Clinical Rounds
with Dr Neil J Davies D.C.

I am pleased to introduce a new series of podcasts on clinical cases seen in the Kiro Kids clinics in Western Victoria, Australia. These cases are intended to be instructive in widening your perspective of subluxation assessment and diagnosis of medical disorders seen in everyday practice.

 

Six year old William has developed a limp. There is no history of trauma, he has just started to limp and it has been going on for a few weeks now. The most common cause of limping from a non-traumatic onset in a 6 year old boy would be irritable hip syndrome, but Perthe’s disease and infection have to be ruled out.

But this was something quite different. Listen to Dr Neil J Davies, CEO of Kiro Kids and author of the popular text Chiropractic Pediatrics A Clinical Handbook discuss this challenging case.  

Chiropractors, like all health professionals, are fallible and their ability to recognise disorders requiring medical attention rests entirely on the ability to perform comprehensive clinical history and a thorough, clinically relevant physical examination.

It has been my experience that chiropractors who routinely perform due diligence in taking the case history and performing physical examinations have a better than average rate of recognition of these disorders, simply because they practice the time honoured steps of their art over and over.

It was with this in mind that we built our range of physical examination teaching products and I highly recommend any newcomer to Kiro Kids to carefully inspect our range and specials.

We welcome you to our journey of learning
and to the world of Kiro Kids.
