Sphenobasilar Mechanism: Assessment & Correction
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.

Dr. Tereshel Johnson
“I took this course because I wanted an in depth understanding of evaluating and correcting sphenobasilar subluxations
After learning these I use them on almost every baby. I had to no idea the sphenobasilar is so important. Chiro school did not cover this material.
I really appreciate all the help and guidance.”

Dr. Alicia Loaiza
“I took this program to gain more info regarding cranial function and correction.
I used this technique on adult patients with known birth trauma, both emotional and structural release of sphenobasilar.
I would recommend this program, good information presented. Thank you.”

Every time I study with Martin and Nancy, I learn new things. It’s amazing the difference we can make in a child’s life when we have the right knowledge to treat specific cases. Babies with problems that we see daily considered “normal,” such as lack of latch or weak sucking, for example, are things we can help children continue to breastfeed after cranial correction, in addition to other more specific “symptoms.”
It gave me more confidence to treat patients with cranial misalignments. I still felt insecure with some protocols, I have to confess, but after these classes it’s as if the insecurity has gone away, and I feel ready to confidently make adjustments and transform more lives with chiropractic!
Absolutely would recommend this course, because just knowing that we can turn children into healthier adults through adjustments already changes the entire perspective of a future generation with fewer “problems” that could be caused by bodily adaptations due to misalignments.
I want to thank you for accepting and offering more courses for us in Brazil, and thank Lilian for being the bridge between you and us. It has always been a dream since college to specialize in pediatrics, but I thought it was a very distant dream, and in 3 years since graduating I am taking my 2nd course with you, thank you!
