Dr. Tony Ebel Episode 93

Free article: When Nothing Works: What To Do When You've Tried Everything for Your Child

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses parents who feel they've "tried everything" to help their children overcome chronic health issues. He introduces the concept that nervous system dysregulation is the often-overlooked foundation of chronic childhood conditions, including autism, ADHD, anxiety, epilepsy, PANS/PANDAS, and POTS. Through Hannah's compelling story of recovery from severe health issues through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, Dr. Ebel explains why the sequence and foundation of healing matters more than individual treatments. He breaks down "The Perfect Storm" of factors that create nervous system dysfunction and why addressing this foundational issue first can make all other interventions more effective.
