Autistic Children Getting Benefits From Chiropractic Care In Orange County

March 1st, 2010 Posted in Anxiety and Depression

How would I start to convey the happiness I have found knowing our chiropractor, Dr. Candice McCowin, DC?

I’m a full-time, stay-at-home mom of three children, all under the age of 7 – our daughter, followed by two sons. Two years ago, both of our sons were diagnosed with autism. Chiropractic Care In Orange County

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. It soon became apparent that, while both boys would benefit from chiropractic care, Toby needed extra attention. He recently went through a spell recently where he was unable to communicate. Aside from that, he experience several sensory issues. My husband and I began to fear that we were losing touch with him.

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

Toby improved from being nonverbal to making “signing vocabulary” of around 12 words and he can now sleep through the night. Since many autistic children do not sleep through the night, we consider this as a major coup.

We were encouraged by Dr. McCowin to look at making dietary changes along with the weekly chiropractic treatments. We filled our bookshelves with gluten-free, wheat-free. dairy-free cookbooks. After studying the nutritional supplements extensively and with the doctor’s advice, we have implemented them on the entire family’s diet aside from Toby’s diet and gained good results.

Then, Toby’s teacher asked us to come in for a meeting after a few weeks of beginning Dr. McCowin’s treatment. She inquired about the kinds of changes happened at home and informed us of the positive results she had seen. 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.
