Praise For: Evaluation and Correction of the Vestibular System: Determining Balance, Coordination, and Processing Issues
Hear directly from our students about the benefits of our program.Dr. Jan Filip Depauw
Atlas/Axis dural restriction Exam, well explained differentiation between primary descending pattern or ascending pattern and the interactions, the understanding of importance to give treatments to children/babies early enough.
Professionally we were very well trained for the ascending body lesion pattern but not enough in the descending lesion pattern. I’m very happy to have done the course which supported my thoughts and feelings.
In the past I controlled only the dominance eye test to determine the normal posture. It is clear that if you want to be exact you need to control the vestibular system. With this analysis I found out with a patient with frequent dizziness while dancing and doing pirouettes. She has dominance of the right eye but has dominance of hand, foot and ear on the left side. When closing the left eye while acting, pirouettes clearly less dizziness
No problem to advise this course to other people because of the well explained neurologic interactions. It is so important to treat the body as a system where everything acts together as a whole system. I found this in this course very well explained and stimulates us to search further in the patient his/her problem..
I want to thank you both for your expertise and wanting to share with us. Years ago I bought a book by the chiropractor Jonathan Howat, I was glad to see some slides of him in your presentation. It is chiropractic expertise which must be given further in the next generations. Keep on going.

I took this program because I wanted to learn more about how the vestibular system is implicated in nervous system issues, and how to identify when it is.
I learned about symptoms/signs of over- or under-functioning vestibular cochlear nerve and I learned tests/observations that could point to vestibular malfunction as well as some physical tests to do to confirm occipital side slip or torque.
I have a few more tools to observe/check in with patients and identify if there are potential any vestibular issues.

I took this course to learn new home exercises to give to patients with vestibular and balance concerns.
My three takeaways: 1) Tandem walking as a test and a home exercise 2) reminded me of the importance of pupil response to light 3) testing side dominance.
I have immediately begun incorporating tests into my exam and I’m often testing tandem walk in adults and giving it as homework to improve if it isn’t good.
Thanks for a great course!

I took this program to gain a better understanding of how to interpret and correct issues of the vestibular system.
This program was a good review of the anatomy, the function of the vestibular system and its direct connection to upper cervical subluxation, and assessment of the impairments of the vestibular system.
I am more aware of findings with patients that are to a greater level of just spinal impairment.
I have not been great at assessing occipital findings so I used the occipital notch test a few times in the last week to assess occiput. It definitely helped me make a different subluxation diagnosis. Excited to implement more findings.
Dr. Alisun Klingert
I loved this course I wanted to just brush up on testing for vestibular issues and look deeper at the cranial adjustments.
I am practicing the vestibular testing more than one time I typically only did it one time but am finding changes sometimes doing it more than once.
I loved doing this on my own timing. I also learn so much better having the notes in front of me so I appreciate this style of learning.
