I just finished Session 1 with Cohort 2 of the Bloom Intensive.
And I didn’t expect this…
This group is stacked with chiropractors who have been in practice 15+ years.
Seasoned. Busy. Successful.
And instead of getting defensive…
they leaned in.
They said things like,
“I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know.”
“I’ve been missing this.”
“This changes how I see everything.”
That takes humility.
That takes leadership.
That’s who actually gets better.
Because here’s the truth:
Pregnancy care is not chiropractic done more gently on a different population.
And it is not something you casually group in with pediatrics and call it a specialty.
Those are two completely different clinical worlds.
Different physiology.
Different risk profiles.
Different malpractice realities.
If you don’t believe that, look at OBGYN vs pediatric malpractice.
They are not even in the same category.
So why are we treating them like they are?
As a former paramedic, I can tell you this clearly:
Most of what you don’t know won’t hurt 99% of your patients.
But it’s the one you miss.
That’s the difference between “generally helpful” and clinically responsible.
And we were not taught this in school.
Not at the level this requires.
Not the patterns.
Not the load.
Not the clinical reasoning.
Not how to communicate clearly with a pregnant woman who is trying to make sense of what’s happening in her body.
Meanwhile, women are being told everything is normal…
while they’re in pain, losing function, and trying to hold their lives together.
They deserve better than that.
Last week, there was a lot of noise.
People more focused on picking apart words than actually hearing the message.
People making assumptions that weren’t even true.
That’s fine.
Because the chiropractors who are actually doing the work?
They heard it.
They didn’t shut down.
They stepped up.
And to be clear, this is not about attacking chiropractic.
It’s the opposite.
I believe we are perfectly positioned to help this population.
