What if conditions like autism, seizures, anxiety, and bipolar disorder aren’t isolated diagnoses—but signals of a nervous system under stress? In this episode, Dr. Jeff Knight, D.C., unpacks how chiropractic care extends far beyond back pain into the regulation of the nervous system, brain–body communication, and root-cause healing. The conversation explores how spinal alignment, neurological feedback loops, and cellular inflammation interact with conditions such as autism, anxiety, bipolar disorder, seizures, and developmental challenges—often in ways that are missed when care focuses only on symptoms. Dr. Knight explains how disruptions in signaling, inhibition, and energy production can cascade across systems, shaping behavior, mood, and regulation.

The episode also dives into real-world case studies, including infant seizures and long-term mental health recovery, alongside discussions of brainwaves, nutrition, environmental toxins, and mitochondrial stress. Rather than offering quick fixes, this conversation reframes health as a systems-level process that unfolds upstream, where small changes can have wide-ranging effects. By the end of this episode, we hope you walk away with a clearer lens for understanding the nervous system, a deeper appreciation for the complexity behind neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions, and a renewed curiosity about what healing can look like when we stop chasing symptoms and start listening to the body.
