PERFECT STORM KIDS

Aptly named by world-renowned thought-leader, teacher, podcast host and paediatric chiropractor, Dr. Tony Ebel, “The Perfect Storm” is a blanket term used to describe the increasingly long list of childhood conditions that are affecting children of the modern western world.

More often than not, the perfect storm starts with a high-stress pregnancy and/or significant or severe birth intervention. This then leads into a cascade of challenges ranging from colicky or unsettled infants to “raging bull” toddlers or clumsy and uncoordinated kids with stunted development, and eventually one of the increasingly prevalent childhood diagnoses such as autism or ADHD.

As our children grow through these challenges, we’re generally told by the traditional paediatrician or GP that they will “grow out of it”. When in reality the problem may disappear, but only to be replaced shortly thereafter by a new developmentally-appropriate symptom.

For example, the constantly spitting-up and inconsolably crying infant grows into the unmanageable, underslept and tantrum-throwing toddler who then grows into the anxious, socially challenged school kid with learning difficulties or even developmental regressions.

If this sounds remotely like your birth history or your child, we highly recommend you check out the library of resources and information at PXDocs.com and have a listen to Dr. Tony Ebel’s Experience Miracles podcast.

For those especially interested you may begin to find some answers by researching the link between the vagus nerve and many of the diagnoses listed above. As neurologically-focused chiropractors we are equipped with the assessment tools to measure vagus nerve function, and various techniques to help in improving vagal tone.

If you’re a parent going through the perfect storm and you have exhausted all of the traditional, mainstream and medical options for your child, perhaps we can offer you some newfound hope, answers and help.

We’re equipped and ready to sit down with you and your child, go through a detailed history and neurological assessment and seek to find the answers you haven’t yet found. In our holistic approach, we will do our best to get your child the help that they deserve. We’re experienced at working diligently and cohesively in co-managing these tough cases with other allied providers including GPs, paediatricians, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists.

We would love the opportunity to be on your team of experts, dedicated to improving your family’s quality of life. If you have any questions or would like to speak to us, our contact details are at the bottom of this page and we welcome your call. If you’re ready to get started, you can schedule your child’s first visit here.
