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.

Corey presented to the Kiro Kids clinic in Ballarat, Australia complaining of low back pain and a limp. At first thought, this seems to be an obvious chiropractic case and one we should do really well with.

But this was not a typical mechanical low back pain case, as back pain in 6 year olds seldom is. A careful clinical history and examination revealed the diagnosis.

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.
