Evaluation & Correction of the Vestibular System
Evaluation & Correction of the Vestibular System: Enhance Neurological Function and Postural Stability Through Targeted Chiropractic Protocols
The vestibular system is a cornerstone of balance, coordination, and spatial awareness—yet it’s often overlooked in traditional chiropractic evaluations. Dysfunction in this system can manifest as poor posture, delayed motor development, sensory integration challenges, and chronic instability in both children and adults.
In this focused online training, you’ll learn how to assess and correct imbalances in the vestibular system using gentle, effective chiropractic and cranial protocols. This course gives you practical, neurologically-based tools to identify dysfunction and restore healthy communication between the inner ear, brain, and spine.
Whether you’re working with pediatric neurodevelopment, adult balance issues, or chronic postural challenges, this class will give you the skills to make a profound difference in your patients’ lives.
What You’ll Learn
- The anatomy and function of the vestibular system and its role in postural regulation
- How to evaluate vestibular integrity through neurological testing and clinical observation
- Chiropractic and cranial adjusting protocols that support vestibular balance and sensory integration
- How vestibular dysfunction affects spinal stability, motor control, and coordination
- Techniques to address compensatory patterns in the cervical spine, cranium, and dural system
Resources Provided
- Video class modules
- Evaluation & technique presentations
- Practical demonstrations
- Calls to action (CTAs)
- Complete PDF workbooks
- Full transcriptions of video classes
- Email access to Dr. Rosen & Dr. Watson
Why Take This Course?
- Vestibular imbalances are often at the root of developmental delays, learning difficulties, and balance disorders
- These protocols offer chiropractors a safe, effective way to influence deep neurological systems
- Restoring vestibular function supports better posture, movement, attention, and overall nervous system regulation
Who Is This Course For?
Chiropractors who want to:
- Expand their neurological and cranial adjusting skill set
- Address root-cause imbalances in patients with sensory, motor, or postural challenges
- Support developmental milestones and balance issues with confidence and clarity
- Deliver more comprehensive, results-driven care in family and pediatric practices
By adding vestibular assessment and correction to your clinical toolbox, you’ll unlock a new level of care—one that addresses foundational neurological patterns and helps patients achieve greater function, stability, and wellness.

Kim Miller, LMT
I decided to take this course because it sounded interesting and I was curious to take a course taught by Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson. I was hoping to gain a better understanding of the vestibular system and apply that knowledge to my massage therapy practice.
Three takeaways I’ve already shared with others are… The bones in the cranium move with every deep breath. The brain and entire body plays a part in maintaining balance. In thinking about the vestibular system, we can’t just look at the inner ear. Our fascial system is all interconnected, which allows for restrictions in the neck to be felt and tested for by observing how the legs react when the head is turned
Having a new expanded understanding of how the body works is influencing my view of my own body and my work already. By knowing more, I am able to notice and respond to different cues from myself and my clients’ bodies.
I have a client who has chronic issues with dizziness. Through the process of taking this course I began approaching my work with her with more of a view of her full spine and alignment. In the past we had focused most of the work on her neck with good results, but not long lasting relief. I’m curious to see if with time she is able to hold on to the improvements longer now that I’m incorporating more work throughout.
I found this class to be very interesting and challenging. Thank you!!!

I took this program to gain a better understanding of how to interpret and correct issues of the vestibular system.
This program was a good review of the anatomy, the function of the vestibular system and its direct connection to upper cervical subluxation, and assessment of the impairments of the vestibular system.
I am more aware of findings with patients that are to a greater level of just spinal impairment.
I have not been great at assessing occipital findings so I used the occipital notch test a few times in the last week to assess occiput. It definitely helped me make a different subluxation diagnosis. Excited to implement more findings.

I took this course to learn new home exercises to give to patients with vestibular and balance concerns.
My three takeaways: 1) Tandem walking as a test and a home exercise 2) reminded me of the importance of pupil response to light 3) testing side dominance.
I have immediately begun incorporating tests into my exam and I’m often testing tandem walk in adults and giving it as homework to improve if it isn’t good.
Thanks for a great course!
