Episode Overview: 

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses sensory processing disorder (SPD) in children. He explains the science behind SPD, its symptoms, and how it relates to other conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and autism. Dr. Ebel also shares the three main triggers of SPD (pregnancy stress, birth interventions, and early developmental challenges) and the four neurological dysfunctions associated with it (subluxation, dysautonomia, nervous system dysregulation, and vagus nerve dysfunction). He emphasizes the importance of seeking neurologically-focused chiropractic care to address the root cause of sensory issues in children.
