In this episode of The Spinal Truth, Dr. Caleb Slater dive deep into the rising cases of gastrointestinal issues in children—Crohn's, IBS, and ulcerative colitis—and explores a surprising link most doctors miss: the spine. Dr. Slater explains how dysfunction in the thoracolumbar junction could be the root cause of symptoms often misdiagnosed as GI diseases, and how targeted physical therapy has helped children reverse chronic symptoms, even come off biologics.
They cover:
Common GI symptoms in kids that may actually stem from the spine
Why nighttime bowel movements and plantar fasciitis could be red flags
The circuit breaker analogy that changes how we understand symptom origin
How movement-based therapy has provided relief when everything else failed
Differences in treating children vs adults—and why kids respond faster
Whether you're a parent, clinician, or someone dealing with chronic GI issues, this episode offers a fresh and empowering perspective on healing.
