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.
What You’ll Learn
- The anatomical and physiological pathways of the vagus nerve and its impact on systemic health
- How to evaluate for vagus nerve involvement through observable signs and palpation indicators

I took this program because I want to learn more about cranial evaluation and adjustments, and more about the vagus nerve in general.
My three takeaways are:
1. Dr. Rosen has an incredible wealth of knowledge.
2. You are taught things you can immediately implement into your practice.
3. Cranial work can help so many “symptoms” that babies/kids are experiencing.I look at people differently now, I see babies that seem really cute yet also have so much distortion that I wouldn’t have seen before. And ditto for adults.
I appreciate being able to go back and watch these videos multiple times since it’s so much to learn, it’s helping it sink in more. And I like doing it at my own pace/schedule.

This program is well organized with a precise, strong take home message to practice.
This brings me a new tool to treat my patients.
I would definitely recommend this course. It is easy to learn and practice as we go step by step in the process with a strong review at the end to pull it all in place. Many thanks.

This was incredibly worthwhile as each week had a bite sized amount of content so you can really learn the material at a good pace, and implement what you’ve learned on the table. I loved the drip content and the Q and A sessions that brought everything together and in a practical way. I loved the adjustment technique for addressing an anterior atlas and first rib. I am using these adjustments daily! I am already incorporating it in practice. The different places for vagus nerve entrapment, the new adjustments I’ve learned, and how to assess the occiput and upper neck especially, with more intent and specificity.
I would recommend this course, because the material is SO relevant in this day and age, especially when dealing with the downfall of the pandemic and the huge increase in vagal nerve dysfunction. The assessment is straightforward, gentle, and specific.
I have been caring for the pediatric population for over 14 years now and I absolutely love it. What I found extremely beneficial about this course is its relevance to this period of time, the clarity it has brought me with regards to how and where the vagus nerve can be compressed/tractioned, and how we can be so specific in our analysis and adjustments to really help our patients. I found the bite sized weekly classes perfect. I found the videos very beneficial, and do NOT MISS the Q and A sessions for more clarity. I really looked forward to each week as we went through the course, and the homework helped me really learn the material. Even though I could not be physically present, I found this layout to be a great pace for me, and hopefully when I can get back to in person learning, I will be that much more informed to really get the most out of the hands-on learning. Thank you for an awesome 10 weeks!
