We help the brain find its balance — naturally, holistically, and with hope. When autism feels overwhelming, there’s another way forward.
If you’re a parent, you’ve probably been told more about what your child won’t be able to do than what’s possible. Maybe you’ve heard that this is “just the way it is.” But in our clinic, we’ve seen firsthand how the brain can change and how those changes can open new doors for connection, learning, and independence.
Autism is complex, but we know one thing for certain: the brain is adaptable. With proper stimulation, nutrition, and support, the brain can form new pathways. We’ve seen it happen repeatedly: nonverbal children begin to speak small words, children who struggle to make eye contact finally say hello, and children participate more in activities
Our Approach: More Than Just Managing Symptoms
At Team Health Care Clinic, we look deeper than a diagnosis. Autism is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is our care. Every patient starts with a thorough, hands-on evaluation to understand how the brain functions and what might be out of balance. We would have no issues if everything worked optimally or “fired” correctly.
From there, we create a plan tailored to your child’s needs, often addressing:
- Brain hemisphere balance – strengthening weaker areas so the brain works together as one
- Sensory processing – improving how the brain interprets and responds to the world
- Social and emotional regulation – helping create calm and connection
- Nutrition and gut health – supporting brain chemistry from the inside out
We don’t just address the brain; we like to look at it from a full-body approach. We address the chemistry, the environment, and the daily habits that shape brain function. We’re looking at it from a brain, body, and chemistry perspective. Our team — including a board-certified chiropractic neurologist, functional medicine provider, and therapy specialists — works together to give your child every advantage for growth.
We specialize in helping kids who struggle with:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
- ADHD and attention challenges
- Speech delays or communication issues
- Emotional dysregulation
- Sleep disturbances
- Gut-brain imbalance and chronic inflammation
Whether your child is newly diagnosed or you’re years into your journey, we’re ready to help you take the next step—with answers that make sense.

How Our Care Plan Works
1. Body
Misalignment = Miscommunication = Misery. Pain, tightness, poor posture, inflammation—it’s all your body screaming for help. When the spine is off, your nervous system can’t work right. We realign the body through chiropractic, physical therapy, and acupuncture to get you moving, healing, and living again.
2. Brain
Your brain controls every cell, organ, and system in your body. If the brain-to-body connection is blocked—even slightly—you feel it: pain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety. Most doctors miss this. We don’t. We restore the brain’s ability to run the show—so your body can finally heal. Because when your brain fires right, your whole body functions better. And when that connection is restored, everything changes.
3. Chemistry
Your Gut Talks to Your Brain—Loudly . 80% of your brain’s neurotransmitters come from your gut. If your digestion, blood sugar, or hormones are off, your brain will suffer. We use advanced functional medicine to fix the chemistry behind your symptoms—because supplements and meds aren’t enough when the root is still there.
How We Treat Autism in Champlin, MN
Comprehensive Consultation and Exam
Your child’s first visit is a deep dive into understanding how their brain and body work together.
At the first visit, we:
- Discuss your child’s history and current challenges
- Perform a hands-on neurological exam
- Test balance, timing, and primitive reflexes to identify brain imbalances
- Use these findings to design a personalized care plan
Brain Based Rehabilitation in Champlin, MN
Once we’ve identified areas of the brain that are underactive or not firing correctly, we use specific therapies to activate and strengthen them.
Therapies we offer include:
- NSI (NeuroSensorimotor Integration)
- Neurosage visual-vestibular stimulation
- Laser therapy to support nerve communication and healing
- Rezzimax for calming overstimulation and improving brain-body communication
Every activity is unique and stimulates the exact area of the brain that needs support, helping it reconnect and work more efficiently.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive brain training for many conditions, including autism.
Here’s how it works:
- We often start with an EEG brain map, measuring brainwave patterns and identifying imbalances.
- During training, your child watches a movie, video, or listens to music.
- As their brain responds in real time, they earn a reward— the video becomes clearer or the sound sharper when their brain is firing in the desired pattern.
- With continual training and sessions, we can train a brain to “fire” appropriately, and that is when we start to see incredible change.
Neurofeedback doesn’t hurt, it isn’t invasive, and most children enjoy the sessions. Training is typically done twice weekly, though some benefit from more frequent sessions.
What Makes Our Autism Care Different
We don’t look at just one part of your child’s health—we look at the whole picture. That’s the power of our integrated approach.
- qEEG Brain Mapping – Reveals which brain regions are under- or over-performing.
- Neurofeedback + Brain-Based Rehab – Helps rewire brain patterns that affect behavior, focus, and communication.
- Primitive Reflex & Sensory Integration – Targets foundational neurological patterns that can interfere with development.
- Functional Medicine Support – We test for and address gut health, food sensitivities, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies—all of which impact the brain.
- Team-Based, Parent-Focused Care – From our chiropractic neurologists to our functional medicine doctors, our whole team is here to walk alongside you.
We don’t just treat your child.

Common Symptoms of Autism in Champlin, MN
Although there are many types of imbalances, here are five common symptoms we see:
Sensory Processing Challenges
Many children struggle with how their brain interprets sights, sounds, touch, or movement. Children with sensory needs may have meltdowns in noisy environments, discomfort with clothing textures, or constant seeking/avoiding of sensory input.
Social and Communication Difficulties
Autism often involves challenges with nonverbal communication, understanding social cues, or forming connections. Some kids may be highly verbal but struggle with back-and-forth conversation, while others may have limited speech but strong alternative ways of expressing themselves.
Emotional Regulation & Anxiety
Emotional outbursts, trouble calming down, or high levels of anxiety are common in children with autism. Struggles with emotional regulation often stem from imbalances in how the brain processes regulation and control.
Attention, Focus, and Learning Challenges
Many parents are concerned that their child can’t sit still, focus on schoolwork, or transition between tasks. In the clinic, this often overlaps with ADHD-type symptoms, which we see in children with autism.
Developmental Delays & Primitive Reflexes
Sometimes the earliest signs of autism are delays in speech, motor coordination, or retained primitive reflexes that weren’t integrated in infancy. Underlying brain imbalances can affect everything from balance to handwriting to social engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the first appointment look like?
We start with a comprehensive evaluation, including a complete history, neurological exam, and testing for balance, timing, and primitive reflexes. This helps us identify which areas of the brain may not be firing as they should.
How is your approach different from traditional autism therapies?
Instead of focusing only on managing behaviors, we work to improve brain function at the root level. Using tools like brain-based rehab, neurofeedback, and nutrition support, we help strengthen weaker areas of the brain so your child can thrive.
What is neurofeedback, and how does it help kids with autism?
Neurofeedback is a biofeedback that “trains” the brain to self-regulate. During a session, your child watches a movie or listens to music while we monitor brainwave activity in real time. When the brain fires in balance, the video or audio plays clearly, rewarding the brain and reinforcing healthier patterns. It’s safe, non-invasive, and often enjoyable for kids.
Do you only work with children?
No — we see both children and adults. Autism presents differently at every age, and our therapies are customized to support development, learning, focus, and quality of life for all ages.
Are your treatments covered by insurance?
Some of the testing and therapies we provide are not covered by insurance because they go beyond the “standard of care.” We’ll always be upfront about costs and create a plan that works for your family’s goals and budget.
