    “My wife and I were blessed to have our daughter, and besides being able to care for her, I sought the need to expand my practice and be able to provide for the pediatric patient. It has always been a passion of mine to advocate for chiropractic as a primary form of health care and felt the best way to enlighten others is by demonstrating how supporting an immature and developing nervous system can help prevent chronic disease and improve health potential.

    After stumbling upon Dr. Martin Rosen and having exposure and practice with the SOT paradigm, I felt this seminar series provided the specific neurological impact and techniques necessary to provide for the pediatric patient. I’m grateful for the time, dedication, and passion Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson have to organize and teach this material and have gained the understanding and skills to confidently provide life changing care for infants, toddlers and adolescents. From the overall specific examination protocols to the chiropractic cranial adjusting skills, this course is truly invaluable and more that I could’ve asked for.

    This course series has demonstrated the importance of a thorough initial evaluation to map out what precisely needs to be addressed in the pediatric patient. In addition, it has provided me with experience to recognize and understand specific neurological indicators and how to treat the patient best. Lastly, the profound importance of supporting the nervous system development and health via specific chiropractic cranial adjusting protocols has given me a tool that can further serve the pediatric patient. Personally, this course has given me confidence to care for my daughter as she continues to grow and develop.

    Professionally, it has allowed me to shift my practice to a more family centered model, encouraging and educating
    practice members that chiropractic is a safe and effective alternative to treating common problems in the pediatric patient.

    I have mainly worked with my daughter and have started incorporating the techniques taught in this course with her. She was experiencing brachycephaly and reflux. After utilizing some specific chiropractic cranial techniques, her reflux subsided. I also connected with a local chiropractor that mainly worked with pediatric patients and to get a second opinion on some of my findings. After they performed their thermography scans and measured heart rate variability, etc., their results found my daughter was considered a wellness patient and explained that usually was not the case considering her age. This reassured me even more that these protocols are an invaluable tool for the developing infant.

    I would recommend this course to other doctors, especially those looking to incorporate pediatrics in their practice. This course not only provides you with specific treatment protocols, but invaluable analysis techniques to properly decipher neurological deficits that may impede the full developmental potential of children. Not only do Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson provide the science and evidence behind pediatric chiropractic, but they offer a hands-on experience that allows you to practice, feel, and experience the techniques taught in real time. I appreciate the passion, hard work, and dedication Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson have offered the chiropractic community. They offer years of knowledge and service that needs to be brought to the forefront for pediatric healthcare.”

    “I wanted to gain further understanding on treating pediatrics, especially with evaluation and adjusting protocols. Pediatrics was an area I was interested in growing in to be able to provide this service that was lacking in my community.

    I think this course is full of information, so much so, that it would be beneficial to take this course multiple times to master the material. Great program to help gain confidence in communicating with the public that chiropractors should be the primary healthcare providers for any child with a neurological deficit. There is a good combination of theory and practical application with a lot of hands on during the course of the seminar.

    Taking this program has increased the amount of tools available when treating pediatric cases. I am finding that results are happening much faster with the new tools that I have been able to slowly implement into our practice. I have also used a lot of the general information learned in the seminar in spinal workshops that we offer to our patient to help increase their knowledge.

    Currently I am working on a severe plagiocephaly case in an infant who has a twin brother with normal cranial alignment. Progress has been made in the severity of the deformity. Mother has noticed significant improvement in the shape of the cranium and also in the head carriage positioning.

    Great course and thank you!”
