Feedback from Our Students


  • John McAtamney, DC
  • Dr. Alex Ashby

    My three takeaways:
    1. The examination protocols are incredibly thorough and give you a systematic way to evaluate pediatric patients.
    2. The techniques are gentle, specific, and immediately applicable in clinical practice.
    3. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson do an excellent job explaining not just how to perform the techniques, but why they matter

    Professionally, it has given me much more confidence evaluating and caring for infants and children. Personally, it has changed how I view the developing nervous system and has given me a greater appreciation for the impact early assessment and intervention can have

    I recently evaluated an infant using the pre-ambulatory examination, including the Atlas/Axis dural restriction assessment and occipital fiber analysis, which helped identify upper cervical and dural tension. After applying the appropriate gentle correction, the infant relaxed noticeably during the visit, and the parents later reported improved comfort, easier nursing, and better sleep over the following few days.

    Yes, I would recommend this program. Whether you’re new to pediatric chiropractic or already seeing children, this program provides practical examination procedures, adjusting techniques, and clinical reasoning that you can start using immediately

    Thank you both for creating such a detailed and clinically applicable program. Your passion for pediatric chiropractic is evident throughout the course, and I appreciate your willingness.

    This brought my analysis of infants, cranial adjustments and overall care to be night and day better than before. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about it.

    It has personally and professionally grown my confidence in knowing what and how to adjust babies better. And helped my daughter get adjusted in the best possible ways!

    Our clinic sees a lot of babies for ties as we are the go-to for the lactation consultants in our area. We are now seeing better and faster results! Specifically, we had a baby not too long ago who had palate issues and with what I’ve learned we resolved them relatively quickly!

    Yes, definitely would recommend this program. I would recommend it to any doc who wants to grow their confidence and knowledge in every aspect of pediatric care!
