Christian and Mike are two Paediatric Chiropractors who love any excuse to talk about their favourite subject...kids.

In this episode they tackle Hip Dysplasia: from the nuances of testing, to the timing of diagnoses and even some Italian phrases thrown into mix.

This isn't a lecture, this is two passionate chiro's talking about paediatrics

enjoy!
