Introduction to Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting (CCA)

In this 3-month chiropractic cranial adjusting class, you will learn the functional anatomy and physiology of cranial bone motion, cerebrospinal fluid mechanics, and specific cranial landmarks and indicators to facilitate both your understanding and application of cranial adjusting techniques.

CCA is a specific, comprehensive, and efficient methodology to correct cranial bone imbalances and access the other 80% of the CNS. With these techniques, you can improve patient outcomes, make more effective and stable spinal corrections, become the expert in your area, attract and help more people consistently and safely.

CCA will allow you to expand your practice and patient care to the next level while at the same time creating confidence and consistency in your personal skill set. Imagine getting constant referrals from colleagues and other health care practitioners for your ability to help patients in need when others cannot.

For those who want to continue to grow, move forward, and become a true expert in CCA, this course is also a stepping-stone towards the Institute’s other cranial adjusting courses. This class will give you the skills to understand cranial dynamics, their effect on the overall health of your patients, and the skills to make a drastic impact on your patient’s ability to heal.

Feedback From Our Students


  • Angela Taylor, DC

    Take this Intro to Cranial Course before the Cranial Immersion or the Pediatric Class. If I had taken this first, it would’ve made the pediatric course easier since some of the concepts were repeated in both courses. Practice, practice, practice. The more patients I worked with, the easier these techniques became and the more sensitive my fingers were to the CSF pulses. Trust the technique. Even when I wasn’t sure if I did something right, I would hear great feedback from patients and see changes even if I was using a new technique that I wasn’t 100% comfortable with yet. I finish each adjustment now with some cranial balancing and patients LOVE it. I know I am offering something no other DC in the area can do. I had a patient with swollen glands on her left side and severe ear pain and congestion come to me, and by working on her with these techniques, she had instant relief of her symptoms and her lymph nodes were back to normal by the next day.

    I took this course in hopes to expand my pediatric knowledge and refine my skill set. I felt this course provided exactly that. Drs. Martin and Nancy are not only brilliant in the field, but their willingness to help and desire for you to learn is immense. It makes the course so much better. The material has a significant impact on your practice immediately. It allowed me to help so many more kids in the office in ways I wasn’t able to before. The material is heavy, but it’s presented in a digestible way as well done through Q & As that help guide you.

    Personally, I feel more confident as a doctor and have provided my kids with better care.

    Professionally, I feel I provide my patients and community a better facility with more tools at my disposal. Almost immediately after completing the course, my daughter suffered what appeared to be a concussion. Using specific cranial adjusting methods from this course, I was able to confidently help her in ways I wouldn’t have before.

    The program and the material should be a part of the school curriculum. It’s so impactful and addresses subluxation and tension in ways I couldn’t without it. Both Doctors are incredibly bright but also very kind and helpful.

    I appreciate the notes and the written transcript Doc. The entire system works very efficiently. Well done.
