Introduction to Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting (CCA)

In this 3-month chiropractic cranial adjusting class, you will learn the functional anatomy and physiology of cranial bone motion, cerebrospinal fluid mechanics, and specific cranial landmarks and indicators to facilitate both your understanding and application of cranial adjusting techniques.

CCA is a specific, comprehensive, and efficient methodology to correct cranial bone imbalances and access the other 80% of the CNS. With these techniques, you can improve patient outcomes, make more effective and stable spinal corrections, become the expert in your area, attract and help more people consistently and safely.

CCA will allow you to expand your practice and patient care to the next level while at the same time creating confidence and consistency in your personal skill set. Imagine getting constant referrals from colleagues and other health care practitioners for your ability to help patients in need when others cannot.

For those who want to continue to grow, move forward, and become a true expert in CCA, this course is also a stepping-stone towards the Institute’s other cranial adjusting courses. This class will give you the skills to understand cranial dynamics, their effect on the overall health of your patients, and the skills to make a drastic impact on your patient’s ability to heal.

    I took this course as I wanted to further my skills in cranial adjusting so I can better serve my patients, particularly my pediatric patients. I have taken Dr Rosen’s in person seminars before, and although those are very helpful as well, there is so much information and being online you are able to pause and go back and go at your own pace. I have already started using these techniques in my practice and they have been really impactful. Specifically in the babies that I take care of that I have tried everything else and nothing has worked. A 4 month old came to my office and her mom described her as a “mad baby”. She cried constantly and the only time she stopped was when she was feeding. The mom was drained and had gone to every specialist she could and nothing was working. The first thing I noticed when she came in was her obvious cranial distortions. I adjusted her and she did not stop crying. I left the room to grab something quick and by the time I was back in the room, she had stopped crying and looked up and actually smiled at her mom. It was so heartwarming and amazing to see how powerful that kind of adjustment was! I got so much out of this course. I think the only thing I struggled with was trying to visualize hand placements and motions over the computer but after going over everything it became more obvious.

    I took this course, I saw the need in the children. I started working in a family practice and there were little ones coming in with helmets. Their heads cake out oddly shaped anyway! So I thought there was something I could do about this. What I have found is that it is wonderful for funky shaped heads AND it has been a monumental shift in my effect with patients of all ages and head shapes! Everyone benefits from this: from adjustments moving more easily, to infant craniums rounding out, to speech development in non-verbal and limited communication autistic children. to adults maladaptation and experiencing panic. (with a THREE MONTH intro class) It’s truly been a climatic key in the path of my practicing. The most surprising takeaway is the profound effects of such little input. I would recommend this course because you are very thorough teachers and clearly care very much about the work you do. This is an astounding course that has immensely affected the people I serve. Thank you very much for sharing your gifts!

  • Dr. Ross Benz, D.C.

    I took this course to obtain the ability to help children in our practice even more. This program had very in depth, excellent content, a no brainer. I feel more confident in taking care of that population. I have had countless feeding improvements along with the ability to help several children already stay out of helmets to thrive. This program was awesome.
