Chiropractic for Kids With Sensory Processing Challenges

This observational study is looking at chiropractic care for children aged 5 to 12 years who have sensory processing challenges. The main goal is to see if it's practical to use a new set of assessments alongside regular chiropractic care in a real-world setting. Researchers will also look for any changes in how children feel and their heart rate variability (a measure of how well the heart adapts to different situations). To join, children must be between 5 and 12 years old and have a Short Sensory Profile (SSP) score of 154 or less. Children with heart conditions or who have had chiropractic care in the last 30 days cannot participate. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 children.
