What do we know?
We know that at birth the brain isn’t fully developed and needs to move through a trajectory of development. There are 4 main stages of development that the brain needs to work through before it reaches its most sophisticated level of function.
There are many factors/stressors that can impact that trajectory of development and cause “gaps” or “deflections” and these can present as certain “deficits”particularly in regards to behavioural, socialisation and learning challenges. Similarly these are found in people with ADHD, Autism, Tourette Syndrome, tics and learning disorders to name a few.
Subluxationsor neuro-structural shifts/misalignments in the spine affect how the brain receives, processes and responds to information. This causes a brain/body disconnect.
The goal is identify any stressors that are affecting the brains ability to adapt to stress and identify any unintegrated primitive reflexes, gross motor, fine motor and visual cognition challenges. This will give a lot of information on the tools the person is using to function and process their world.
How can I help?
I use chiropractic adjustments to correct subluxations to improve the brain/body connection, reduce autonomic nervous system stress and therefore allow the brain to work through any gaps or deflections in development.
