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

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.

Dr. Robert LaRusso
My three takeaways:
1. Enhanced assessment skills.
2. Greater understanding of the overall mechanics of the Cranio-facial interaction.
3. Integration of the findings associated with symptomatology.This class has made me really busy! Great “stuff” happens everyday.
YES!!! I would recommend this course. I will happily address this subject at the seminars!
I love learning from you both…personally and professionally. It doesn’t get dull, boring, or old! It just gets better, better, and better!

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!!!

Can a Chiropractic Adjustment Be Both Gentle and Highly Specific? Chiropractic low-intensity spinal adjusting uses precise positioning, specific contacts and neurologically informed reflex responses to support gentle correction without forcing motion. Through precise positioning and the facilitation of the body’s proprioceptive and nociceptive reflexes, it helps restore structural balance by encouraging the body to return to its optimal state of ease.
In this online program, Dr. Martin Rosen teaches chiropractors how to evaluate and address cervical, thoracic, lumbar and pelvic dysfunction/subluxation using low-intensity procedures. Participants learn neurological indicators, contact points, positioning principles, adjusting sequences and re-evaluation procedures they can use with specificity and confidence, especially when high-velocity adjusting may not be appropriate or preferred.
This comprehensive online course delves into the anatomy and functionality of the vestibular system, emphasizing its role in balance, posture, coordination, and sensory processing. Participants will learn to evaluate and identify deficits and imbalances affecting overall health and functional capacity as well as adjusting protocols to address these issues.
Cranial distortion patterns, including Plagiocephaly now affects nearly 1 in 2 infants, yet many practitioners are trained to view it as cosmetic rather than neurological and biomechanical. This comprehensive program is designed specifically for chiropractors who want a clear, structured protocol for evaluating and managing cranial asymmetry with precision and confidence.
This course goes far beyond identifying a “flat head.” You will learn how plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly reflect deeper dural meningeal tension patterns, cranial base distortions, spinal involvement, and CSF imbalance, all of which influence growth, posture, and neurological organization.
