Host Brooke welcomes listeners to Finding Hope on the Spectrum and interviews neurologically focused chiropractor Dr. Tony about the link between the nervous system, childhood development, behavior, and healing. Dr. Tony explains that chiropractic originally centered on the brain–spine communication system and shares how his daughter’s healthy birth led him into pediatric specialty work and studying autism, ADHD, sensory challenges, and the “Perfect Storm” of maternal stress, birth trauma, and toxic overload. He recounts his son Oliver’s severe premature, traumatic birth and NICU recovery, which he attributes in part to frequent gentle adjustments, and contrasts this with medical skepticism. The conversation covers how birth interventions can injure the neck/brainstem, early infant warning signs (latching, sleep, reflux, constipation, infections, motor delays), how PX Docs uses scans (thermal, EMG, HRV) and gentle, flexible sessions, support for adults on the spectrum, and how families can find PX Docs, intensives, and training, emphasizing that children are not broken and hope guides healing.
