38. Brain vs. Body Age: The Perfect Storm and It's Impact on Developmental Milestones

In this episode, Dr. Matt Hill focuses on the brain age versus body age concept in pediatric chiropractic care. The podcast emphasizes the importance of understanding and effectively communicating how neurological development may progress differently from physical growth in children, leading to significant changes during chiropractic treatment. Dr. Matt discusses the potential initial signs of what might appear as regression but are actually crucial for neurological awakening and healing. He illustrates this point with real-life patient stories and offers strategies for chiropractors and their teams to better communicate and set expectations with parents. The episode aims to transform frustration and struggles into celebration and improved buy-in for care plans, ultimately enhancing the life-changing impact on families.
