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.

    Dr. Johnathan Hsiang

    “As a SOT practitioner, treatments involving cranial and dural meningeal systems made me realize that SOT technique can affect children to a greater extent as compared to adults. Therefore I would like to become an expert in pediatric care.

    My three takeaways:

    Understanding the big picture of pediatric care
    Detail oriented on specific technique moves
    The teaching of Dr. Rosen can be directly transformed into easier explanation speech to the parents

    I am more confident with interacting with children and parents. Personally, all the pediatric care knowledge can be applied to my future family.

    I have been using SOT and cranial technique for my pediatric patients however it was done without detailed and tailored examination for children. Now, it is clearer on objective findings and direction for treatments.

    Yes I would recommend this course, as it has helped me become a better Chiropractor.

    As a chiropractor, we need to constantly think about the root subluxation. The way to find it is through systematic examination. This course not only allows you to have more understanding of pediatric care but it can also help you see the big picture of health conditions of any age group.

    Thank you both for creating this high quality course.”

  • Dr. Charles Laughlin

    1. Drs. Rosen and Watson are super approachable and supportive of your growth as a pediatric chiropractor.
    2. The focus is on the adjustment and the effect the adjustment has on the nervous system for the developing child.
    3. I understand more than ever before why kids need chiropractic care.

    This program has transformed my confidence, love, and ability to help pediatric patient.

    Doing intra-oral sphenoid and occipital adjustments, together with other SOT pediatric evaluation/adjusting techniques have impacted the kiddos we see in a positive way. One infant patient I remember became less fussy and enjoyed nervous system function improvements because of the implementation of this work.

    This course helps you build your confidence in helping pediatric patients and helps you truly help them make changes for their continual nervous system growth and development. The material is extensive; however you have a community of doctors ready to help you as you continue to master the material.

    Dr. Rosen, Dr. Watson, Dr. Cooper, Dr. Neill, Dr. Holman, and Dr. Larusso: thank you for being outstanding chiropractors.
