Why People Don’t Trust Your Practice (It’s Not What You Say)

In this episode of The Questing Chiropractor, Nimrod sits down with Dorte Bladt to explore purpose, pediatric chiropractic, and the deeper human connection behind meaningful practice.

Dorte shares her journey from early passion for working with children to refining a clear purpose: helping more children be checked and supported from the very start of life. But this conversation goes far beyond technique or tactics.

They unpack:

• Why chiropractic should not be positioned as a treatment model
• The danger of reducing care to symptoms instead of removing interference
• The power of connection, trust, and presence in practice
• Why many chiropractors feel disconnected and how to rebuild “the tribe”
• The challenge of reaching modern audiences without losing the message
• How calm, safe environments often matter more than information
• The evolving role of chiropractors in a disconnected world

This is a conversation about purpose, communication, and connection and how chiropractors can expand their impact without compromising their values.
