Free Article: Understanding the Difference Between ADD & ADHDLearn more about the INSiGHT Scans here !In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the fundamental differences between what he describes as "raging bull" ADHD and "drunken bull" ADD. He explains how both conditions stem from nervous system dysregulation but manifest in different ways. Dr. Ebel shares his concerns about medication approaches that only mask symptoms while introducing side effects, and offers his perspective on addressing the root neurological causes through chiropractic care that targets subluxation and vagus nerve function. Drawing from his personal experience with ADHD, he outlines how proper neurological balance can transform these conditions from struggles to strengths.[00:00:00] - Introduction and OverviewIntroduction to the "raging bull" vs "drunken bull" conceptsOverview of medication limitations and side effectsThe true root causes of ADHD/ADD patterns[00:05:00] - Understanding the Neurological PerspectiveCritique of standard diagnostic approachesChallenge to the chemical imbalance theoryDr. Ebel's personal experience with "raging bull" ADHDHow nervous system dysregulation affects behavior[00:12:00] - The Two Types ExplainedCharacteristics of the "raging bull" hyperactive typeDescription of the "drunken bull" inattentive typeThe role of subluxation in nervous system disruptionHow types can transform into each other over time[00:15:00] - Root Triggers and Developmental PatternsImpact of prenatal stress and birth interventionsThe cascade effect on immune function and gut healthHow sympathetic dominance affects neurological processingThe connection between motor coordination and focus[00:18:00] - Assessment and Care ApproachNeurological insight scans for measuring dysfunctionCustomized adjustment protocols for each typeResources for parents seeking more informationPX docs approach to transforming struggles to strengths-- DETAILS & REGISTRATION FOR THE FREE MAY AUTISM SUMMIT Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Resources for Emotional Healing: Episode 79Resource for Dental/Airway challenges: Episode 71Podcast dedicated to addressing mold: Never Been SickerIn this episode of the "Ask Dr. Tony" series, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses the question of whether there are times when nervous system work should not be the first priority in healing. While he typically advocates for starting with nervous system regulation through chiropractic care before moving to detoxification and other therapies, he identifies three significant exceptions: mold exposure, family emotional stress, and dental/airway issues. These environmental factors can create constant stress on a child's body, preventing nervous system healing despite proper chiropractic care. Dr. Tony explains how these issues work as continuous stressors that exhaust the nervous system and require specific interventions before chiropractic care can be fully effective.[00:05:00] Foundational ConceptsDr. Bruce Lipton's quote: "The function of the nervous system is to perceive the environment and coordinate the behavior of all other cells"The "inside-out" healing approach vs. pharmaceutical/symptom-based approachesHealth as a balance between internal regulation and environmental factors[00:10:00] First Exception: Mold ExposureHow mold creates a constant 24/7/365 burden on the immune and nervous systemsSigns that mold might be an issue (persistent respiratory problems despite treatment)Why mold must be addressed before nervous system work can be effective[00:19:00] Second Exception: Family Emotional StressHow stress and emotional trauma within the family affect a child's healingThe importance of treating parents' nervous systems for co-regulationPersonal examples from Dr. Tony's experiences with his own children's health challenges[00:23:00] Third Exception: Dental Infections and Airway IssuesHow dental problems and airway dysfunction create continuous nervous system stressThe connection between oral health and vagus nerve functionWhy these issues can block progress despite proper chiropractic care[00:29:00] Identifying Issues and SolutionsUsing INSiGHT Scans to measure nervous system function and identify non-responsive casesThe "three scans" rule for determining when to look for other underlying issuesImportance of proper referrals and comprehensive care approaches-- DETAILS & REGISTRATION FOR THE FREE MAY AUTISM SUMMIT Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Dr. Ebel explains that POTS is not a mystery condition but rather a neurological issue stemming from vagus nerve dysfunction, dysautonomia, nervous system dysregulation, and subluxation. He criticizes conventional medical approaches that merely treat symptoms while missing the root cause and offers a chiropractic perspective on how to effectively address POTS through nervous system-focused care. Dr. Ebel provides hope for those suffering from POTS, emphasizing that healing is possible through natural, drug-free methods.[00:00:00] Introduction & Overview of POTSPOTS is not a mystery condition but a straightforward neurological issuePrimarily affects teenagers and young adults, especially femalesMedical approach fails by merely labeling symptoms without addressing root causes[07:00:00] POTS Symptoms & Root CausesSymptoms: dizziness, rapid heartbeat, chronic fatigue, easily triggered anxietyRoot causes: nervous system dysregulation, vagus nerve dysfunction, dysautonomia, subluxationHow vagus nerve connects brain and gut, affecting everything from balance to anxiety[14:00:00] Conventional vs. Functional ApproachesConventional: salt intake, beta blockers, and "slowing down" recommendationsFunctional medicine: diet, physical activity, gut health, stress managementWhy both approaches still fall short without addressing neurological root causes[18:00:00] Patient Patterns & Physical SignsCommon history: birth interventions, childhood illnesses like colic and ear infectionsPhysical signs: forward head posture ("tech neck"), tension at base of skullThe bowling ball analogy explaining how posture affects nervous system function[23:00:00] Assessment & Treatment ApproachAssessment tools: INSiGHT scans (thermal, EMG), heart rate variability (HRV)Care plan: specific chiropractic adjustments, postural correction techniquesWhy complete healing takes time and follows a non-linear recovery path[28:00:00] Call to ActionFinding a PX doctor through PXdocs.com-- DETAILS & REGISTRATION FOR THE FREE MAY AUTISM SUMMIT Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Dr. Tony Ebel explores the neuroscience behind stimming behaviors in children with autism and other neurosensory challenges. He explains that stimming is a natural coping response to an overwhelmed, dysregulated nervous system rather than a problem to be eliminated. He then outlines how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can help address the root causes of stimming by restoring balance to the nervous system rather than just treating the symptoms.[00:00:00] Introduction & Understanding Stimming BehaviorsExplanation of repetitive movements like hand flapping, rocking, and teeth grindingCommon questions parents have about these behaviors[00:01:21] The Science Behind StimmingPatient case study: Amelia's repetitive nodding movementsHow traditional medicine failed to address the root causeStimming as a natural response to a dysregulated neurosensory systemHow environmental factors increase stimming behaviors[00:04:13] The Nervous System ExplainedSympathetic (fight-or-flight) vs. parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) branchesIntroduction to the vagus nerve and its critical role in regulationExplanation of dysregulation and dysautonomia in autism[00:05:38] Subluxation and ProprioceptionDefinition of subluxation How proprioception (sense of movement) sends calming signals to the brainWhy movement is inherently calming to the nervous system[00:09:10] Three Benefits of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic CareCleaning up sensory input to the brain and nervous systemActivating the vagus nerve for better regulationImproving a child's ability to handle environmental challengesHow this approach reduces stimming naturally by addressing the root cause[00:12:37] Assessment and Treatment ApproachHow factors from pregnancy through early childhood contribute to current challengesIntroduction to neurological assessment technologyThe process of creating customized care plansNext steps for parents wanting to explore this approach-- DETAILS & REGISTRATION FOR THE FREE MAY AUTISM SUMMIT Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.
