Feedback from Our Students

    Cranial work is so imperative to start early on, and we have the opportunity to make as much change as possible for their entire life. Even if you chose to adjust with different styles of input, the systematic analysis from this is GOLD. Confidence and clarity of structural vs. dural subluxation indicators was a huge take away and make explaining pediatric chiropractic care huge to parents

    I was taught a lot of this information by the head doc, but then to go through this course and actually understand the background made a huge difference, it was much easier to memorize once I was able to learn the 30,000 foot view of it all.

    We had a long term spinal only (TRT) based patient, who in wellness care started talking about how his ears were constantly getting red and hot out of nowhere, he was feeling inflamed, etc. I decided to do the ventricular bulb on him for a few visits and he was feeling like a new person. Then we did a cranial evaluation and now he is under consistent cranial + spinal care and just this week told me how much this work has changed his life.

    So much about this course is important, but more chiropractors need to know and do craniopathy!

    This was fabulous, I have learned so much, and I am looking forward to taking more courses.

    My takeaways:
    1. Being a pediatric chiropractor is more complex than I realized. I thought any chiropractor can adjust babies and children but after completing this course I realized there is so much more to understanding the nervous system and body, especially in an infant and child.
    2. I learned many tools to help analyze and adjust children that I have never come close to learning in any other courses.
    3. I also took away techniques I can use on adults and there were things I could implement immediately after learning.

    I now feel more comfortable and confident when treating my younger patients and this has tremendously helped that population of my practice grow already.

    I had a 2-week-old patient present with his mother that reported a laundry list of issues, one including body tension, she mentioned that his fist was always clenched on the one side. I at this point in the course had created my examination form and followed it. I was confident in my findings and adjusted accordingly. Within a few weeks all symptoms had faded and eventually gone all together. I believe that without some of the specific cranial techniques I used we would not have seen such great results.

    I would highly recommend this course!!

    Thank you for your time and dedication to making this course online, I would not have been able to complete it without that being the case.
