps better through the night. His mom shared, “Carter has come so far. We’ve been able to improve a lot of his sensory issues.”
Calm the Perfect Storm
Many kids with ASD have experienced stressors early in life, which can affect their nervous system. Our chiropractic care is aimed at calming this “Perfect Storm” of neurological disruptions, helping to support their overall development and well-being.
If your child has autism, schedule an appointment today. We want to help your little one thrive by providing gentle, tailored chiropractic care that supports their overall well-being and comfort.
