“I felt limited in my knowledge and skill set when dealing with the pediatric part of my practice. I loved working with babies in particular and have been getting more referrals over the years from MM and baby groups, midwifery offices, etc because I had been helping them. But I could see distortions (especially cranial distortions) but didn’t know how to address what I was seeing. I also didn’t know what to do next with those babies whose issues weren’t totally resolving. I did Dr Rosen’s module with the ICPA and though I found it helpful. I felt like there was a lot more to it. I also wanted to have more knowledge about when a tonal vs structural adjustment was appropriate.

The program is very thorough, Drs. Rosen are incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the material. I have more confidence to try more of the cranial techniques outlined.

I definitely need to continue to go over the material over and over as I gain more experience, but I feel like I have more to offer my patients.

Recently, one of my little patients who I have seen off and on since his birth (he is now 18 months old) came in with sinus congestion for over a week. I adjusted him as I usually do and then did the fruit jar technique cranial adjustments on him at the end, He won’t lie down and I have to adjust him while he is sitting on mom’s lap so I have to adapt my approach. At the next adjustment, mom reported that 15 minutes after leaving my office, his nose/sinuses just started pouring out mucus and he had not been congested since.

I would recommend this course to other DCs who have an interest in deepening their technique and confidence in working with the pediatric population and who would like to add cranial work to their practice.

Though the time commitment to do this course has been pretty intense for me, it has been well worth it. I feel that my knowledge depth and confidence has increased. I do feel that now the real work begins whereby I add and refine the techniques I have learned into my day to day practice. I expect I will get better with more practice and experience. It feels like a lot right now and that I have definitely not retained everything but will continue to evolve as I put more and more of the information I learned into practice.

Thank you for putting together this great program. Honestly I don’t love online format learning generally but I would not have had access to this program otherwise. Being a chiropractor with 23 years’ experience, I definitely got more out of the cranial section of the program which I loved. I will need to go back over many things to get more organized in my head and in my day to day practice. Overall it has been excellent!”

“Specialized Knowledge and Skills: You gain specialized knowledge in the anatomy, physiology, and unique healthcare needs of infants and children. This includes understanding common pediatric conditions, developmental milestones, and appropriate chiropractic techniques tailored for younger patients. Enhanced Diagnostic and Treatment Techniques: The course equips you with enhanced diagnostic and treatment techniques specifically designed for pediatric patients. This includes learning how to perform gentle, safe, and effective adjustments. Improved Patient Care and Practice Growth: With specialized training, you can offer improved care to pediatric patients, addressing their specific health issues more effectively. This can lead to better health outcomes for children and can also help in growing your practice by attracting more families seeking chiropractic care for their children.

This program opened a new world of possibilities in my chiropractic practice. I applied some techniques in my university clinic and I am excited to do it more after graduation.

If you’re a chiropractor looking to expand your practice and enhance your expertise, I highly recommend enrolling in this chiropractic pediatric course. This specialized training offers invaluable insights into the unique needs and health concerns of infants, and children.”

“1. This program has vastly built upon my education with the ICPA 2. Dr. Rosen’s course with ICPA provided great information, but the weekend time frame given made the content very overwhelming. This program being spread out made it much more manageable and digestible and not as intimidating. 3. I am confident that the information presented in this course provides a very holistic approach to treating the pediatric population, especially in the realm of neurological development, an area in which I felt I was lacking prior.

I’ve been practicing the content on my own two children (now 5 months and 2.5 years old.) I’m not currently practicing, but when I do start up again, I now have the competency and confidence in building relationships with my midwife and son’s oral tie revision dentist for patient referrals.

I used the techniques on my now 5 month old son following his tongue tie revision when he was 6 weeks old. The revision alone did not help with the nursing issues like it had with my previous son. The protocols helped with difficulty keeping a latch, air gulping and severe gassiness.

I would recommend this course because it gives a very thorough approach to caring for the pediatric population. I appreciate that there are different techniques that can be used to treat a specific issue, making it accessible to any practitioner/technique.”

“Bueno, decidí tomar este curso primero por la vasta experiencia del Dr Rosen y su profundo conocimiento en el cuidado pediátrico, a esto se agrega la capacidad de enseñar de manera detallada y específica cada elemento del programa de pediatría, pudiendo notar esto en la entrega que pone en cada una de sus clases, aclarando conceptos y dando ejemplos sobre cómo abordar en cada caso.

Además de todo esto, sentía que me faltaba un conocimiento más profundo sobre el manejo pediátrico, más allá de la formación de pregrado y los seminarios de fin de semana. Buscaba una formación con Certificación que fuese lo más completa posible y a la vez accesible desde un lugar tan remoto como Chile. Todo esto lo encontre en este programa del Dr Rosen y aún más.

1. Es un programa muy completo, que incluye manejo craneal y espinal, además de ofrecer demostraciones claras y precisas sobre las técnicas junto con ordenar de manera clara el contenido.
2. Permite el tiempo suficiente entre clase y clase para digerir el conocimiento así como también la posibilidad de aclarar dudas a través de las sesiones regulares de preguntas y respuestas.
3. Tiene una gradualidad temática muy ordenada, pasando de conceptos básicos, al análisis, ajustes y demostraciones hasta terminar en casos de razonamiento y condiciones específicas.

Ha cambiado totalmente la forma de trabajo en mi práctica, ya que si bien se enfoca en pediatría, ofrece herramientas que puedes aplicar desde el mismo dia que las aprendes también en adultos, a través de un abordaje más suave, menos resistido, de tipo tonal con respuestas más rápidas y duraderas en los pacientes.

Recuerdo un caso de un paciente con iliaco PI persistente que luego de los estudios con el programa, note que en realidad el problema de fondo era un sacro AI, aplique técnica sobre el ligamento Sacro-tuberoso y fue increíble como se fue notando la baja en la tension del ligamento así como la modificación de los indicadores a nivel de ligamento nucal. después de ese ajuste no hubo mas alteraciones en la zona Sacroiliaca. en el caso de niños, me ha tocado mas de un bebe con problemas de cólicos que resuelve tras el ajuste espinal.

Solo dar gracias al Dr Rosen y a la Dra Watson por su entrega, por su pasión al enseñar, por su paciencia para educar, por su esfuerzo en cuidar cada detalle, y espero, humildemente poder tener algo de esa chispa que brilla en los ojos de ellos cada vez que hablan de Quiropráctica, Dios les bendiga y sigan enseñando a muchas generaciones mas esta hermosa profesión.”

My three takeaways from this program:
1. Requires commitment, and time. 2. Changes your approach to chiropractic. 3. Improves your practice.

Taking this course has deepened my passion for treating paediatric patients, and therefore my paediatric patient base has grown without needing to increase advertising etc.

Since Starting, every time I have helped a mum and baby improve their breastfeeding journey, has had me in awe of SOT. The one Mum was about to introduce formula because her baby was not gaining weight from exclusive breast feeding, but after the first adjustment, her baby’s latch improved. The mum looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, “it feels so different”. They have not had to introduce formula or bottles yet, and the baby is now 3 months old.

Yes, I would recommend this program. SOT is a different approach to chiropractic to what we were taught. I have learnt so much more over the 10 months, even though this is the second time I’ve done this course.

There is so much content, it is easy to get a little lost, especially if SOT is new to you. I found myself re-listening, re-reading over and over again. I think access to the videos for a little longer is incredibly valuable. Thank you Drs. Marty and Nancy for teaching your knowledge and creating a legacy.
