Dr. Hewitt introduces the five key questions to ask during the history to document the potential presence of joint dysfunction in infants. Ranging from in utero health through the process of labor and delivery, attendees will learn about the protective mechanisms built into the birth process, as well as the impacts on the newborn’s musculoskeletal system when a birth doesn’t go as planned. Dr. Hewitt will pepper her instruction with clinical pearls from her 32 years of experience in pediatric practice.

Dr. Hewitt is Board Certified in Chiropractic Pediatrics and is a Craniosacral Therapist. An alumnus of the University of Colorado, she has been in private practice since graduating Summa Cum Laude from University of Western States College of Chiropractic in 1988. In her waiting-list pediatrics-only practice, Dr. Hewitt specializes in the care of infants.
