As early as first quarter in chiropractic school they were attracted to each other’s commitment to chiropractic and the pursuit of excellence.  Their combined 80 years of personal and clinical and teaching experience, in delivering the chiropractic adjustment is unparalleled in the chiropractic profession.  Their international outreach through teaching, writing and lecturing has been a driving force in their personal and professional careers since their first seminar taught together as students, in 1979.

Their years of experience have taught them what works and what does not work to create a successful practice and lifestyle. The more competent and comprehensive your expertise you will find that more patients will seek your services and your practice will grow exponentially.

Feedback from Our Students

    My takeaways:
    1. A much-structured way of approaching pediatric assessment.
    2. A better understanding of spinal and cranial findings and how they can guide clinical decision making.
    3. The importance of having a clear process of assessment, correction and recheck.

    Professionally, the program has given me a much clearer framework for pediatric assessment and care. Although I have not yet had the opportunity to treat infants in practice. Personally, it has also encouraged me to continue developing my knowledge in pediatric chiropractic rather than approaching it simply as a smaller version of adult care.

    I haven’t had the opportunity to apply the techniques with an infant in clinical practice yet. To be honest, I’m also not 100% confident at this stage, as I’m still learning, reviewing and trying to fully understand the concepts and techniques taught in the program. There is a lot of information to take in, and I feel that building confidence will come with continued study and eventually more hands-on experience. However, the program has given me a much clearer framework and foundation for pediatric assessment, and I now have a better idea of what I need to look for and continue working on before applying it in practice.

    Yes. I would recommend it to chiropractors who are interested in pediatric care and want a structured framework rather than simply learning a collection of techniques. The program goes into considerable depth and has helped me understand the reasoning behind the assessment and correction process.

    I really appreciate the depth of knowledge and clinical experience shared throughout the program. Thank you to Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson for sharing their knowledge and experience so generously.

    “Complete, Interesting, No waste of time!

    This program has given me so many tools to help babies. My treatments are way more complete and the efficacy is really there.

    I have had some issues treating babies with strong digestive issues. With the occipital fibers, it is way easier to target where the major subluxations are and have results sooner.

    I have already recommended this course. It is a must if you want to include babies and children in your practice. It gives advice and ways to handle pediatric conditions.”
