In this deep-dive Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles a controversial but critical topic: the connection between C-section births and sensory processing disorder. Drawing from a study showing that 80% of children born via C-section develop sensory challenges, Dr. Tony explains the often-overlooked neurophysiological pathway that links birth interventions to long-term sensory and motor dysfunction. He breaks down the complex neuroscience of how C-sections create subluxation in the upper cervical and thoracic spine, leading to altered sensory input that manifests as everything from colic in infancy to sensory overload in childhood.
