Episode Overview: 

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the deep neuroscience behind low muscle tone, particularly in relation to autism, sensory processing disorders, ADHD, and other neurological challenges in children. He explains how birth trauma and interventions can lead to hypertonicity in the neck and upper body, which in turn causes low muscle tone in the core. Dr. Tony emphasizes the importance of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care as a missing link in addressing these issues, and how it can enhance the effectiveness of other therapies like PT, OT, and speech therapy.
