    “The pediatric certification program is a gold mine of quality information. The depth of the pediatric exam is such that, when done, there will be no doubt in your mind what needs to be done and why. Clinical certainty is such an important part of practice, and the information gained throughout the program has significantly uplevel my clinical certainty. In addition to an in-depth overall exam and analysis procedure that’s taught, there are also several condition specific indicators that have also been impactful and helpful in practice. Daily in practice I’m able to apply the information gained through the certification to not only better serve my community, but also to feel good at the end of the day that we were able to offer our patients the finest of what’s possible in chiropractic. Thank you Drs. Rosen and I look forward to continuing on this journey!

    Thank you, truly, for offering the program. It has made a big difference.”

    “I took this program to learn about treating pediatrics and to have a better understanding of SOT®/cranial techniques.

    This is a very comprehensive program that covers everything from techniques to conditions and using techniques for different conditions. The material learned helps a lot in everyday practice/cases and the notes are also very helpful because you have them to refer back to. You learn how and when to apply/use techniques learned in the course when you come across certain patients. Currently in my first year of practice as an SOT® doctor, this program has helped a lot when treating cases I didn’t know how to start or resolve. This course has helped a lot with treatment of conditions in children (and adult) that I had a hard time figuring out what to do. It’s taught me a lot of useful techniques that I’ve either forgotten and/or need a refresher on.

    Currently I have quite a lot of kids coming from a pediatric dentists that have class II or class III that are severe. They’ve all been able to start coming out of their class II or III and just need a bit of bite fixing because of their growth of the maxilla or mandible.

    There was one kid that was a severe class II and it didn’t matter what the dentist did, either using elastics or expander, he would not go forward in the upper palate and his mandible was also stuck. After working with him for 8 visits, he had almost no anterior head carriage. He finally started expanding forward. Afterwards, because he was 12 years old, they put in an expander in for two weeks to help and he had so much expansion in two weeks that they didn’t need to keep it in any longer. He also stopped tripping over himself in soccer practice and can run without hip pain.”
