Evaluation and Corrections of the Sphenobasilar
How Would You Like to Have the Key to Unlock the Cranium and Make an Impact on the Other 80% of the CNS? Mastering the art of correcting and balancing the sphenobasilar mechanism is the key to creating a consistent, effective, and efficient patient outcome while at the same time growing your practice from the inside.
In this ONLINE program, you will learn the anatomy and physiology of the Sphenobasilar mechanism, what the most common distortion patterns are and how to evaluate and correct interference to the function of the sphenobasilar symphysis. The demonstrations, workshopping and lecture format will give you the ability to implement these protocols Monday morning in your office. You will be able to help more people and become the go-to expert in your community.
The sphenobasilar symphysis is the most mobile joint in the cranium. The sphenoid articulates with all the cranial bones except the nasal and lacrimal, it provides conduits for 9 of the 12 cranial bones and plays a major role in establishing proper cranial facial dynamics.
Besides functional growth and developmental parameters of the cranium, it affects the tension in the dural meningeal system, movement of cerebrospinal fluid and helps lay the foundation for proper neurological development. If you would like to get better more consistent results with your more challenging patients, have a greater effect on the other 80% of the CNS, grow your practice with constant referrals, become the go-to chiropractor in your area and have more fun in practice then this course is for you.

Feedback from Our Students
Dr. Elizabeth Sanchez Nunez
“I took this program because my son had significant birth trauma and as well as a tongue tie and I wanted to be more comfortable with the adjustment of sphenobasilar.
I did a direct pathway adjustment on my son’s sphenoid which was lateral on the right after birth trauma. The change was visible soon after the adjustment.
The course is easy to follow and very complete. The technique is simple to apply after watching the videos and Dr. Rosen and Watson are always there to answer any questions. I highly recommend this course to anyone working with babies.”
Dr. Kelli Westhues
“I took this course to get started into cranial adjusting. I have a nephew (10 months now) that has plagiocephaly and I was looking for a way to help him. I’m hoping that I will still have the chance to make effective change when I see him since I only get to see him once every few months due to living a few hours away from him.
I am working on implementing the adjusting technique with the few infants I am seeing now that are just getting started under care. I have a 3 month old that I will be seeing for treatment that nurses well on the mother’s right but hurts her mother when nursing on the left. The lactation consultant mentioned how the palate sits differently on that side so I am excited to see if we can make changes and help both mother and baby
The week by week information helps to break it up in to bite size pieces so you don’t get overwhelmed and can do it in down time at work or before/after work without it taking too much time. I liked that I was able to watch the video, take notes, and re-watch for anything that I may have missed. The call to action assignments helped draw attention to the most important points which are great things to be able to communicate to parents when treating their children.
Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson are a wealth of knowledge. I wish I had the ability to shadow or intern with them long term to really be able to take in a quarter of the information they have to offer because I know it will help me to change so many lives in my practice in the Midwest!”
Dr. Lok Yan Joanne Cheng
“I took this course to learn a proper way to diagnose the distortional pattern in the upper cervical region and the dural meningeal system, and how to correct it.
I would recommend this course because being specific and knowing what to correct is the key for us chiropractors. This is my second course with the Peak Potential Institute. Their courses have always been giving us new perspectives yet practical skills to be applied clinically. I would definitely attend more courses with them.”
