    “I decided to take this course as a recent graduate wanting to expand my knowledge in SOT specific pediatric adjusting programs. Having young kids myself with certain visual cranial subluxation patterns, I wanted to study from trusted instructors so that I would be able to implement my own techniques for my children and pediatric patients in practice.

    If you have any desire to see a pediatric population in your practice, it is imperative to take specific courses geared toward chiropractic cranial and spinal adjusting and this course covers everything comprehensively in which you are able to implement the techniques into your office immediately after learning the techniques and analysis. It is absolutely worth every penny to travel and study with such highly experienced and talented doctors if you It is going to take thousands upon thousands of hours of study, patient encounters, and time spent perfecting craft with trusted colleagues to become an expert; however, it is possible and it is evident with the many doctors that show up over and over again to seminars across the country. Well, done to all!

    The emotional healing I have experienced personally in watching my 2 year old daughter unwind from maladaptive cranial subluxation patterns and blossom into a vibrant, chatty, and wonderfully expressed daughter – due to the connection and patient care of a fellow colleague that has studied with Drs. Rosen and Watson – is worth more than gold to me. I am forever grateful personally. Professionally, I have seen craniums begin to balance with the processes that are learned in this program when implemented properly. Having graduated only years ago, I feel blessed to start my career off strong and confident in my clinical care for the pediatric population in my community.

    I began care of an infant born with severe torticollis and sacral subluxation due to frank breech fetal positioning and watched this sweet baby relax and have a bowel movement shortly after her first adjustment and mother’s report that she latched well. She had been inconsolable and not feeding well since her birth the week prior. After creating a strong spinal foundation, I began to perform the chiropractic cranial adjusting techniques on this patient and watched her entire cranium and face reshape itself by truly focusing my best efforts on her occipital and sphenobasilar subluxations. The parents reported an incredible change overall in the patient’s entire demeanor, health, and sleep patterns due to her care.

    I am honored and grateful to have been able to travel from Iowa to three different states to attend these seminars. It is an incredible amount of information and when supported with continued attendance and study of their ancillary textbooks, it is practice changing. After I started this program I watched my practice demographic thrive and grow in numbers. It is worth the investment to bring highly effective and skilled training to your community if you can. Your patients as little as days old —to walking into the office with a cane will be grateful for the techniques you learn overall in the program.

    I want to reiterate to anyone considering studying and taking the programs Drs. Rosen and Watson have to offer, I highly urge you to take that jump! These two have been instructing for 40+ years and have a wealth of knowledge ready to share with the next generation of pediatric chiropractors!”

    “My three takeaways:
    1. Comprehensive Pediatric Spine Evaluation and Correction: The program provided an in-depth understanding of how to properly evaluate and correct the pediatric spine, enhancing my ability to address spinal issues in children effectively.
    2. Early Adjustment for Optimal Development: I learned the critical importance of adjusting children from birth to support maximum brain and neurological development, emphasizing the need for early chiropractic interventions.
    3. Invaluable Cranial Adjusting Techniques: The cranial adjusting techniques taught in the program have significantly improved my results, particularly for pediatric patients with neurological issues, highlighting the value of specialized cranial care in pediatric chiropractic practice.

    Personally, the program has enhanced my understanding and passion for pediatric chiropractic care. It has deepened my appreciation for the vital role early adjustments play in children’s neurological and overall development, reinforcing my commitment to providing the best care possible for young patients. This knowledge has also strengthened my confidence in treating pediatric cases, knowing that I can make a significant positive impact on their health and well-being from an early age. Professionally, the program has been transformative. It has equipped me with advanced skills and techniques for evaluating and correcting pediatric spines, as well as invaluable cranial adjusting methods. These enhancements have improved my clinical outcomes, particularly for children with neurological issues. As a result, I am now able to offer more comprehensive and effective care to my pediatric patients, setting a higher standard in my practice and distinguishing myself as a specialist in pediatric chiropractic care.

    A personal experience that highlights the impact of the program on my practice involves a six-year-old boy with severe autism who was experiencing daily seizures. When he first came to see me, we focused on his gut health through functional medicine, and although we saw some positive results, his progress eventually stalled. While I was taking this program, I began using the pediatric adjusting techniques I learned. Almost immediately, there were noticeable improvements. The most significant changes happened when I started implementing the cranial adjusting techniques taught in the program. The transformation was remarkable. His seizures decreased significantly, from daily occurrences to once every two weeks. The boy, who had been very aggressive, became calm enough that his mother could reason with him. He stopped biting and pinching his mother multiple times a day. His balance also improved significantly, and he went from struggling to walk properly to having much better coordination. Now, he happily comes to see me and lays on the table calmly while I adjust him, without screaming. And it only took six weeks to see these substantial results. This experience underscored the immense value of the skills and techniques I gained from the program. It has made a substantial difference in my practice and, more importantly, in the lives of the children and families I work with.

    I would highly recommend this course to other chiropractors who work with children or desire to work with children. The program provides an invaluable set of skills and techniques that can significantly enhance your practice. Through this course, I gained advanced knowledge in evaluating and correcting the pediatric spine, as well as cranial adjusting techniques that have made a substantial difference in my clinical outcomes. The practical applications of these techniques have been transformative, as evidenced by the remarkable progress of my patients, like a six-year-old boy with severe autism whose seizures and aggressive behaviors dramatically improved. This course equips you with the tools needed to make a profound impact on the health and well-being of your young patients, ultimately elevating the standard of care you can provide. If you are dedicated to advancing your expertise in pediatric chiropractic care and achieving outstanding results for your patients, this course is an essential investment in your professional development.

    I can’t wait to take it again and again! I desire deeply to be an expert in this arena. Thank you so much for bringing this education to us!”
