| Abstract/Notes | Objective: To describe the health outcomes experienced by a three-year-old child with autism receiving chiropractic care for the management of vertebral subluxation. Clinical features: A three–year-old male with autism and a history of chronic constipation, fussy eating, easy gagging and vomiting, poor sleeping habits, poor weight gain and hyper-sensitivity to touch. Postural abnormalities were found in conjunction with indicators of vertebral subluxation throughout the spine. Intervention & Outcomes: Chiropractic care for vertebral subluxation was provided for 9 visits over 12 weeks. The patient demonstrated improvement in behavior, communication and sociability. Improvement in dysautonomia and posture was concomitant with reduction in vertebral subluxation. Conclusion: A course of chiropractic care was concomitant with improvements in behavior, communication and sociability in a three-year-old male with autism. More research is needed to investigate the role chiropractors may play in helping similar patients so as to inform clinical practice and future research designs.
