Your first visit begins with a comprehensive functional assessment to understand your child’s unique needs. This includes a detailed discussion of their medical history, developmental milestones, and current challenges. We may conduct neurological, sensory, and motor evaluations to gain a complete picture. From there, we’ll explain our findings and recommend a customized care plan tailored to your child’s goals and needs.

Chiropractic care supports neurological function by improving the communication between the brain and body. For children with Autism, ADHD, or sensory processing challenges, gentle chiropractic adjustments can help regulate the nervous system, enhance focus, improve behavior, and support sensory integration. Our care is tailored to each child, promoting a calmer, more balanced state that supports their development.
Developmental functional neurology is an approach that focuses on the brain’s ability to adapt and develop through targeted activities and exercises. By stimulating specific areas of the brain, we can encourage better motor coordination, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. This approach benefits children with developmental challenges by addressing the root causes of their difficulties and fostering lasting progress.
Yes! Our care complements other therapies such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, or behavioral interventions. We believe in a collaborative approach and often work alongside other professionals to create a comprehensive plan that supports your child’s unique needs.
Nutrition is a cornerstone of our care. We evaluate your child’s diet and recommend changes or supplements to support brain function and overall health. Proper nutrition helps reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and optimize the body’s ability to respond to our therapies.

We use a combination of objective assessments, parent feedback, and observable changes in your child’s daily life to measure progress. Regular follow-ups allow us to adjust the care plan as needed, ensuring that your child continues to make strides toward their developmental goals.
The only side effects of our treatment is that you will notice that your child’s brain is starting to mature and get stronger. With that being said, sometimes it is difficult for parents to understand how the brain is going to change and therefore can sometimes look scary or bad, but in reality, it is good. For example, if your child has never gone through the terrible twos but is now the age of 4-5, expect them to go through the terrible twos as we work on developing and maturing their brain. We can’t skip over any steps in the blueprint of how the brain is supposed to develop and so in this instance it makes look like a bad side effect of treatment, but it is really a good sign that the brain is growing and developing. PS. Good news is that when we help the brain develop these stages of brain maturity are accelerated and the terrible twos may only last for a week or two rather than a year.
The frequency of visits depends on your child’s unique needs and goals. Initially, we may recommend 1-3 sessions per week to build momentum. As progress is made, the frequency typically decreases, transitioning to maintenance visits to support long-term results.
Absolutely! We encourage parents to stay with their children during the initial session to ensure they feel safe and supported. Your involvement is valuable, and it helps us provide insights and strategies you can implement at home. There after we encourage the parents to say in the waiting room to allow for independence.
We recommend comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement, such as athletic wear or casual outfits. If your child has any sensory sensitivities, let us know so we can make accommodations. There’s no need to bring anything unless specified during your consultation.
