With over 80 years of combined clinical practice and teaching experience, our commitment to education and chiropractic excellence is second to none.

    “My three takeaways:
    1. How important it is to start giving care to newborns as soon as you can to have them function as optimally as they can
    2. We view the body differently and examine the body differently so when hope is getting diminished we offer a new outlet of helping patients improve
    3. To other DCs the amount of education that goes behind preparing the courses is next level. The mastery that Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson along with the assistants are amazing and is something I strive to master at as well

    It has been great to have conversations with patients and family/friends about how gentle yet effective chiropractic is for the pediatric population when all that is generally offered for many situations are drugs or surgery . I’ve personally seen a growth in confidence that I have now seen in the pediatric population. I am still learning a lot but with the little takeaways I’ve been getting from the courses that I have been able to implement it’s already making significant changes.

    I now have kids come to me excited to get on the table and get adjusted, leave giving me hugs and want to adjust their toys. I have a newborn that has having difficulty latching who is now having an easier time.

    I would recommend this course. It’s a lot of material which is amazing because the mastery that when behind developing the program is next level all with the intent of getting patients better. I truly feel every chiropractor should take this course – if they don’t want to specialize in pediatrics that’s fine but at least they then have a deeper understanding and appreciation for what pediatric chiropractors do and how every child should get checked.

    I think you guys do a fantastic job of crossing all your t’s and dotting your i’s to make it easy for all the different types of learners.”

    “This program has a lot of unique information that will take repetition and practice to implement fully. The info can be used in a variety of practice cases and scenarios right away. The program helps give you more communication skills and confidence in what we do as chiropractors.

    I am an analytical learner so I usually don’t feel confident in something until I’ve learned every aspect in detail but with the amount of information shared at each seminar, I had plenty to take home and start working on right away. I feel much more confident working on infants and cranial work.

    I used to struggle with ear infection cases a lot. I would not mess with the cranial adjusting as I thought it was always upper cervical but after starting to implement more focus on the techniques taught in this course, I’m getting much better results in a handful of ear infection cases

    I already had a heavy focus in pediatrics before starting this course but it filled in a lot of gaps in my clinical and communication processes and protocols.

    Keep up the great work! Love the education about the history of the techniques as well as details of how the early years are the most important for neurodevelopmental health.”
