In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles a deeply important question: how does childhood trauma and abuse impact neural tone and subluxation? Dr. Ebel walks parents, caregivers, and providers through the neurological reality of trauma — explaining why it doesn't just live in the mind, but gets physically stored in the nervous system. He breaks down why talk therapy, medication, and even faith-based counseling sometimes aren't enough on their own, what the INSiGHT scans reveal about a traumatized child's nervous system, and exactly where in the body trauma sets up shop anatomically. The episode closes with a message of hope: your child is not broken, and when you address the nervous system first, everything else — therapy, connection, healing — finally has a foundation to work from.
