Visual Analysis – It’s Role in Determining Cranial Distortion/Subluxation Patterns

Before your hands ever touch the patient, your eyes should already be identifying the story their cranium is telling.

This online seminar with Dr. Martin Rosen introduces the essential skill of visual cranial analysis—a foundational tool for identifying cranial distortion and subluxation patterns. Learn how to detect subtle asymmetries and visual indicators that reflect deeper neurological imbalances and structural compensations. Whether you’re new to cranial work or refining your observational skills, this training will enhance your precision and clinical confidence.

See What Others Miss. Visual analysis is more than observation—it’s a diagnostic gateway to the structure-function relationship within the cranium. This seminar will help you sharpen your perception, identify key distortion patterns, and deliver more precise and effective care.

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. Kelly Kimball

    Visual analysis is difficult, and practice is key.

    This program has kept me accountable in practicing visual analysis/cranial adjusting and continuing to improve my clinical skills.

    I was able to identify a maxilla subluxation I would have previously missed.

    Yes, I would recommend this course. This course is pure chiropractic and helpful to refine skills.

    I have really enjoyed all of your courses so far.

    This program helped me further train my eye for skull analysis. It significantly refines one’s skills and helps us gain even greater knowledge and confidence when making adjustments.

    The confidence in how we communicate with patients, the realization – even deeper now – of our importance in the lives of everyone who passes through our hands, and the opportunity to learn from you – all of this transforms my life.

    In addition to learning how to assess, explain, and demonstrate asymmetries to parents – enabling them to understand the condition and help other families by raising awareness about the importance of correcting cranial issues—I also emphasize that this is not merely a cosmetic concern, as many people tend to believe. I had a particularly interesting case involving a 41-year-old adult patient who reported significant difficulty breathing through his nose; he suffered from frequent sinusitis and recurring ear infections in his right ear, which, to him, constantly felt blocked. After just a single adjustment session, he sent me the following message: “Lilian, just wanted to give you some feedback… both my nostrils are clear now, and I’m breathing so—really, *so* much better. It’s been ages since I’ve felt like this!” He also reported that, following the session, he experienced a discharge of secretions that he felt had been trapped in his facial sinuses for years. A few months later, he reported that he had not suffered from sinusitis or ear infections since that time—and added that his wife absolutely loved me because his snoring had improved so dramatically! (lol)

    Without a doubt, I would recommend this course. Learning from this couple transforms your practice—and it’s completely addictive!

    I love you guys!!!

    My three takeaways: Content is great – well-spoken – importance of movement of the cranium in development.

    This program made me feel more clinically capable in diagnosis of cranial imbalances.

    My own son has a temporal imbalance that I had noted since birth and had worked but with the course I seem to have made greater changes in the few short weeks I have been working with him.

    Yes, I would recommend this course.
