Autistic Children Benefit From Chiropractic Treatment In Orange County

I’m a full-time mom, mother of three, all aging under 7 years - a daughter followed by two sons. Two years ago, both of our sons were diagnosed with autism. Costa Mesa Chiropractic

Delay in learning how to speak, lack of facial expressions, and walking on tip-toes were specific issues we dealt with in handling our two boys. But then, we became more concerned with our youngest boy, Toby. While they are benefiting from chiropractic care, Toby seemed to need extra attention. He lately underwent a spell and was not able to communicate. On top of that, he has several sensory issues. My husband and I were in fear of losing touch with him and he seemed to be slipping away from us.

We called another couple in our parent group who had experienced the same thing recently and asked for an advice. They were the ones who referred us to Great Life Chiropractic in Costa Mesa, California.

Toby has gone from being totally nonverbal to having what we call a “signing vocabulary” of about 12 words, and he is now sleeping through the night. Many autistic children are unable to sleep through the night, so this is a major coup.

We were encouraged by Dr. McCowin to look at making dietary changes along with the weekly chiropractic treatments. Our bookshelves are now filled with gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free cookbooks. We have studied nutritional supplements extensively and, with the doctor’s advice, have implemented them not only in Toby’s diet, but in the diets of our entire family, with positive results.

Our efforts have paid off in many ways. She informed us that she had seen progressive results and asked us of the changes that had happened at home and what we have been doing differently. She showed us Toby’s recent class work and compared it to the previous works he had before beginning the treatments. Although they were subtle differences, we were impressed with the results.
