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.

After 37 years in practice, I took the Introduction to Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting course this past winter. Having wanted to learn about cranial adjusting for a while, I turned to the experts and was glad that I did. This is a very thorough introduction, which gave me the knowledge, understanding and tools to be able to begin to implement what I learned from the course into my practice. I liked the online format as I could get to the materials at my convenience and also review the notes and watch (and rewatch) the videos until I understood what was being taught. My questions were all answered quickly and completely in the Facebook group.
For those familiar with Cranial adjusting, I would imagine this is a good review and will help with the nuances of the technique. For those, like me, who are novices, it’s a great way to start.

Recently I had the pleasure of taking Peak Potential Institutes online Introduction to Cranial Adjusting class. I had previous experience learning from Drs. Rosen & Watson through the ICPA. There was so much knowledge and experience to be shared it was a little overwhelming. I was a student back then and those weekend seminars felt a lot like drinking water from a fire hose in addition to all the information my brain was already processing. I definitely learned the value of cranial adjusting but I wasn’t able to integrate the technique into my work in clinic and upon graduating I joined an established practice that didn’t use cranial adjusting in their systems. Fast forward to private practice, I began to notice that while I often got great results with my practice members sometimes I’d hit a wall. Either people didn’t get better or they couldn’t hold their adjustment. Cranial adjusting would always come up for me and I was feeling pretty frustrated at the need to refer these cases to a local CST for resolution. So, I began to seriously revisit the idea of learning this powerful work when I saw this course. To be honest, I was a little unsure about how effective taking a technique class online would be. I’m so glad I set those concerns aside though because let me tell you; unlike those weekend seminars I had a front row seat. The videos were at once informative but short and to the point making them easy to assimilate. They were not rushed and were organized in a very effective and easy to understand manner. I replayed many of them which you can’t do live and I even had the option to slow the speed of the video if I needed extra time to absorb what was being said. The videos were supplemented with transcripts, excellent notes, homework to help integrate the skills, multiple opportunities to connect via zoom and ask questions and an active Facebook community from which I learned a lot by others questions. At the end of this course I am equipped with several techniques and parameters for when to use them that have already improved my clinical outcomes. If you are considering taking this course I cannot recommend it highly enough. It’s well worth the investment in yourself and your practice members. I’m looking forward to diving deeper into the topic with further modules as time goes on.

I wanted to take this class to gain knowledge in order to be able to better treat children (and adults) in my practice. There was great basic knowledge of cranial anatomy and a great base of cranial adjustments as well as learning to feel the different pulses and movements in the cranial region. I have more confidence in treating TMJ problems and helping my pediatric patients. I had an adult patient with a TMJ problem that was not resolving with my typical treatment. Now I know how to release the sphenoid and frontal bone and was able to get him to heal. Thank you for a great class! It was all new information to me, so I was overwhelmed as first. I kept watching the videos over and over and by the end, I felt as though It was really coming together for me.
