Tune in to this episode as we chat with Hayley Maginess from Elevate Paediatrics as we explore the controversy around Australian chiropractic paediatric care, and talk about the (almost) 27,000 positive reports that came in from parents of paediatric patients, and the ways in which chiropractors are skilled and trained in modifying techniques for little nervous systems. We talk about the research, the outcomes and the most vital times in childhood to get in for care. We also chat with Dr Tyson Perez, one of the ASRF funded researchers who is currently looking into chiropractic and psychoneuroimmunology in an obese population.

In this episode, we catch up with Dr. Imran Khan Niazi, part of the trailblazing team from the New Zealand Chiropractic College and the Centre for Chiropractic Research.

But if anything, this episode is about hope. There's a story in here that will really pull at the heart strings. Enjoy.
