In this episode, you will meet Dorte Bladt, a Danish chiropractor practicing in Australia who specializes in pediatric chiropractic care. Dorte shares her journey that led to focusing on helping children with learning and developmental challenges through chiropractic adjustments.

• There is a gap in chiropractic care between treating babies and teenagers with most practitioners missing the crucial developmental years
• Many chiropractors lack confidence in assessing school-age children despite having foundational skills
• Each developmental milestone builds on previous ones, making early intervention crucial for preventing issues
• Introducing pediatric care into practice involves modifying existing assessment skills and learning to communicate effectively with children
• Focusing on nervous system function rather than symptoms when explaining findings to parents
• Creating appropriate care plans based on thorough assessment, with frequency determined by the severity of nervous system interference
• Gentle adjustments calibrated to the child's nervous system capacity—"less is more" approach
• Kids Summit in Barcelona (September 13-14) featuring expert speakers on pediatric chiropractic techniques

Visit the Kids Summit in Barcelona to learn from pediatric chiropractic experts and support research into chiropractic care for children.
