We have seen more EDS, POTS & PANS cases this year than ever before...here is a primer on what they are and what brain-based pediatric chiropractic can do about them
-
Episode 686: Using Brain Hemisphericity in Practice
The human brain is lateralized so that it can have incredible specialization but that also makes it somewhat vulnerable . That is why it is important to look at hemisphericity during patient care...
-
Episode 685: See the future
Can you see the future? I don't predict the future. I mean, when a patient walks in with a particular problem, can you see them better? Train yourself to see each patient, no matter what they presented with, as doing better. Then you just need to lead them to that future!
-
Episode 684: What's one thing you would do differently if you started over?
What's the one thing you would do differently if you started over? What are the best and worst things you've done in practice? What should you reinvest in your office as your office grows? These are just some of the dozens of questions answered during our quarterly Q & A talk.
-
Episode 683: "Chiropractic is a radical science"
"Chiropractic is a radical science" is a great description from Stephenson's classic Chiropractic Textbook...even though it was written in 1927, it still holds true today. Chiropractic runs "contrary to the methods of healing used in the world." That's exactly what makes chiropractic so special!
-
Episode 682: Newton's Laws & Chiropractic
What do Newton's Laws of Motion have to do with Chiropractic? Well...everything! Motion, inertia, acceleration, equal and opposite forces...all of it relates to chiropractic. He thought of this in 1686 almost 250 years before Stephenson wrote the 33 principles and about 200 years before the birth...
-
Episode 681: Can they vs should they?

-
Episode 680: How many trees are in 1 acorn?
The number trees in an acorn varies from how you look at that acorn...is it just an acorn seed, or does the tree that's in the acorn have significant possibilities?
-
Episode 679: See the future, honor the past
Been in practice for 37+ years! Thinking about what it was like when I first started and where things have changed, and how children have become the centerpiece of everything I do...what a wild ride it's been.
-
Episode 678: Social media = lower performance
Have you read "The Anxious Generation"? Great book illustrating the issues that phones have caused our world and especially our youth. A new study further cements this problem in real time, showing that the younger a child starts on social media, the worse their school performance is!
-
Episode 677: Presumed competence
So many times children & adults with Autism level 3 are assumed to not understand directions simply because they don't follow them. Maybe it is a combination of apraxia and sensory processing disorder and we should presume competence EVEN IF that person cannot demonstrate it!
-
Episode 676: "Above down, inside out"
Chiropractic philosophy is deep with concepts of inside out healing potential. When you cut your finger, you need do nothing but clean (and maybe cover) the wound,...the body does all the work itself! That is a small example of the ADIO thinking
-
Episode 675: Brain based adjusting concepts
Adjusting kids using brain-based concepts is very different than the standard idea which is, "adjusting kids is like adjusting little adults." You take into account the child's nerve system before you decide what sort of adjustment you will do.

Episode 674: The amazing neuro 'ring'
There is a neuro ring that surrounds the head that can be a ring of incredible sensory acuity or a ring of fire, depending on what's happening with that child or adult.

-
Episode 670: Silent synapes
How does brain-based chiropractic work? Here is a possible answer...silent synapses! There are these hidden mini-synapses in all of our brains (if it's in adults it's in kids too) that controls how our brains use neuroplasticity to rewire itself! Here is the link:...
-
Episode 669: The Ethics of De-extinction - Can you vs should you?
De-extinction? What? There are companies & scientists out there who are working to bring back extinct animal species. The big question I ask is not can you do this, but SHOULD you do this? We have people and kids suffering all over the world, yet this one company worth billions is working on...
-
Episode 668: "Far better off without a subluxation than you are with one!"
Accumulative constructive survival value = chiropractic care, good nutrition, proper sleep and exercise. Accumulative destructive survival value = subluxations, poor nutrition, improper sleep, lack of exercise. As BJ Palmer would say, it is as simple as that!

Episode 661: "We work on the subtle substance of the soul"
"We work on the subtle substance of the soul" is one of my favorite BJ Palmer quotes from the story, "This Inner Power Speaks." Dr Palmer doesn't mention back pain or even the spine...he talks about how we are working on the nerve system which helps our innate intelligence work at 100%!

Episode 640: Emotions, Proprioception, & Hypermobility
How are emotions, proprioception, & hypermobility connected in people who are neurodivergent? One possible connector of these 3 seemingly disconnected pieces I believe to be the hypomobility of small joints of the spine (causing spinal misalignment or subluxation).
