Introduction to Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting (CCA)
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.

Meet the Instructors
As early as first quarter in chiropractic school they were attracted to each other’s commitment to chiropractic and the pursuit of excellence. Their combined 80 years of personal and clinical and teaching experience, in delivering the chiropractic adjustment is unparalleled in the chiropractic profession. Their international outreach through teaching, writing and lecturing has been a driving force in their personal and professional careers since their first seminar taught together as students, in 1979.
Their years of experience have taught them what works and what does not work to create a successful practice and lifestyle. The more competent and comprehensive your expertise you will find that more patients will seek your services and your practice will grow exponentially.

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 because I was interested in cranial work and wanted to further my cranial interest. The best takeaway was the info I can use now in practice. I would recommend this course because it is a great beginning course in cranial technique.

I took this course to increase my knowledge of cranial work. It will take time and repetition to comprehend the information. I now feel like I will have a greater impact on your lives. Thank you.
More Courses from Peak Potential Institute
This course provides chiropractors with an in-depth understanding of the SOT® (Sacral Occipital Technique) Three Category System. Participants will learn to identify, evaluate, and correct Category I, II, and III subluxation patterns using SOT® adjusting protocols.
This course explores the sacro-occipital respiratory (SOR) motion and its critical role in neuromusculoskeletal balance and dural integrity. Restore rhythmic motion between sacrum and occiput to improve CSF dynamics, postural balance, and structural integrity.
Taught by Dr. Ken Cooper, Lead Instructor – Peak Potential InstituteFor chiropractors and healthcare professionals seeking clarity in the understanding of cranial bone motion and dynamics.
This foundational course offers a clear, clinical framework for understanding the biomechanics behind cranial adjusting.
You’ll learn:
- The four primary motion patterns of the cranium
- We’ll explore how respiratory motion, dural tension, cerebrospinal mechanics and structural relationships (sutures and fontanelles) guide cranial motion, especially in infants where early patterns set the stage for development.
- How these patterns influence individual cranial bones
- Tools to assess proper cranial movement and function
- The impact of subtle restrictions on growth, development, and neurological integrity
