✨ Marshall’s Story ✨
“When we first came to Innate, we were exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperate. Marshall wasn’t sleeping — every night, like clockwork, he would wake at 2am and sprint through the house. We had tried everything: diet changes, sleep specialists, labs, melatonin, even prescription medication. Nothing worked.
What we didn’t realize at the time was how deeply his little body was struggling. He was constantly bouncing into things for sensory input, unable to stand or sit still, and transitions were nearly impossible. His cheeks were always flushed, his movements nonstop, and our whole family was running on empty. Conventional medicine shrugged and told us, ‘Some kids with autism just don’t sleep well.’ But as parents, we knew there had to be another way.
That’s when we found Innate. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. But seeing Marshall’s neurological scans helped connect the dots — his spine and nervous system were inflamed, and it explained so much of what he was going through.
After starting care, the first thing we noticed was how much calmer and more alert he became. He even started drawing for the very first time — his first pictures were of his grandma and Dr. Rick. At 6 weeks we began tapering off the sleep medication, and by 12 weeks, Marshall was finally sleeping through the night. Without meds. Without struggle. That was 7 years ago, and he’s still sleeping soundly today!
Chiropractic care didn’t just help Marshall sleep — it gave us our family back. Today, we can enjoy him for who he is and take life’s challenges one step at a time (a lot easier when everyone is well-rested!). As Marshall continues to grow and develop, Innate has supported him every step of the way!
To any parent out there wondering if chiropractic can help your sensory-sensitive child: you’ve got nothing to lose, and the possibilities are endless.” 💙
Marshall - way to go, buddy!!! 🤩
