46. Q&A: Early Signs Your Child’s Nervous System is on the Right Path
In this episode of Ask Dr. Tony, Dr. Tony Ebel explains neurological soft signs - the subtle yet critical indicators that show a child's nervous system is beginning to heal, even before major symptoms improve. He outlines six key signs parents should monitor, from improved posture and muscle tone to better sensory processing, while explaining why these foundational changes must precede improvements in conditions like autism, ADHD, and seizures. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Tony challenges conventional medical approaches that focus on immediate symptom relief, instead presenting a framework for understanding true neurological healing that emphasizes the importance of sequential improvement and proper nervous system foundation before expecting changes in brain-based symptoms.[00:02:00] - Understanding the Context of HealingDifference between medical and neurological healing approachesWhy conventional symptom-based measurements can be misleading[00:05:00] - The Importance of Proper SequencingWhy foundational changes must happen before brain-based improvementsIntroduction to neurological soft signs concept[00:09:00] - Redefining HealingWhy immediate symptom relief isn't always the best indicator of healing[00:13:00] - The Heart-Brain ConnectionBalancing emotional desires with clinical realityUnderstanding parent expectations versus the healing process[00:21:00] - Introduction to Neurological Soft SignsDefinition and importanceWhy they precede major symptom changes[00:25:00] - The Six Key Neurological Soft Signs:[00:28:00] Better Posture, Muscle Tone, and GaitImportance of motor functionUnderstanding hypertonicity and hypotonicity[00:30:00] Improved Sleep PatternsSleep as an indicator of nervous system functionImportance for neurological healing[00:32:00] Digestive FunctionThe connection between the nervous system and digestionSigns of improving gut function[00:36:00] Respiratory and Immune FunctionRelationship between the immune system and nervous systemImportance of proper breathing patterns[00:41:00] Sensory Processing and Behavioral RegulationReduced sensory overloadImproved emotional regulation[00:48:00] - Clinical Assessment ProcessHow practitioners evaluate neurological soft signsRole of insight scans[00:52:00] - The Levels of Progress TrackingPre/post adjustment changesDay-to-day trackingInsight scansNeurological soft signsMajor symptom changesEpisode referenced that covers detoxing/retracing-- 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.
