The Impact of ACE's on Health Outcomes: Trauma Informed Care in Chiropractic

Trauma informed care (TIC) is a recommended approach to healthcare delivery across professions, especially when a trauma history is suspected. This program aims to introduce TIC concepts as they may apply to chiropractic care for adults with a history of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).  Prior trauma can lessen trust, alter perceptions of physical touch, and hands-on examinations and chiropractic treatments may trigger stress responses.

ACEs can facilitate chronic stress. Chronic stress leads to an increase in stress hormones (adrenocorticoids), held in a dynamic equilibrium by allostasis . Chronic stress generates allostatic load, straining body systems and causing physiological change.  

All of the effects of chiropractic care on this population are well documented throughout the literature and through studies.   Join us to learn how Chiropractic can help these patients and how you as a Chiropractor can have a major impact on their ability to function.
