Q&A: What Does It Mean When Scans Are Changing But Symptoms Aren't Yet?

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses a common concern among parents whose children are receiving chiropractic care for neurological issues: why do the nervous system scans show improvement while symptoms persist? Dr. Tony explains the science of inside-out healing, detailing how neurological improvement happens in stages, with symptom relief often being the last step in the healing process. He contrasts this natural healing approach with conventional medicine's symptom-focused model and provides parents with a new framework for understanding their child's healing journey.
