Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development

I took this class as a refresher on facial distortion patterns and how to correct them. I was also interested in digging deeper into retained reflexes.

This program reviewed how to do a baby cranial exam. It was a good reference for parents and other practitioners needing an understanding of how the baby can be helped with chiropractic care and it was a good review of reflexes and time frames for them.

Thus course has helped me do better exams and helped me understand retained reflexes better.

I have a baby that came into the office with failure to put on weight and constantly throwing up. He was tiny and grumpy and at 3 months had not put on any weight from birth. I did a more thorough exam than I might have before and started adjusting him and working with his cranials and he is not throwing up as much. He is getting bigger and thriving and his head is not flat on the right side any more.

It was a good class. Thank you.

I took this program for further understanding of infant health issues and ways chiropractors can adjust or help them.

It was a great review of infant anatomy and health problems infants may have.

It has refreshed me on the anatomy of infant development and I have learned more about infant health problems and signs to look for and I have more certainty in evaluating infants for cranial problems.

I took it to gain more knowledge on specific facial patterns I see on the daily to help me identify what’s going on better. It was more entry level than I thought, but I gained some basics that will help me relate to parents.

This is a general course that gives you a broad awareness of cranial distortions and why is important. It’s given me some tools, but I’m going to build on this through working through some of the previous course material to help me correct the distortions I see on the table

I would say I’m more show and tell on the table with parents and can help them understand the importance of what I’m seeing that is often not why the parent brought their child in, but relates to it so much. I really enjoy learning this work.

I took this course because my daughter took a fall at the playground and landed on her face. Her right orbit hit the edge of a steel structure. Since then I noticed asymmetries in her face that I wanted to know how to treat.

I will definitely be sharing this program with my colleagues because there is a small window in which chiropractors can bring on great change in a child’s nervous system development. Primitive reflexes and milestones are the building blocks to a child’s nervous system development and helping to identify and help integrate these will greatly help children develop properly. Identifying tongue ties and informing parents on their options for care is so incredibly important in helping them navigate their infant’s first year of life.

It gave me tools to assess retained reflexes in my kids as well as my patients.

I looked for retained spinal Galant reflex in a child who was said to be disruptive in school and had too many meltdowns according to his mom. He was positive for the retained reflex. I treated him during his adjustment sessions and also gave mom more exercises to do at home and she said his behavior improved.

I have always loved your seminars and content. I just wish the material was presented a bit more slowly. It’s like drinking from a fire hose at times. The slides and transcripts are very helpful. Reading from the teleprompter, not so much. Overall it was a wonderful course. Thank you for sharing this knowledge!

I wanted to learn what signs to look for in infants that may tip off that there are some cranial imbalances that need to be addressed

I’d say one would be to observe, observe, observe – notice details in the face, skull, etc. The other would be that there are things that can be addressed at home if mild, such as placing toys on the restricted side in the instance of torticollis, for example. Third would be the innate intelligence of the body mindset toward potential and growth – I think this is the accurate frame to convey this to patients.

Gave useful information so parents can know when to intervene early to put kids on the best trajectory of potential/development.
