90. Q&A How Will My Sensory Child Get Adjusted?
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.
