S9:E86 - Dr. Neel Bulchandani: How Bodywork and Chiropractic Medicine Can Support Moms and Babies
Our guest today is Dr. Neel Bulchandani, a holistic chiropractor, bodyworker, movement teacher, podcaster, and philosopher. He utilizes systems thinking in a field he developed called Integrative Airway & Feeding Chiropractic.
He graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2008. He created the Airway Map – a new way of understanding the body’s maladapted patterns from tongue ties, narrow palates, and jaw issues – and from that understanding, he specializes in helping babies, children, and adults heal. He coordinates care with other experts in the airway field, and he has developed protocols for helping optimize outcomes with tongue tie, palate, and jaw surgeries.
He guides patients and practitioners virtually in this work, and he also sees patients in California in Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles.
