At 9 years old, Lukas was navigating autism along with anxiety, sensory processing challenges, toe walking, and frequent outbursts that were becoming increasingly difficult for his family. His speech had been delayed for years, but what worried his parents most was a sudden regression that seemed to happen almost overnight. They felt like they were watching him lose skills they had worked so hard to build and were searching for answers after feeling like they had run out of options.
After evaluating Lukas’s nervous system, we found significant stress and tension throughout his spine, especially in his upper neck and lower back. His INSiGHT scans also showed that his nervous system was under a high level of stress and struggling to adapt.
We created a personalized care plan focused on gentle neurologically focused chiropractic care, including upper cervical adjustments, to help reduce stress on his nervous system and support better regulation.
Over the months that followed, Lukas began making meaningful changes. He started walking with his feet flat instead of on his toes, became more comfortable during his visits, and no longer relied on his iPad to get through an adjustment. His parents noticed he was calmer at home, more engaged with the people around him, using more words, and showing fewer repetitive behaviors than they had seen in years.
Testimonial: “We felt like things were getting harder and harder, and we didn’t really know what was causing it or what to try next. Since starting care, we’ve started to see small changes. He’s a bit calmer, using more words, and he’s more present with us. It’s the first time in a long time we’ve felt some hope.”
