Special Members-Only Course
In-Person SOT® Three Categories Seminar (Charleston, SC – Dec 5-6, 2026)
In this 12-hour, 2-day seminar Drs. Rosen and Watson will guide you through the evaluation, clinical reasoning, and hands-on procedures used to identify and address Category I, Category II, and Category III patterns. The seminar draws from DeJarnette’s category system and emphasizes locating the primary subluxation pattern rather than simply treating the patient’s presenting symptoms.

“I took this course to gain insight and proficiency in caring for my pediatric patients.
Having taken this program, my three takeaways are:
1. The hands on time, setting up on other participants, really helps to solidify the concepts being taught
2. There is so much more potential for neurological improvement with cranial adjusting than I had ever realized, having this new skill is transforming my practice
3. Taking the class in person rather than online is incredibly beneficial. Not just having the opportunity to get hands on, but also being able to network with other like-minded chiropractors and discover other ways to implement these techniques into practice is tremendously helpful.Professionally, taking this course has helped me be able to serve my patients even better than I already have been. I recently used several of the cranial adjusting techniques on a young girl who had been fighting a virus, fever, congestion, cough, etc. for several days. Her mother said within an hour of the adjustment she was up and playing as if not sick at all.
I would recommend that anyone wanting to grow a pediatric practice take this course. The insights and techniques that are taught here have helped me become more well-rounded in my care. The extra tools in my toolbox help me have the confidence to care for a broader base of health concerns.
One of the reasons I would highly recommend taking this course is because patients appreciate the value of continued education. I had one mom say, “I love that you keep learning. It shows that you really care about our kids, you really want to help them heal and be their best.” It doesn’t get better than that!
Thanks, this has been a great course. I really appreciate what I learned in the cranial course specifically. I have applied many of the techniques already, and keep adding new ones each week. Can’t wait for the last course.”

“My three takeaways:
1. How important it is to start giving care to newborns as soon as you can to have them function as optimally as they can
2. We view the body differently and examine the body differently so when hope is getting diminished we offer a new outlet of helping patients improve
3. To other DCs the amount of education that goes behind preparing the courses is next level. The mastery that Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson along with the assistants are amazing and is something I strive to master at as wellIt has been great to have conversations with patients and family/friends about how gentle yet effective chiropractic is for the pediatric population when all that is generally offered for many situations are drugs or surgery . I’ve personally seen a growth in confidence that I have now seen in the pediatric population. I am still learning a lot but with the little takeaways I’ve been getting from the courses that I have been able to implement it’s already making significant changes.
I now have kids come to me excited to get on the table and get adjusted, leave giving me hugs and want to adjust their toys. I have a newborn that has having difficulty latching who is now having an easier time.
I would recommend this course. It’s a lot of material which is amazing because the mastery that when behind developing the program is next level all with the intent of getting patients better. I truly feel every chiropractor should take this course – if they don’t want to specialize in pediatrics that’s fine but at least they then have a deeper understanding and appreciation for what pediatric chiropractors do and how every child should get checked.
I think you guys do a fantastic job of crossing all your t’s and dotting your i’s to make it easy for all the different types of learners.”
