Quick takeaways
Birth trauma, such as birth intervention and trauma, can have lifelong effects on children's health, triggering an overdrive of the sympathetic nervous system and a lack of vagus nerve regulation.
Multiple research studies demonstrate the correlation between birth trauma and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), emphasizing the importance of addressing birth trauma in the development of these disorders.
The vagus nerve, which plays a vital role in regulating the autonomic nervous system, can be affected by subluxation caused by birth trauma, leading to imbalances in digestion, emotional regulation, inflammation, and motor development.

The Importance of Addressing Birth Trauma in Children's Health
Birth trauma, specifically birth intervention and trauma, has lifelong lasting effects on the health of children. It triggers an excessive sympathetic fight or flight response and subluxation of the upper cervical spine, resulting in an overdrive of the sympathetic nervous system and a lack of parasympathetic vagus nerve regulation. This imbalance affects various aspects of a child's health, including sleep, digestion, immune system function, motor development, emotional regulation, and socialization. Birth trauma is often overlooked and not discussed by conventional medical professionals, leading to misdiagnoses and ineffective treatments. However, neurologically focused pediatric chiropractors, known as PX doctors, are trained in identifying and addressing birth trauma through specific adjustments and protocols that restore balance to the autonomic nervous system and promote healing.
Research Correlations Between Birth Trauma and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Numerous research studies demonstrate the correlation between birth trauma, such as forceps and vacuum deliveries, and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These interventions can cause physical trauma, tension, and tissue damage, triggering an excessive sympathetic response and subluxation in the upper cervical spine. These studies emphasize the need to address birth trauma as a significant factor in the development of these disorders and the importance of finding effective solutions beyond genetics and conventional medical approaches.
Understanding the Role of the Vagus Nerve
The vagus nerve, also known as cranial nerve number 10, plays a vital role in regulating the parasympathetic rest and relaxation response of the autonomic nervous system. It carries sensory information from the body to the brain and regulates social, emotional, and physical functions. Birth trauma can result in subluxation in the upper neck, affecting the function of the vagus nerve. This can lead to imbalances in digestion, emotional regulation, inflammation, and motor development. Stimulating the vagus nerve and addressing subluxation is crucial for improving overall health and well-being in children.
The Need for Nervous System-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Nervous system-focused pediatric chiropractors, known as PX doctors, specialize in identifying and addressing birth trauma and its effects on the nervous system. Through specific adjustments and protocols, they aim to release tension, restore balance to the autonomic nervous system, and activate the vagus nerve. This type of care goes beyond conventional treatments and incorporates a holistic approach to address the root causes of neurodevelopmental disorders and promote optimal health and development in children.
Take Action: Find a PX Doctor and Share the Knowledge
To address birth trauma and support your child's health, it is crucial to find a PX doctor, a chiropractor specializing in nervous system-focused pediatric care. These doctors utilize clinical protocols, adjustments, and personalized care plans to address subluxation and promote optimal nervous system function. Additionally, spreading knowledge about birth trauma and its impact can help other parents and children who may be experiencing similar challenges. Sharing this information on social media, in parenting groups, and with healthcare professionals can create awareness and empower families to take action for their child's well-being.
In this critical episode, Dr. Tony Ebel dives deep into how Birth Trauma and interventions like c-sections, forceps, etc. can trigger neurological dysfunction and chronic health issues in children and how you can address it.
