How Would You Like to Have the Key to Unlock the Cranium and Make an Impact on the Other 80% of the CNS? Mastering the art of correcting and balancing the sphenobasilar mechanism is the key to creating a consistent, effective, and efficient patient outcome while at the same time growing your practice from the inside.
In this ONLINE program, you will learn the anatomy and physiology of the Sphenobasilar mechanism, what the most common distortion patterns are and how to evaluate and correct interference to the function of the sphenobasilar symphysis. The demonstrations, workshopping and lecture format will give you the ability to implement these protocols Monday morning in your office. You will be able to help more people and become the go-to expert in your community.
The sphenobasilar symphysis is the most mobile joint in the cranium. The sphenoid articulates with all the cranial bones except the nasal and lacrimal, it provides conduits for 9 of the 12 cranial bones and plays a major role in establishing proper cranial facial dynamics.
Besides functional growth and developmental parameters of the cranium, it affects the tension in the dural meningeal system, movement of cerebrospinal fluid and helps lay the foundation for proper neurological development. If you would like to get better more consistent results with your more challenging patients, have a greater effect on the other 80% of the CNS, grow your practice with constant referrals, become the go-to chiropractor in your area and have more fun in practice then this course is for you.

Feedback from Our Students
Dr. Yusri Khir Johari
“I took this program because I wanted to improve my understanding of the Sphenobasilar mechanisms
Any chiropractor who would like to improve their understanding of cranials, specifically regarding the Sphenobasilar system, should do this.”
Dr. Tai Hong Andrew Lung
“I took this course because some patients may not be capable of typical chiropractic adjustment and may need another kind of adjustment without a thrust. Hence, I am seeking another technique to balance the patient’s spinal system in a more gentle way.
I would recommend this course as I think the information you delivered is very inspiring, and I would like to find out more in the other lectures to be organized in the future. Thanks for your instruction; I am looking forward to using the skills in my daily practice very soon.”
Dr. Lilian Aliberti
“I decided to take this course knowing the importance of sphenobasilar in the treatment of my patients.
I used this technique with a 7-month-old baby with facial asymmetry, who had never slept more than 2 hours in a row and had great difficulty eating, and had a lot of gag reflexes. After the corrections I learned in the course, she slept for 4:30 the first night, and the next day she ate without any gags, after a few more sessions the asymmetry disappeared. Her mother said it was a miracle!
This course is incredible, the way Martin and Nancy explain it is very easy to understand and be able to put it into practice straight away. Learning about the sphenobasilar is very important when you want to work with craniopathy. So, don’t miss this course!
I’m a fan of this couple and learning from them is addictive. I take all the courses and every time I feel thirsty for more.”
