In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses whether chiropractic care alone can help children heal without functional medicine. He explains that while the answer is "it depends," Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care should be the foundational first step in healing before adding other therapies. He presents a three-step flowchart of chronic illness and emphasizes the importance of addressing the nervous system first.
