We have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Stephanie Libs, a pediatric chiropractor based out of San Diego!
Dr. Steph tells us the story of her first labor and birth and how she applied her own chiropractic knowledge and training after her first baby was born with a loss of hearing in one ear.
Listen in to hear her amazing story and to find out why a mother would want to bring her newborn in for a chiropractic check up after birth, what chiropractors look for, and differences in babies' development with chiropractic care!
