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

As a DICCP, most of my patients are pediatric and maternity. I have taken several other of your courses either in person or CDs and I purchased your book as well. I realized I needed to know more about the Vagus Nerve. I see a lot of babies with TOTs and the Vagus Nerve is significant in those cases for sure.
I specifically mapped out a defined protocol to methodically evaluate how to determine Vagus nerve impact and then how to correct each section depending on where it may be impacted in patients of all ages.
I am much more confident in educating patients about the impact of the Vagus Nerve as well as evaluating and correcting Vagus Nerve compression and tension.
I have a lot of babies coming in daily for treatment with TOTs and associated GI, sleep, etc issues so I have been gradually applying this information in every case.
The program has been extremely helpful and I need to review it all again thoroughly and solidify it a lot more. I really liked the 3 reviews that you did because they seemed to put the pieces together more for me. I found I had to rewind the same section several times and still need to review it all again because at times things were talked through very quickly.

I loved learning about the vagus nerve points in the abdomen. I love how you discussed the atlas involvement as separate sides as it hasn’t fused and I loved watching it done on a child, older child and adult.
I perform vagus adjustments on most patients now and always check for tender points in the hands etc. I am much more conscious about vagal involvement and feel this course bridged a huge gap in my skill set so thank you!
I would recommend this course. It is straight forward, easy to digest videos and short videos, which for a mum is essential!
Have done several courses now and always find them amazing so thank you!

I took this program because I found it interesting and relevant to my day to day work. I found it comprehensive, thorough and informative. I now see things in my patients and I understand why the people I know are the way they are.
I had a patient presented with a previous diagnosis of Meniere’s Disease. Reported 5 years of symptoms. I followed the steps of clearing Occiput-C2 meningeal restriction, osseous misalignment, then Vagus procedures, as per this course, blocked Category II and applied basic cranial procedures. Then specific cranial procedures and CMRT for Vagus, as per this course. 3 Weeks later the patient texted me a lovely picture of her snorkeling in the Caribbean with her family.
This is a convenient, informative and interesting way to learn the chiropractic study I value the most.
