The Functional Neurologist and Neurological Model to solve Autism Spectrum Disorder

I have been a chiropractor for 18 years and treated many children with Autism in this time. My clients have ranged from mild Asperger Syndrome to severe Autistic and all other categories in what’s known as the Autistic Spectrum. I’ve treated young children to adults with these disorders.

For the past three and a half years I have been practicing Functional Neurology which is a healing science that involves fixing brains and nervous systems without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic has always been based in neurology, however with the addition of the Functional Neurological model pioneered by Professor Fred Carrick, and practiced world-wide, the treatment of clients with a wide array of neurological disorder/s can now be highly tailored to the particular regions of the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous systems in a new and highly specific manner.

Brain Power

As most of you would be aware, I have spent the last two and a half years studying neurology for a qualification known as a Diplomat Degree. This is the American equivalent of a Fellowship in Australian terms. The qualification is termed DABCN or Diplomat of the American Board of Chiropractic Neurologists. I also become eligible to become a Fellow of the Australasian Academy of Functional Neurologists FAAFN.

In simple terms, this all means I have gone into a specialised area of chiropractic that deals in Brain based disorder and care. The field of work is natural neurology – fixing brains and nervous systems without drugs or surgery.

Super-Life beyond 50

Our population is ageing. It is very reasonable to expect to live beyond 90 now days. Should life past 50 be full of sickness and disease or full of life and vitality? We should all be able to expect our life past 50 to be enjoyable and comfortable. Unfortunately for many it is not. Arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes and pain are all too familiar and their frequency tells us that western medicine has failed us. Well people who are over 50 and who have chiropractic care report much better quality of life and health. Chiropractic can help you at this age too.

What can chiropractic do for me?

You are a marvel. Chiropractic can help you be more marvellous... By taking pressure off your nervous system, chiropractic spinal care allows your body to express more of its health potential. What this means is your body works better under chiropractic care. Right now, any symptoms or diseases you have in your system have developed through injury or a gradual build up of poor 'function'. Chiropractic can ease interference and let your body get over symptoms and diseases.

Your Noggin is Not for Nuthin

Your Noggin (or head) and it's contents form the basis of all you are. All your cells are controlled by your brain and central nervous system trunk - your spinal cord. You create your existence from your brain and the extent of your health depends on good communication between your brain and body. Pain, ill health, asthma, colic, pinched nerve, PMS and head ache can all be caused when your spine puts pressure on your brain and spinal cord. Chiropractic care can relieve this pressure to help with these and many other problems.
