Research & Publications
At Absolute Chiropractic, our passion for neurologically-based and cranial care extends beyond clinical practice — it’s part of our research mission.
Our team actively contributes to case studies, literature reviews, and peer-reviewed publications exploring how chiropractic adjustments and cranial techniques influence brain–body communication, autonomic balance, and quality of life.
Below is a selection of our published research and collaborative work.
Featured Publications
Improved Behavioral Changes, Dysautonomia, Dysponesis, and Quality of Life in an Adult with Autism Following Chiropractic Care to Correct Vertebral Subluxation: A Case Study & Review of the Literature
Pellegrino A., et al.
Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research, 2021
This case study documents the improvement in behavioral regulation, autonomic balance, and overall quality of life in an adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder following neurologically-based chiropractic care. Findings highlight the relationship between vertebral subluxation, dysautonomia, and adaptive neurobehavioral function.
Resolution of Adult-Onset Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Following Chiropractic Care for Management of Vertebral Subluxations: A Case Report & Review of the Literature
Pellegrino A., et al.
Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research, 2018
An adult male diagnosed with ADHD experienced full resolution of symptoms and medication cessation following neurologically-based chiropractic care. This study explores the neurophysiological connection between subluxation, attention, and executive function.
Improvements in a 4-Year-Old with Autism Spectrum Disorder Following Chiropractic Care to Reduce Vertebral Subluxation
Pellegrino A., et al.
Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research, 2017
This pediatric case study outlines improvements in behavior, communication, and sleep regulation in a 4-year-old child with Autism Spectrum Disorder after receiving specific chiropractic adjustments aimed at reducing vertebral subluxation and restoring neurological communication.
Reduction in Seizure Activity in an Epilepsy Sufferer with Autism Spectrum Disorder Under Chiropractic Care: A Case Report
Pellegrino A., Postlethwaite R., McIvor C.
Asia-Pacific Chiropractic Journal, 2024; 5(2)
A 22-year-old female with severe epilepsy and Autism Spectrum Disorder experienced complete cessation of seizures following neurologically-based chiropractic care using Torque Release Technique. This case highlights the role of spinal and cranial neuromechanical input in modulating cortical excitability and seizure activity.
Research Focus Areas
Our work continues to explore the relationship between:
Neurological regulation and the body’s ability to heal and adapt
Autonomic balance (dysautonomia) and neurodevelopmental function
Cranial and upper cervical dynamics in sensory processing and emotional regulation
Pediatric and neurodevelopmental care outcomes following gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments
Our Commitment to Research
We believe that advancing neurologically-based chiropractic care through research is essential to building a stronger, more credible profession — and to helping more families find answers rooted in connection, not correction.
