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.

It is always a pleasure to take a class with Dr. Rosen. Each time, I learn more and feel more confident in my skills in Pediatrics and Cranial Adjusting. This introduction to Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting is well organised and easy to follow with plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

As a chiropractor focusing on the nervous system, I couldn’t leave out 80%. I had seen clinical success with other doctors and wanted to learn more about how I can better help patients. I recommend this course because it is easy to follow along from start to finish and implement the skills the next day. As a doc in my first of practice, this intro cranial course was highly valuable to the success of my clinical practice. Since this is little cranial work addressed in school, it was necessary for me to gain a better understanding of how to analyze and correct patient’s cranials. Definitely worth the investment. I look forward to other courses to build on this knowledge. Drs. Rosen and Watson are extremely knowledgeable. What a privilege to learn from such caring souls!

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.

Can a Chiropractic Adjustment Be Both Gentle and Highly Specific? Chiropractic low-intensity spinal adjusting uses precise positioning, specific contacts and neurologically informed reflex responses to support gentle correction without forcing motion. Through precise positioning and the facilitation of the body’s proprioceptive and nociceptive reflexes, it helps restore structural balance by encouraging the body to return to its optimal state of ease.
In this online program, Dr. Martin Rosen teaches chiropractors how to evaluate and address cervical, thoracic, lumbar and pelvic dysfunction/subluxation using low-intensity procedures. Participants learn neurological indicators, contact points, positioning principles, adjusting sequences and re-evaluation procedures they can use with specificity and confidence, especially when high-velocity adjusting may not be appropriate or preferred.
The Peak Potential Institute is excited to present Dr. Courtney Neill’s online program, “The Role of Primitive Reflexes in Neurological Organization.” This course explores the foundational role primitive reflexes play in brain development and neurological organization—and how chiropractors can apply this understanding in clinical practice.
This comprehensive online course delves into the anatomy and functionality of the vestibular system, emphasizing its role in balance, posture, coordination, and sensory processing. Participants will learn to evaluate and identify deficits and imbalances affecting overall health and functional capacity as well as adjusting protocols to address these issues.
