Why are so many children today overstimulated, anxious, and struggling with focus, coordination, and emotional regulation? The answer may lie in a hidden, unresolved issue from their earliest days of life. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Vic Manzo, a certified pediatric chiropractor, pulls back the curtain on Primitive Reflexes—the survival reflexes every baby is born with that are supposed to "turn off" as the brain develops.

Dr. Vic reveals how a stressful birth process or early trauma can cause these reflexes to stay "stuck" or active, creating a domino effect that disrupts your child's entire neurological development. He breaks down the four critical layers of brain development and explains how a single stuck reflex can lead to challenges in balance (vestibular), hand-eye coordination (ocular), and even language, cognition, and behavior.

If your child has been labeled as clumsy, anxious, or struggling with focus, this episode provides a powerful, hopeful new perspective. Learn how specific, gentle chiropractic care, combined with primitive reflex integration, can help "reset" the nervous system, close the "brain gap," and help your child not just cope, but truly thrive.
