Neurological Pain Management in the Pediatric Patient
This class explores gentle, effective strategies for identifying and addressing acute pain in infants and children. Using SOT® protocols, cranial adjusting, specific spinal indicators, and soft tissue balancing techniques practitioners will learn how to manage acute and chronic discomfort, reduce facilitative lesions, and restore neurological balance.
Pain in infants and children is often misunderstood, overlooked, or dismissed as “just a phase.” Yet, as chiropractors, we recognize that pain signals underlying dysfunction in the cranial, spinal, neurological or organ systems and when left unaddressed, these patterns can interfere with proper growth and development.
This course provides chiropractors with a clear framework to understand, evaluate, and manage pediatric pain using Sacro Occipital Technique® (SOT®) protocols and cranial adjusting, and soft tissue supportive procedures specifically adapted for children.
This is more than a pain management course. It’s a comprehensive look at how chiropractic care can gently and effectively help children move from distress to comfort.
