Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the critical difference between nervous system REPAIR and nervous system REGULATION—and why getting the order right changes everything. While tools like breathwork, craniosacral therapy, and neurofeedback are trending, they can't work effectively until foundational trauma is addressed first. He explains how physical, chemical, and emotional stress gets locked into the body through subluxation, creating sympathetic dominance that blocks healing.
This episode provides a roadmap for sequencing your healing journey correctly, knowing when you're ready for regulation tools, and why some families need years of foundational chiropractic care before other interventions will stick. If you've tried everything and feel stuck, this is your answer.
