98. Q&A: We Just Found This… Is It Too Late for Our Teen? Apr 25, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Tony Ebel addresses a common question: "Is it too late to start chiropractic care and nervous system healing for young adults with neurodevelopmental conditions?" Dr. Ebel shares his personal journey starting chiropractic care in his early 20s and explains how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can help individuals of any age, particularly those transitioning into adulthood. He emphasizes the importance of shifting away from the medical paradigm of diagnosing and treating conditions toward restoring neurophysiological function to improve quality of life.

96. Q&A: Is There Ever a Time the Nervous System Isn’t First? Apr 18, 2025

Show notes

Resources for Emotional Healing: Episode 79
Resource for Dental/Airway challenges: Episode 71

Podcast dedicated to addressing mold: Never Been Sicker

In this episode of the "Ask Dr. Tony" series, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses the question of whether there are times when nervous system work should not be the first priority in healing. While he typically advocates for starting with nervous system regulation through chiropractic care before moving to detoxification and other therapies, he identifies three significant exceptions: mold exposure, family emotional stress, and dental/airway issues. These environmental factors can create constant stress on a child's body, preventing nervous system healing despite proper chiropractic care. Dr. Tony explains how these issues work as continuous stressors that exhaust the nervous system and require specific interventions before chiropractic care can be fully effective.

[00:05:00] Foundational Concepts

Dr. Bruce Lipton's quote: "The function of the nervous system is to perceive the environment and coordinate the behavior of all other cells"
The "inside-out" healing approach vs. pharmaceutical/symptom-based approaches
Health as a balance between internal regulation and environmental factors

[00:10:00] First Exception: Mold Exposure

How mold creates a constant 24/7/365 burden on the immune and nervous systems
Signs that mold might be an issue (persistent respiratory problems despite treatment)
Why mold must be addressed before nervous system work can be effective

[00:19:00] Second Exception: Family Emotional Stress

How stress and emotional trauma within the family affect a child's healing
The importance of treating parents' nervous systems for co-regulation
Personal examples from Dr. Tony's experiences with his own children's health challenges

[00:23:00] Third Exception: Dental Infections and Airway Issues

How dental problems and airway dysfunction create continuous nervous system stress
The connection between oral health and vagus nerve function
Why these issues can block progress despite proper chiropractic care

[00:29:00] Identifying Issues and Solutions

Using INSiGHT Scans to measure nervous system function and identify non-responsive cases
The "three scans" rule for determining when to look for other underlying issues
Importance of proper referrals and comprehensive care approaches

Dr. Tony Ebel addresses a common concern among parents whose children are receiving chiropractic care for neurological issues: why do the nervous system scans show improvement while symptoms persist? Dr. Tony explains the science of inside-out healing, detailing how neurological improvement happens in stages, with symptom relief often being the last step in the healing process.

90. Q&A How Will My Sensory Child Get Adjusted? Mar 28, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the most common questions from parents of sensory-sensitive children: How do you adjust kids who don't like to be touched? Dr. Tony provides a comprehensive foundation plus five specific strategies that neurologically-focused chiropractors use to successfully work with sensory spectrum children. He explains how PX Docs offices create sensory-friendly environments, build trust with children, and use specialized adjustment techniques that are dramatically different from traditional chiropractic approaches. Dr. Tony emphasizes that these methods not only work but often result in children actually craving these adjustments because of how they help regulate the nervous system.
