Unlock the Power of the Sphenobasilar Junction: Assessment and Correction Strategies for Lasting Structural Balance

The sphenobasilar junction (SBJ) plays a central role in cranial motion, dural tension, and neurological function. When this vital cranial-articular relationship is imbalanced, it can contribute to a wide range of symptoms—from headaches and TMJ dysfunction to sensory, postural, and developmental challenges.

In this focused online course, you’ll learn to assess and correct sphenobasilar distortions using precise, gentle chiropractic cranial techniques. The SBJ is often a primary site of restriction and compensation, especially in pediatric cases, but it’s just as critical in adult cranial and spinal dynamics.

This course offers chiropractors a deeper understanding of how to evaluate the SBJ both statically and dynamically, identify related cranial and spinal subluxation patterns, and apply effective corrections that can create global structural changes.

What You’ll Learn

  • A detailed review of the anatomy, biomechanics, and neurology of the sphenobasilar junction
  • Visual and practical training on how to assess motion, balance, and distortion in the SBJ
  • Specific cranial correction protocols that restore balance and reduce dural torque
  • Strategies to address associated structural compensations in the cranium and spine

Resources Provided

  • Video class modules
  • Evaluation & technique presentations
  • Practical demonstrations
  • Calls to action (CTAs)
  • Complete PDF workbooks
  • Full transcriptions of video classes
  • Email access to Dr. Rosen & Dr. Watson

Why Take This Course?

  • The SBJ influences cranial dural tension, cerebrospinal fluid flow, and overall postural integrity
  • Correcting distortions at this level can lead to dramatic changes in spinal stability, neurological tone, and functional development
  • Understanding and mastering the sphenobasilar junction empowers you to provide more comprehensive, neurologically-focused care

Who Is This Course For?

Chiropractors who want to:

  • Deepen their cranial adjusting skills and integrate advanced cranial work into their daily practice
  • Address root-cause patterns in patients with chronic postural, neurological, or developmental issues
  • Provide care that goes beyond spinal adjusting to support whole-body function and balance

Whether you’re working with infants, children, or adults, the SBJ is a foundational cranial relationship that must be addressed for optimal results. This course will give you the knowledge and tools to do just that—with clarity, precision, and confidence.

Meet the Instructors

Dr. Martin Rosen, DC, CSCP, CSPP & Dr. Nancy Watson, DC, CSP

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.

Feedback From Our Students

  • Dr. Kim Hyun Mok

    “I took this program for the systematic study and improvement of treatment skills. I recommend this program because you can study a wide range of knowledge in the related field.

  • Dr. Laura McPherson

    “I work with infants daily and I have taken the ICPA courses years ago and wanted to refresh to help improve my skills in this area.

    I have used this technique with oral restrictions, plagiocephaly and torticollis and I have noticed immediate improvement in overall body tension decreasing.

    This program is convenient, provided material at a good pace to be able to review and understand before the next class, but still provided deadlines so I got the work done. Thank you for sharing these classes.”

  • Dr. Pamela Stone

    “I took this program to further understand the movement of the SB junction, so I can make better corrections and explain it to patients better.

    I have been continuing to work on infant care; parents always say the babies do better after the cranial work.

    Any chiropractor working with the pediatric population should take this course because it’s not always about adjusting the atlas; it’s so much more than that. This whole program has really helped me learn more about the specific work we can do with children, it’s very detailed, very specific, can be very complicated, but it can be very beneficial to this population.”
