In this episode of The Family Practice Podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel emphasizes that principled, neurologically-focused chiropractic care is distinct from medical, wellness, and functional medicine. He warns against diluting the profession by integrating other healthcare models and urges chiropractors to own their niche—nervous system-focused care—since no other profession directly addresses subluxations. While parents increasingly seek natural options, many of the therapies and protocols chase symptoms rather than correcting nervous system dysfunction. The goal is to make pure chiropractic as mainstream as organic food so that it becomes parents' FIRST choice in healthcare.
