    “My three takeaways are:
    1. How important specificity is when doing cranial work and how important it is to truly understand the mechanics of the cranium in order to achieve optimal results
    2. How many symptoms and challenges, especially in the pediatric population, can be attributed to the cranium and dural meningeal stress.
    3. How to do a much more specific examination on infants and children to really hone in on the primary areas of concern.

    This course is giving me the confidence to get back into practice after taking 6 years off to raise my kids. It has given me more clinical certainty and a much larger tool box to pull from in order to treat kids with all sorts of conditions.

    I haven’t yet gotten back into practice; however, I used the ear infection protocol on my 4 year old. I was concerned because when he would get ear infections years prior they would progress very quickly and it would end up spreading to both ears and needing antibiotics. This past winter he got a few ear infections and within a few hours of me using the protocol on him, he would clear the infection and feel completely fine. It was absolutely incredible to watch!

    I absolutely would recommend this course to others. I think it’s vital for any chiropractor who sees children to take it. If chiropractors aren’t checking the cranium and adjusting with incredible specificity then it is doing their community a disservice.

    I absolutely loved this program and I look forward to taking more of your courses in the future. One thing that i think could be a really phenomenal addition to this course is case management information. I love that I know so many more techniques now; however, I’m not sure I would be able to answer patient questions as to how long a child will take to see shifts and changes with their health, or the best and most effective treatment schedules. Maybe doing some case studies where you show what a patient presents with, how you managed their case clinically throughout their care and what specifically you adjusted on them, and how long it took for them to achieve optimal results. I think this would help me boost my clinical confidence even more. Thank you so much for creating this course! I’m so incredibly grateful to have found you both!”

    My three takeaways from this program are: Cranial assessment is essential for every pediatric chiropractor. Cranial adjusting helps with general alignment and better outcomes. It requires special skills and a lot of understanding to perform these adjustments.

    This program impacted my life because I have seen right in front of my eyes changes immediately in some cases, something that was challenging before.
    I had a case of a cranial imbalance; so much the baby had his whole mouth to the left side of his face. I performed the “jar opening” assessment and some other techniques learned in this course. On his 3rdvisit, his mouth was back to normal.

    I will and I have recommended this program to every pediatric colleague. It is essential information not taught in Chiropractic school. It is an extra tool you can use to help more patients and have an extra specialization in this topic.

    I have been working with babies since I graduated from NYCC 11 years ago. I have done all ICPA and some other pediatric and prenatal courses. The thing about this program that I liked the most was the hands-on experience I had practicing with my patients every week. It was amazing the changes I saw immediately in some of them. Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to an in person seminar soon!!
