In this upcoming hour, they will explain, confide, and dish about the varied ways they partner and share in the care of children and families:

• • What are their respective approaches and how do they incorporate them into their practices to maximize the health of children?
  • What is their position on the topics of nutrition, vaccines, preventive health, and the nervous and immune systems?
  • What kinds of acute and chronic conditions do they treat together?

There are different types of medical doctors and different types of chiropractors who practice varying degrees of conventional, integrative, and holistic medicine.
