Neurological & Sensory Processing

At Activate Chiropractic, we take a neurologically focused approach to care—recognizing that the spine is more than structural. It’s a vital part of the central nervous system, which controls how we move, feel, process information, and interact with the world around us.

Dr. Derek Libby holds a Certificate of Proficiency in Pediatric & Family Chiropractic Care, reflecting his specialized training in working with children and families—especially those with neurodevelopmental differences.

When the spine is misaligned, it can create interference in the communication pathways between the brain and body. These disruptions can contribute to a variety of symptoms—especially in individuals with sensory processing challenges or neurodevelopmental conditions.

Chiropractic adjustments, when delivered with precision and gentleness, help restore proper alignment and reduce nervous system stress. By enhancing the body’s ability to regulate, process, and respond to sensory input, we can support both neurological function and overall quality of life.

Supporting Neurodivergent Individuals of All Ages

Many individuals with neurodivergent conditions—such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Motor tics, Tourette Syndrome, and other developmental differences—experience challenges related to:

• Sensory sensitivities (hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity)
• Emotional regulation
• Focus and attention
• How INSiGHT scans work
• Neurologically-focused pediatric care
• Sleep disturbances
• Motor coordination
• Digestive challenges
• Immune function and inflammation

Through consistent chiropractic care, we aim to help regulate the autonomic nervous system, shifting the body out of fight-or-flight and into a state more conducive to rest, digestion, and healing.

We understand that every individual processes the world differently. Our goal is to provide a calm, supportive environment and personalized care that meets each patient where they are—especially children and adults who experience the world through a neurodivergent lens.

Gentle, Nervous-System Based Care

Dr. Libby uses neurologically informed techniques designed to work with the body’s natural rhythms. These techniques are gentle, non-invasive, and customized for the individual’s age, sensitivity level, and unique needs.

Whether you or your child are navigating sensory integration issues, emotional overwhelm, or simply seeking more calm and connection in daily life, chiropractic care can be a valuable part of a holistic support plan.
