Van Every Family Chiropractic shares a case study on chiropractic and autism

Autism. A 6-year-old boy was brought to the chiropractor’s office with reduced social interaction, altered behavioral patterns, language deficits and learning difficulties. He was diagnosed with autism by a neurologist. The child was fully vaccinated.

Chiropractic analysis determined the presence of vertebral subluxations in the child. Chiropractic adjustments along with dietary and supplementation recommendations were advised. Over the 16-week period improvements in learning abilities, social interactions, language skills and behavioral patterns were noted. (16)
