Chiropractic care has shown promising positive benefits for children with autism, providing a complementary approach to traditional treatments. One of the key advantages is the improvement in the neurologic function. Chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal misalignments. These misalignments or subluxations can decrease the nervous system’s ability to communicate effectively. For children with autism, brain-based chiropractic care can result in better sensory processing and improved motor skills. Studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care, combined with exercises to extinguish primitive reflexes, can lead to significant gains in coordination, communication, and overall behavior. These improvements can profoundly impact a child’s ability to engage with their environment and participate in social interactions, contributing to a higher quality of life. 

One article that discusses the positive effects of chiropractic care plus extinguishing primitive reflex exercises is Dr. Rubin’s article, “Combining Chiropractic Care with Extinguishing of Primitive Reflexes: A Case Series of 8 Children.” This study detailed eight children with various neurodevelopmental issues who received a combination of chiropractic care and exercises aimed at extinguishing primitive reflexes. Four of these cases were handled in a chiropractic university clinic, while the other four were treated in private practices. Each child had previously been diagnosed with neurodevelopmental conditions, and gentle, brain-based chiropractic care was given to ‘reconnect the disconnections’, while exercises were recommended to reduce retained primitive reflexes. The results were overwhelmingly positive, with seven of the eight children showing significant improvements. These improvements included enhanced coordination, better social interactions, increased independence, and improved academic performance. The study concludes that integrating chiropractic care with primitive reflex exercises could be highly beneficial for children with neurodevelopmental issues.
