302 | Our Baby's Physical Therapy and Chiropractor Appointments

The Optimal Body

Here’s what providers can do to be more effective healthcare care providers from assessment, treatment, and plan of care. DocJen and Dr. Dom dive into their experience with a Paediatric chiropractor and physical therapist with their baby, Dante. They discuss Dante’s experience with latching, tongue ties, preferential head turning, and therefore Torticollis. Let’s discuss what to expect from a healthcare provider to optimize treatment success.
