Should You Adjust a Baby? The Truth About Pediatric Chiropractic | Dr. Kim Thor-Adams | Ep. 28

Is it crazy or crucial to adjust a baby’s spine? In this episode, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with pediatric chiropractor, author, and national speaker Dr. Kim Thor-Adams to tackle one of the most controversial questions in chiropractic care: Should infants be adjusted?

Dr. Kim shares her powerful personal story, breaks down the science and purpose behind pediatric adjustments, and explains why birth trauma is more common (and impactful) than most parents realize. They discuss how misalignments in a baby’s spine can lead to colic, reflux, constipation, ear infections, and more—and how gentle chiropractic care can help restore function without force or fear.

They also explore:

• The difference between adjusting a baby vs. an adult
• Why C-sections aren’t always the “gentler” birth option
• What signs to look for in toddlers and kids needing chiropractic care
• How to navigate vaccine mandates and school exemptions
• Why prevention—not just symptom management—matters from day one
