In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that affects many teenagers and young adults, particularly females. Dr. Ebel explains that POTS is not a mystery condition but rather a neurological issue stemming from vagus nerve dysfunction, dysautonomia, nervous system dysregulation, and subluxation. He criticizes conventional medical approaches that merely treat symptoms while missing the root cause and offers a chiropractic perspective on how to effectively address POTS through nervous system-focused care. Dr. Ebel provides hope for those suffering from POTS, emphasizing that healing is possible through natural, drug-free methods.
