I want to thank you both for teaching such vital and important information!

A while back I told you both about my son. He struggled with chronic ear infections, constant sinus blockages, mouth breathing, sleep apnea, and snoring. About a year ago (before I started working on him) I took him to the dentist, and he said that he would need a palate expander to correct his high arched palate as well as his cross bite. I told him that I was just starting your pediatric certificate course and that I planned to work on his palate. As excited and encouraging as he was to hear that, he also cautioned me and told me he has never seen a crossbite resolve without using a palate expander. He told me he was excited to help me track my son’s progress with my treatments and in a year we would re-assess and see if he needed the palate expander.

Today we re-assessed his palate. Before examining my son he asked me how he had been doing. I told him that his chronic ear infections had stopped, his sinus blockages were less, his mouth breathing only occurs when he has a cold, and his sleep apnea and snoring were gone. Although I admitted that his palate was still very high and his teeth still seemed pretty crowded.

The dentist then examined him, and I wish I could have caught his facial reaction on video. He told me that in all his years in dentistry he had never seen a cross bite resolve without an expander, until today. He told me that if this was his child he would not put in a palate expander and he would continue to do whatever I was doing.

I just want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart. We have gone through so many challenges with my son and I am beyond thrilled to have made this progress with him. Because of what you both taught me, we have canceled his tonsil and adenoid surgery, avoided many antibiotics for bilateral ear infections, saved me many sleepless nights making sure he is breathing, and making his twin sister so happy that he no longer snores so she can get a restful night sleep.

I look forward to taking more courses with you in the near future!

“My practice is pointed towards caring for children so I am always looking to add to my toolbox ways to improve my technique and better serve the kids that come through my door.

My three takeaways: 1. The nuance of cranial adjusting takes time to learn, but it pays off in dividends once you get the hang of it. 2. CSF balancing is life changing for kids on the spectrum 3. Take the time to perform a thoughtful and thorough exam. This reveals the primary issues and helps the client progress quickly and completely.

This course has impacted me professionally by enabling me to use different techniques with my more challenging clients. One boy in my practice made marked improvement when I switched his adjustment from activator to a more nuanced SOT approach. Personally, I was a bit overwhelmed because I added a second office to my practice, so I fell a fair bit behind and catching up was an undertaking, but I am glad I made the time!

I have a young girl on the spectrum that I have been seeing for months. We saw some improvements in the first few months, but the progress had plateaued and I decided to add in CSF balancing and checking for internally rotated maxilla. Since adding those adjustments in, she has made marked strides, most notably her speaking has gone from garbled slurring to clear words.

I would recommend this course for other chiropractors interested in pediatrics but specifically for those taking care of a autistic population. Using these techniques can help their sensitive nervous systems in a way that more aggressive techniques cannot.

I got behind on this course because my practice pace has increased this year, but I am so glad I made the time to finish because the techniques I have learned have been invaluable in caring for my clients! I would advise that any provider considering this course ask themselves ‘could I give the absolute best possible care to any child that walks through my door today?’ If your answer is anything less than a 1000% yes, you need this course.

Thank you for imparting your wisdom!”

“I Have wanted to work with cranials ever since starting practice, took a course from Dr. Rosen in ICPA course, and decided it was time!

My three takeaways 1. The most thorough understanding of the anatomy of the cranium. 2. How balancing the cranium affects neurologic development. 3. Multiple ways of addressing issues, having such a large toolbox to use.

I love to learn and I feel more confident in my practice. Over the course I have integrated the work and am noticing a huge difference in the healing of my pediatric population.

I have an 18 month old with respiratory issues. I do upper cervical work but always felt like I was missing something. Doing CSF balancing, sphenoid, and frontal fruit jar technique were a game changer.. also noticing the shape of head changing that parents noticed!

I absolutely would this program, at the core of balancing the nervous system, this is a must for working with pediatrics, especially given all the palate issues that are arising.

I loved the way the course was laid out in smaller sections. There is so much to learn and it makes the information more manageable when trying to put it all together. Chiropractors that want to change neurodevelopment in pediatrics would benefit immensely from this course. The CTA’s gave opportunities to apply to patients throughout the course. There was always support and community from Drs. Rosen and Watson, it is so obvious how much they love this work and want to share it.

I don’t know if a follow up, or a potential ‘refresher’ course is offered. Given the amount of information it is impossible to get it all in one go-around. Great course.”

“I took this program because I wanted to expand and deepen my knowledge on pediatric chiropractic care and also start learning cranial work so that I can better help my community on Aruba.

My three takeaways:
1. Having a thorough examination and history in order to get a whole picture of the patient and to get a baseline and a place to start.
2. Less is more with pediatric patients
3. The importance to get pediatrician patients to get checked as early as possible in order to balance their system and make long lasting changes if required

Personally it has given me a greater awareness of the growth and development of my own child and the children of friends and family. Professionally it has given me new tools and a framework to work from. I have been having difficulty starting to start working on children since my thoughts and skills felt like they were all over the place and very unorganized even the way I have to explain the importance was at least for me sounding very confusing and this program has given me the ability to streamline everything and with that building my confidence. I am now taking proper steps to build in these new skills in my practice and I am so excited for it.

I am just starting to build my pediatric practice but have a young preemie patient I have been working on his TMJ and palate from a possible tongue tie and since we started he has not needed to do a revision and he is thriving.

I definitely would recommend this course. It’s a beautifully comprehensive program that guides you step by step in working with the pediatric population. The guidance from Facebook, via email, the live session and the learning videos are beyond words. You are fully supported from start to finish and beyond.

This program is an overwhelming amazing experience. I have gained so much insight and knowledge that I am beyond excited. I have found a program that has guided me in how to start my pediatric practice and where to go to expand on it. If you want to work with a pediatric population but struggle where or how to start like me then this program is the best investment in order to do so. Also if you have an interest in cranial work this also helps you start in that regard.

I am just very blessed that Dr. Rosen suggested that I do the program. And cannot wait to do the live sessions with Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson.”

“I decided to take this course to refine my adjusting skills for the pediatric population. I was hoping to simply gain more knowledge and feel more comfortable with that population.

Online access makes it easier to go at your own pace and is more convenient to balance family, work and education. Very informative and supportive group throughout the program.

I am definitely more comfortable with cranials now as my knowledge prior to the program was very minimal and I have also started implementing some of it on the adult population. I also stepped up my game in spinal adjusting with the pediatric population.

I have a child with ADHD who came due to issues with sleeping. He would wake up in the middle of the night and go join his parents every single night. I have been adjusting him and doing cranial and while he still wakes up in the middle of the night, we still have been seeing improvements. He has been falling asleep faster, he has now transferred to the couch instead of his parents’ bedroom and he is sleeping longer. We are slowly working our way towards better sleeping habits.

I think there should be a disclaimer that a big part of the program is intra-oral adjustments. As a chiropractor working in NYS, I will not be able to use any of these techniques and I feel like my money was wasted in some kind of way. It is very informative, but I think the program is too long. I feel like it should be given in bouts with some “resting” periods so that we don’t lose track or interest due to the heaviness of the material.

Chiropractic school does not teach us enough about pediatric adjusting and I think this program is a great addition to our training.”
