Children with GI Issues – Are We Missing the Real Cause?

Monday, August 18, 2025 • Duration 50:59

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.

A Cluster of Symptoms

Monday, August 11, 2025 • Duration 35:26

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Caleb Slater explores a puzzling set of symptoms that millions suffer from—headaches, dizziness, chronic pain, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and anxiety. These often-overlapping issues are commonly misdiagnosed as anxiety, fibromyalgia, POTS, or functional neurological disorders, leading many down a frustrating path of ineffective treatments and lifelong medication.

Dr. Slater breaks down how these symptoms may stem from overlooked dysfunction in the thoracic spine, especially in today’s screen-heavy, sedentary lifestyles. From faulty imaging to “catch-all” diagnoses, the episode challenges the conventional approach and offers a simpler, more logical alternative rooted in nerve function and movement-based therapy.

If you’ve been labeled with a condition and handed a prescription—but still feel stuck—this episode could be the game-changer you need.
