At Safe Haven, we know that supporting a child with autism isn’t just about managing behaviors or checking developmental boxes—it’s about really understanding what’s going on in their brain and nervous system.
That’s why we offer a unique combination of neurologically based chiropractic care and gentle laser therapy (called photobiomodulation, or PBM for short). Together, they help kids regulate, connect, and grow in a way that actually supports their brain where it needs it most.
A lot of the kiddos we see are dealing with more than just “sensory stuff” or meltdowns—they’re often stuck in a stressed, overwhelmed state. Under the surface, many of these kids have something called mitochondrial dysfunction, which basically means their brain and body aren’t making enough energy to keep up.
That low energy can show up as poor focus, fatigue, developmental delays, or challenges with speech, movement, or emotional regulation.
Before we ever talk about care, we start with a full neurological exam. That includes:
This gives us a clear picture of what your child’s nervous system is doing—and how we can help it do better.
We use gentle, specific adjustments (no cracking or twisting here) to help calm the nervous system and get it out of survival mode. When the brain isn’t stuck in fight-or-flight all the time, kids can start to feel safer, more regulated, and more open to connection and learning.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) works beautifully alongside adjustments. While the chiropractic side clears the communication lines, laser therapy gives the brain the energy it needs to actually use those clearer signals.
It helps by:
Everything we do is based on what your child’s brain is telling us. No guesswork. No cookie-cutter plans. We build care that supports their nervous system where it needs help—and respects the incredible kid they already are.
This approach doesn’t just help with symptoms—it helps create real, lasting shifts in how their body and brain work together.
So if you’re feeling like your child is stuck and you’re not sure where to go next, let’s chat. There’s more we can do—and we’d be honored to walk this journey with you.
