Praise For: Evaluation and Corrections for Vagus Nerve Involvement

I’ve decided to take this course because I wanted to deepen my knowledge about the vagus nerve function and imbalances and how to address it when it gets compressed/tractioned. The program is very well structured, with a good learning pace. Knowing the widespread effect that vagus nerve dysfunction can have in the body and learning how to correct it provides us with a more holistic approach. Techniques learned in this program are well explained, in a practical way.

Since I’ve taken this program I was able to better evaluate both pediatric and adult patients in regards to symptomatology related to the autonomic nervous system. This has had a profound impact in how patients recover overall health and wellbeing. I used these techniques with an adult patient with several digestive issues plus symptomatology in the Cervical and Upper Thoracic Region. Upon evaluation, I found a left occipital compression, with a right occipital sideslip. After correcting the occiput, I’ve checked the atlas, 1st rib, diaphragm and psoas, correcting what was involved using the techniques taught in the program. I’ve finished the session with the temporal bone evaluation and correction. The patient was amazed with the change he felt on those digestive issues (dramatically improved reflux).

Just want to appreciate once more all the work that you’ve put into making these programs available to us…. Thank you!!

I took this program to learn more about how to better identify and resolve vagus nerve restrictions. The vagus nerve is one of the most important things to evaluate in so many situations. While there is a lot to remember, just take things one step at a time to help each patient in the way they need. More chiropractors need to know this information!!!

I feel I am able to better evaluate and treat the occiput, especially in infants. A mom brought a newborn to me that was not latching well at all, no lip or tongue ties and suckling (on finger) was not being done well. Baby had a slight head tilt to the right with a lower occiput on the right. After doing an occipital correction alone, the baby started to latch much better, along with a huge improvement in suckling. Atlas also needed correction.

They do a great job breaking the information down into small, easy to learn stages, with more information than I was ever taught in school!

The Vagus Nerve has a central relevance in the development of adaptation to stress, disorders in the functioning of this nerve can condition the development of various pathologies.

My takeaways from the program:
1. Excellent training and very complete.
2. Obtaining knowledge about the foundation for the various techniques.
3. Techniques that are learned and are immediately applicable.
4. Learning system with resolution of doubts.
5. Objective utility when complementing with exams such as the HRV.

This program has allowed me to more effectively improve symptoms such as pain, headache and cognitive problems. It has given me the tools to clearly demonstrate the benefits of Chiropractic beyond pain management.

I used these techniques and not only did it resolve the headache, but I also measured his change in HRV pre and post adjustment, and the change was clear and noticeable. Incredible experience.

I highly recommend this program, essential, clear, complete, concise, and above all with the complement of being able to clarify your doubts. The experience of Doctors Watson and Rosen is invaluable and I am honored to have been able to participate in this experience.

I took this course to gain a deeper understanding of how chiropractic adjustments can enhance and support the vagus nerve specifically. I feel that in the last few years I have seen a lot of unqualified health practitioners/life coaches, etc. throwing the term ‘vagal tone’ and downplaying its role by listing vague exercises that people can do to enhance it without any assessment or understanding of it. Sometimes I have parents that come in and say they’ve googled things to help their child develop vagal tone etc. As a chiropractor that stresses the importance of a well-regulated nervous system and having the knowledge and tools to do so, it made sense for me to do a course specifically dedicated to the vagus nerve to benefit my clients.

This course has given me more clarity and depth to how chiropractic adjustments specifically address where the vagus nerve may be irritated. In particular, I’ve found it more helpful with explaining to Mums when they bring in their bubs, how a small adjustment at the correct place can change a whole host of symptoms that bub is presenting with. You don’t need to correct everything head to toe, just spend more time trying to locate the area where the irritation is. I’m even spending less time in the session as I’m looking for certain findings. The course has given me more specificity when assessing clients and adjusting with a plan and how to recheck after the adjustment instead of relying on Mums reporting the issue is improving.

I’m applying the knowledge from this course more with my paediatric clients. From applying my SOT knowledge, it was common for me to perform dural releases, clear out the occiput (normally traction or posterior), sacrum and HH and ICV releases. It was the first time I had heard of to also check the 1st rib/clavicle and anterior Atlas. It makes sense when you follow the vagus nerves path along the osseous structures! This assessment is part of my adjusting protocols now and I have found that with every paediatric client that the results and alleviation of symptoms are much faster. i.e. I’m seeing faster results in the visit and by the 2nd 3rd visit already. I was getting good results before but now I know and am seeing even better and faster results. The assessment and corrections for the vagus nerve makes sense, is clinically relevant and parents get it.
Thanks for creating a great and well thought out course for chiropractors to learn and benefit from. It’s very versatile and can easily be incorporated into care regardless of technique preference.

I loved learning about the vagus nerve points in the abdomen. I love how you discussed the atlas involvement as separate sides as it hasn’t fused and I loved watching it done on a child, older child and adult.

I perform vagus adjustments on most patients now and always check for tender points in the hands etc. I am much more conscious about vagal involvement and feel this course bridged a huge gap in my skill set so thank you!

I would recommend this course. It is straight forward, easy to digest videos and short videos, which for a mum is essential!

Have done several courses now and always find them amazing so thank you!
