“I took this program because I wanted to expand and deepen my knowledge on pediatric chiropractic care and also start learning cranial work so that I can better help my community on Aruba.

My three takeaways:
1. Having a thorough examination and history in order to get a whole picture of the patient and to get a baseline and a place to start.
2. Less is more with pediatric patients
3. The importance to get pediatrician patients to get checked as early as possible in order to balance their system and make long lasting changes if required

Personally it has given me a greater awareness of the growth and development of my own child and the children of friends and family. Professionally it has given me new tools and a framework to work from. I have been having difficulty starting to start working on children since my thoughts and skills felt like they were all over the place and very unorganized even the way I have to explain the importance was at least for me sounding very confusing and this program has given me the ability to streamline everything and with that building my confidence. I am now taking proper steps to build in these new skills in my practice and I am so excited for it.

I am just starting to build my pediatric practice but have a young preemie patient I have been working on his TMJ and palate from a possible tongue tie and since we started he has not needed to do a revision and he is thriving.

I definitely would recommend this course. It’s a beautifully comprehensive program that guides you step by step in working with the pediatric population. The guidance from Facebook, via email, the live session and the learning videos are beyond words. You are fully supported from start to finish and beyond.

This program is an overwhelming amazing experience. I have gained so much insight and knowledge that I am beyond excited. I have found a program that has guided me in how to start my pediatric practice and where to go to expand on it. If you want to work with a pediatric population but struggle where or how to start like me then this program is the best investment in order to do so. Also if you have an interest in cranial work this also helps you start in that regard.

I am just very blessed that Dr. Rosen suggested that I do the program. And cannot wait to do the live sessions with Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson.”

The importance of every child and baby to get checked by a chiropractor. That chiropractors can treat so much more than just spinal/joint issues. The role and importance of the dural- meningeal system and how it relates to the vitality and health of a patient.

I feel that I can make so much more of a positive change in babies, children and parents’ lives. One really positive story I can share was that I treated a 3-month-old Down syndrome baby whose mom was at the absolute brink of despair as she was pumping full time day and night to provide breastmilk for her baby. She was so close to giving up on the night pumping and supplementing with formula because she was so exhausted from constantly waking up at night. They struggled with breastfeeding from day 1: her baby had low motor tone, poor core strength, breastfeeding was uncoordinated and she tired easily at the breast and most times would just end up rejecting her breast or falling asleep after a few minutes. She was only able to breastfeed with a nipple shield. Often breastfeeding would last 1-2 minutes max, the longest she breastfed for was 5 minutes and that was only very occasionally at night if she caught her baby at the “right” time and it was only on the one breast – i.e..” dream feeding”, but only when she was sleepy enough but not too sleepy, not too hungry otherwise she was just fussy at the breast – there was a very fine line and she only managed to get it right a couple of times). Mom had exclusively breastfed her 2 previous children until age 2, naturally birthed all her babies and was headset on breastfeeding her Down Syndrome baby, at least for the first year (she came into my office, just hoping to get to 6 months but not thinking she would even make that). She sat in my office chair and cried because she was so tired of pumping around the clock and she was about to give up on their exclusive pumping feeds at night, possibly during the day too as it was all just getting too much for her, especially with other children to look after. After 1 chiropractic treatment, her 3-month-old baby was able to latch and effectively breastfeed from both breasts for 10-15minutes on each side. She went from exclusively pumping to exclusively breastfeeding off the breast within 1 week of her first chiropractic treatment and it saved her mom’s sanity! She is now able to breastfeed at night (without a shield) and can go out in public without having to pump and prep a bottle beforehand. She is forever grateful for Chiropractic. This was after seeing Lactation Consultants, craniosacral therapists and physiotherapists. 1 Chiropractic treatment was all it took for them to go from exclusive pumping to exclusive breastfeeding after 3 months of struggling. Powerful stuff!

I used the ear infection protocol on an active ear infection of a 5-year-old little boy who came in crying with acute ear pain and a fever. 2 hours after his chiro treatment, his fever broke and his ear pain went away – in his mom’s words “he went back to his normal self like nothing had happened”.

Yes, of course I would recommend it to others! It is probably the most in-depth and comprehensive chiropractic course I’ve taken – worth every cent! And it’s very interesting to be able to treat the cranial aspect of things.
