When our nervous system is in a chronic state of stress our health takes a turn for the worse and can have long lasting effects on our health. It can start to become overly reactive to every day things like allergens, germs and stressful situations and it will start to wreak havoc on the other systems of our body.

At Sprout Family Chiropractic, we believe in the power of understanding the intricate workings of the nervous system to improve overall health. One critical part of this system is the cerebellum.

At Sprout Family Chiropractic, we understand that every child is unique, and this is especially true for children with autism.

At the heart of every Care Plan is the concept of neuroplasticity – a term that might sound technical, but its implications are both simple and profound. Neuroplasticity is about ensuring the nervous system – the command center of the body – remains in its optimal state and is capable of resting, healing, growing, and adapting. These capabilities are crucial for everyone, from the youngest infants who need their rest, to older children (and even parents), who must navigate the stressors of our fast-paced world.
