Infantile spasms are one of the most frightening neurological emergencies a parent can face — and most families are told that 80 to 90% of children will go on to have lifelong developmental delays and continued seizure disorders. In this deep dive, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down what infantile spasms actually are, what's driving them at the root level, and what the families who beat the odds are doing differently. 

He walks through the perfect storm of birth trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and subluxation that underlies nearly every case he has seen — and explains why the warning signs are almost always there long before the spasms begin. Drawing from his own son Oliver's story and the remarkable case of twins Jordan and Teo, Dr. Tony makes clear that emergency medical care is non-negotiable — and makes an equally strong case for why Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care needs to be part of the plan from day one to address the root cause and give every kiddo the best possible shot at a full, healthy, seizure-free life.
