Dr. Neil J. Davies has been a chiropractic educator and clinician for over 21 years. In 1986, after many years teaching chiropractic philosophy and techniques at RMIT Melbourne, he was responsible for assembling a team of pediatricians and other educators to create the first ever University level degree course in clinical chiropractic pediatrics.
 
This course, now fully accredited by the University of Wales and delivered to the profession by McTimoney Dr Neil Davies, Chiropractic Author & EducatorCollege of Chiropractic, is currently offered to chiropractors in many countries. Dr Davies is well known as a visiting lecturer and conducts seminars in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe, UK, Ireland, Israel, Sth. Africa and Nth America.
 
In January 2000, Dr Davies founded Kiro Kids, a company which has been engaged in delivering seminars and courses in chiropractic pediatrics and education in 14 countries making it the undisputed leader in the field.
 
In the same year, Dr Davies released his evidence-based text, "Clinical Pediatrics A Clinical Handbook" which relates clinical chiropractic management to pediatrics, with coverage of the key aspects of syndromes most commonly seen by chiropractors working with children.
 
This acclaimed text outlines the essential history-taking, physical assessment, subluxation analysis, diagnosis and management for each syndrome, while addressing relevant pathology of pediatric conditions in as much detail as chiropractors need. No other text offers a perspective on pediatrics that is specifically designed for chiropractic management!
