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.

    1. Extremely thorough material; goes really in depth
    2. Other hands-on guides at the seminars really helps make sure it’s being applied as well as possible
    3. There are so many useful techniques that help when you need a variety of different approaches

    I’ve been excited about a new clinical challenge and going back to being a learner. We’ve already had patients improving from additional cranial/SOT work and I feel like I’m just scratching the surface. Personally, I have seen several cranial distortion patterns in my own kids and have been able to help them more through this work.

    We have a patient with chronic congestion and swollen tonsils/adenoids who were considering going to the ENT and getting surgery. I did work on an external frontal and sunken sphenoid wing and his mom said there were major changes in just the first week.

    I would (and have) recommended the course to others, I’ve loved learning and deepening my skills in this area. And there is a huge need for it.

    I did a lot of prep work before the 2nd seminar (read through the whole manual with the skull model and tried to understand the motions) and it really helped not be as overwhelmed. You guys already encourage prep work in advance of the seminar, but pushing that even more heavily would help everyone get more out of it! Thanks for everything you do!”

    “I decided to take this course because my office is becoming very populated with children. While I have taken numerous pediatric seminars, I still felt like I needed more hands on and a more intense program. When signing up for the program, my goal was to have a better understanding of the pediatric spine through exam and treatment and to feel more confident in doing so.

    My three takeaways:
    1. If you want hands on, this is it! I love all the hands-on time.
    2. If you want to go back to your office with more confidence and understanding of the pediatric spine, this is the program for you.
    3. If you do not know where to start, start here! There is so much information but each seminar coming back, I have a better grasp of the techniques, and I am able to implement things slowly into my practice.

    This program professionally has allowed me to see patients with confidence that I am doing a proper examination and technique that is very specific to my findings. Personally, I feel since starting the seminars in January I am taking my skills to the next level which is very rewarding for me personally and I know my husband is beyond proud of the time and effort I have put forth to do so. I have been doing a lot of palate work since the second seminar series and have seen a lot of improvement with post tongue tie patients and those who are having a hard time latching. Breastfeeding success has improved greatly. This is simply amazing as many women struggle and give up and to see them and their baby thriving is so rewarding.

    Yes, I would highly recommend this program to others. Fresh out of school or years into practice, I feel like the information is delivered in a way that everyone will learn and benefit. This course is intense; I am not going to put it lightly. But I appreciate all the hands-on and help we have while in seminar. The notes are so clearly delivered, and the slides allow me to go home and review without feeling like I need to be back in the seminar to further my learning. If a chiropractor wants to treat children, I feel this program is an absolute must. I wish it was taught in school! I think it is great and I appreciate all your hard work in teaching others! I have been to many seminars where I go thinking I am going to learn, and it is mostly stories about the instructor’s personal success stories, and I leave feeling like I almost wasted my time. Not here! Thanks again! See you soon!”
