My three takeaways from this course:
Slow release of modules accommodates busy schedules. Doctor Sharing allows for communication with the Doctors to discuss real-life situations Dr. Marty knows his stuff – he is a credit to the profession.

This course has helped demystify the TMJ not only in adults, but in the peds patient. People need options for care of the TMJ and there hasn’t been anything out there on the alternative side quite like this course.

Early in the course, while working with patients and trying to apply what was learned, I noticed an improvement of jaw motion, decreased pain, and decreased clicking. Later I realized that I hadn’t even done the adjustment correctly and still had improvement. Since I have fine-tuned my adjustment.

I would recommend this course if you want a slow release of info at a pace that wouldn’t be overwhelming to a doctor with a busy practice and life.

Thanks for the obvious time and effort put into the course.

After taking the Introduction to Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting and Pediatric Certificate program I enjoyed this deeper dive into the evaluation and treatment of TMJ cases in both pediatric and adult patients. The evaluation protocol has been a great addition to my practice, and I made an exam form to follow based on this class. The indicators that are taught to find the cranial area to begin treatment were also very beneficial. Being able to explain how there can be a descending pattern to the pelvis and an ascending pattern to the TMJ has been the most helpful in communicating with those I am correlating with.

The evaluation protocol has allowed me to have more certainty in where to start my treatment with patients with TMD. I have seen quicker results in my patients implementing these techniques. It also gave me certainty that I will have to make a plan to address my own bite/TMD to stabilize my pelvic issues. Much of the information will be beneficial in further communicating the necessity of chiropractic care to the dental, myofunctional, orthodontic and surgical providers in the airway study group I am a member of.

I have been using the information taught as it was released each week throughout the last 10 months. I have had many patients presenting with TMD that was not even the primary concern that brought them to my practice. However, I was amazed at how it was a part of their chronic pelvic dysfunction and low back pain. Quite a few totally oblivious to the level of tension they were also holding in their neck all these years. I have had many kids and adults going through orthodontic treatment that helped adapt to the changes in their bite and kept them more comfortable and functioning better.

This course is a wonderful addition to any doctor’s practice. It is especially beneficial to those wanting to work alongside the orthodontists, dentists, and myofunctional therapists in their community. It helps in communicating the global effect these issues can have.

Three takeaways would be that this course is 1. easily digestible with the amount of information that is given at a time 2. The information allows you to have a deeper understanding of TMJ versus any other seminar I’ve taken. 3. The videos at the end of the course with the demonstrations allow you to have a hands-on experience at home.

This program has personally helped me with my own children who have been dealing with airway and bruxism issues. Being able to apply the knowledge at home has been wonderful.

I am not currently practicing but have been practicing the techniques with my own children.

I would recommend this course for anyone wanting to upgrade their TMJ adjusting skills. If they treat these types of issues, they should be fixing the root cause. Simply adjusting the TMJ without addressing the cranium is missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course.
