Adults with Autism Get Benefits from Chiropractic Care

Posted: September 6, 2024
By: Dr Rubin & Sarah-Cathryn Snell

Chiropractic care can offer valuable support for adults with autism by utilizing a gentle approach that helps to balance and optimize the nervous system. For many individuals on the autism spectrum, sensory processing challenges and heightened sensitivity can be significant concerns. Chiropractic adjustments aim to improve spinal alignment and nervous system function, which can, in turn, influence the body’s ability to manage sensory input more effectively. By focusing on gentle, targeted adjustments, chiropractors work to reduce stress on the nervous system, which may help individuals experience a greater sense of calm and improved overall well-being.

Chiropractic care often includes techniques that are tailored to be non-invasive and sensitive to individual needs. Dr. Rubin’s method stands out in this regard. He employs gentle pressure adjustments and a specialized tool known as the “Activator” to deliver precise and comfortable adjustments. This customized approach helps reduce discomfort while enhancing the nervous system’s capacity for self-regulation. For adults with autism, this can lead to better stress management, improved sleep, and more stable emotional regulation, ultimately enhancing overall quality of life.

Numerous articles have demonstrated the effectiveness of chiropractic care for adults with autism. One notable case study involved two patients: a 20-year-old and a 17-year-old. Both individuals exhibited aggressive behavior towards others and engaged in self-harm. After undergoing weekly chiropractic adjustments for five months, both patients showed significant improvements. The chiropractic care led to reductions in aggressive behavior and self-abuse, as well as enhanced social interaction.
