You really learn to assess and treat the cranium as a whole, learning about how all the pieces interact. There are so many techniques to learn in this incredible course. It takes a lot of repetition and practice for these techniques to become second nature.

I feel so much more confident treating infants now that I have more treatment tools. I don’t have any amazing stories to share yet, but I feel that overall, my care is more comprehensive.

Yes, I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a deep dive into pediatric chiropractic adjusting.

My three takeaways:
1. This course provides a good baseline with which to continue SOT studies, explaining the big picture behind each category and how it’s important to address the body in layers.
2. I learned many pediatric specific analysis and techniques that aren’t taught in a standard SOT program.
3. This program reinforces the importance of early intervention.

It’s been great to learn from Drs. Rosen & Watson, given their years of practice experience and depth of knowledge in SOT. It’s helped me better serve my pediatric population.

I would recommend this course to others, but I feel it would be helpful for the person to have some baseline in SOT prior to taking the course.

“My three takeaways from this program:

1. Building the case for kids and chiropractic – especially in the first year of life
2. Powerful exam protocols to gain info to truly see how a child is developing and what techniques to start with
3. Powerful new techniques (tools in the toolbox) to help above and beyond spinal adjustments to be able to help every child with every possible condition.

It has deepened my conviction and confidence around babies being adjusted as early as possible (for ideal cranial and brain development) and not just for their spinal health. I also feel like we are now the pediatric experts in our community (even though we still have years of learning and mastery to go).

We have an infant who wasn’t sleeping more than 2 hours at a time who Dr Mel and I have been using many of these new techniques with and he is not only sleeping through the night but his hematoma is shrinking and his skull is looking more normal.

Thank you both for all your hard work, commitment and passion to get this work into more and more chiropractic practices.”

“I took this class to gain a deeper understanding of pediatric chiropractic and was hoping to gain technical skills to help kids as well as confidence in my technique. Three take-aways would be how to properly diagnose cranial problems, confidence in proper technique and new tools to treat pediatric pain and other difficult issues.

This class has impacted my life because it has given me tools and understanding to help my own children in new ways and better manage their growing and developing nervous systems. Has impacted me professionally by increasing my skills to a place that chiropractic was able to change a life and now parents and other professionals send their babies and children to me for that change.

Had a 4 year old with red ear, active pain, crying. Used dollar sign neutralization technique, ventricular bulb as well as adjusting temporal and occiput. Yes I would recommend this course to all chiropractors who are serious about being specific with their skill and anyone identifying as a pediatric chiropractor. I believe that the skills gained in this class could bring the entire profession to a place where there is no doubt that what we do for children is safe and needed. I think all chiropractors could learn so many different things from this class. The most important thing they will learn is specificity. Something I have noticed for years is the lack of cranial education in our profession, most know there is a certain bone that is wrong and that they ‘adjusted’ it, but are never very clear on how or what they did. This class clarifies the what, when and why very nicely. I now have the skills to identify which way a cranial bone has shifted and have an entire tool box to help each specific issue.

Drs. Marty and Nancy have made learning these topics fun and relevant. I know the future of this specialty is in good hands with these two. I truly believe anyone working with children NEED to take this course.”

Pediatric chiropractic is much more important than I imagined. The necessary adjustment at the right time in a baby’s life can completely change their development.

I am more aware of how necessary it is for people to know about chiropractic and what its real purpose is.

I saw Pablo (1.5 months old) and in June Elena, two siblings with different problems. Pablo was brought in because of dyschezia, and Elena (7 years old) had trouble falling asleep (her parents reported that sometimes it could take her two hours to fall asleep), and once she did, it wasn’t deep sleep (any noise would wake her). Although I didn’t apply any specific technique, the way I began the assessment and determined the necessary adjustments helped me with these children. In Pablo’s case, the dyschezia disappeared after the third session. In Elena’s case, she was able to sleep after the first session (her parents say that she falls asleep as soon as her pillow touches it), and now she loves going for checkups.

It’s a course packed with valuable information that, in my opinion, can only be acquired through many years of practice. This course makes that knowledge readily available for study, analysis, and application in your practice.
