146. Q&A: Child Hypersensitive to Pain? Never Gets Fevers? Here's Why
In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel explores the neurological reasons behind children's hypersensitivity to pain and related immune system challenges. He explains how sympathetic dominance and vagus nerve suppression create a confusing presentation where kids may scream from minor scrapes but show no fever response when genuinely sick.
Dr. Tony breaks down the connection between subluxation, dysautonomia, and sensory processing issues while providing hope through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care. He also prepares parents for the "parasympathetic pendulum swing" - a necessary healing response where suppressed fever and detoxification systems come back online with intensity. This episode connects the dots between pain hypersensitivity, lack of fever response, and the body's natural healing mechanisms.
