    “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!”

    “I took this course so that I would feel more confident with my pediatric patients. I wanted to expand the way that I analyzed their nervous system and corrected their subluxations.

    My biggest takeaways that I have shared with others have been:
    1. The first 2 hours of each seminar when Dr. Marty dives into neurology and subluxation, along with where our world is today with healthcare and why it is so important for children to receive chiropractic care
    2. There is nowhere else that I’m familiar with where you get this level of philosophy, technique, and clinical knowledge all in one
    3. Everyone who takes this says that their confidence and skill with pediatric patients grew exponentially after this course

    Personally, it was great to meet and connect with other chiropractors who share this philosophy and passion for pediatric chiropractic. Professionally, as I mentioned, this has boosted my confidence with pediatric patients and expanded my knowledge on neurology.

    A pediatric patient came in because he was failing his hearing tests at school and at the pediatrician, so they recommended tubes. The mother was uncomfortable with this, and heard about us through another parent. The child presented with a noticeable internal temporal on the left. After around 5 adjustments of clearing the cervical spine, adjusting the internal temporal, and performing the sphenobasilar adjustment, he not only had noticeably improved hearing, but went on to pass his pediatrician’s hearing test.

    I had an amazing experience. I was in a place both personally and professionally to immediately begin to incorporate this information and it has been very important to my growth as a chiropractor. In an ideal world, I believe any chiropractor who treats pediatric patients should take this course multiple times, but for now I’ll have to settle with sending as many people to it as possible.

    You both are so respected and admired in our profession. Thank you for all the work you’ve done and continue to do.”
