We are proud to offer one of the most comprehensive pediatric certification programs in the chiropractic profession. With over 80 years of combined clinical practice and teaching experience, our commitment to education and chiropractic excellence is second to none.

If you share our passion for advancing patient care through precise and effective adjusting techniques, we invite you to join our community and embark on a journey towards professional excellence with us.

Our Pediatric Certificate Program provides two avenues for certification: a 10-month online program and a 48-hour hybrid (16 hours online, 32 hours in-person) seminar series. Upon completing either of these programs, participants will be listed in our exclusive Pediatric Referral Directory and invited to join our membership program.

    “Having taken the online program, I wanted to see the techniques in person, and have more opportunity to practice.

    My three takeaways are:
    1. That preparation is really important for the classes, in order to be able to get the most out of them.
    2. That there is a lot of technical information, and it’s necessarily complex. It may take a while, but as it becomes clearer, there is enormous benefit.
    3. That you’ll use these techniques every day in your practice.

    This program has given me a much more technical approach to cranial work, as well as a system for approaching chiropractic that I resonate with.

    I use many of these techniques, and I often see dramatic changes in a short period of time.

    I think this body of work is a significant undertaking, so it’s best if you can devote some time to diving in deeply. At the same time, there are techniques that I was able to implement after just taking one weekend class, so know that you will receive something useful, no matter how you approach it.

    Thank you.”

    “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.”
