Vagus Nerve Evaluation and Correction Protocols
Vagus Nerve Evaluation and Correction Protocols
The vagus nerve plays a vital role in autonomic nervous system regulation, affecting everything from digestion and immune response to heart rate, mood, and inflammation. Misalignments or tension patterns in the upper cervical spine, cranium, and dural system can interfere with vagal tone—contributing to a host of symptoms in both pediatric and adult populations.
In this on-demand online training, you’ll learn how to identify and correct vagus nerve imbalances using specific chiropractic techniques. This course offers a step-by-step breakdown of the neurological anatomy and physiology of the vagus nerve and outlines the practical, hands-on protocols to address its involvement.
Whether you’re caring for newborns with latching issues, children with gut-brain axis imbalances, or adults experiencing chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, or anxiety-related symptoms—this class will give you the clinical tools you need to confidently assess and support vagus nerve function.

Knowing how global the effects of vagus nerve could impact on our body, I wish to learn the way to evaluate and correct these.
I learnt how to evaluate a vagus nerve distortion, and the techniques and protocol for it.
Since quite a lot of the patients in my clinic do show certain signs of vagus nerve irritation, most commonly due to a chronic stressful environment. I find the vagus reflex points useful as an add-on to my usual practice.
Thanks a lot for teaching us such a comprehensive protocol.

I decided to take this course after completing the hands-on Pediatric SOT course in Tampa this winter, I wanted to better understand the Vagus nerve and how to correct it. Amazing material and instruction, amazing doctors that love what they do and wonderful availability for questions/follow up.
Personally, this course has allowed me to better help my family. I took this course to gain a better understanding of the vagus nerve and how to correct it because my son was in need of correction, as well as other family members. And professionally it has helped build my confidence because not only did 1 extremely difficult pediatric case walk into my office but 3 did. And after taking Dr. Rosen hands on and online course, my confidence in being able to not only understand the problem but also correct it has gone up tremendously.
Newborn infant came in with cranial distortions and 2 hematomas. Inability to latch well with mom and refuse the bottle. After a few short weeks the hematomas had disappeared and the cranium was starting to look a lot better. Latch got very good with mom’s breast; however a few months later we are still working on latching to a bottle. Baby is almost 5 months and hitting milestones great. However, I know we have made great progress. I was really hoping I could help the baby to take a bottle. Overall really happy with the progress this baby is currently making, we are still working on making more progress!
I really appreciate the time and effort you both have put into this course and the rest of the courses. I really enjoy them! I look forward to taking more!

I took this course because my employer wanted me to take this course to expand knowledge into different patient demographics.
Videos are easy to follow along and the lengths are great for focused study. The information is valuable for the pediatric patient base that we serve but that I am not experienced with yet enough being a new grad.
This is another tool in the toolbox to better patient outcomes.
