    “My three takeaways:
    1. Comprehensive Pediatric Spine Evaluation and Correction: The program provided an in-depth understanding of how to properly evaluate and correct the pediatric spine, enhancing my ability to address spinal issues in children effectively.
    2. Early Adjustment for Optimal Development: I learned the critical importance of adjusting children from birth to support maximum brain and neurological development, emphasizing the need for early chiropractic interventions.
    3. Invaluable Cranial Adjusting Techniques: The cranial adjusting techniques taught in the program have significantly improved my results, particularly for pediatric patients with neurological issues, highlighting the value of specialized cranial care in pediatric chiropractic practice.

    Personally, the program has enhanced my understanding and passion for pediatric chiropractic care. It has deepened my appreciation for the vital role early adjustments play in children’s neurological and overall development, reinforcing my commitment to providing the best care possible for young patients. This knowledge has also strengthened my confidence in treating pediatric cases, knowing that I can make a significant positive impact on their health and well-being from an early age. Professionally, the program has been transformative. It has equipped me with advanced skills and techniques for evaluating and correcting pediatric spines, as well as invaluable cranial adjusting methods. These enhancements have improved my clinical outcomes, particularly for children with neurological issues. As a result, I am now able to offer more comprehensive and effective care to my pediatric patients, setting a higher standard in my practice and distinguishing myself as a specialist in pediatric chiropractic care.

    A personal experience that highlights the impact of the program on my practice involves a six-year-old boy with severe autism who was experiencing daily seizures. When he first came to see me, we focused on his gut health through functional medicine, and although we saw some positive results, his progress eventually stalled. While I was taking this program, I began using the pediatric adjusting techniques I learned. Almost immediately, there were noticeable improvements. The most significant changes happened when I started implementing the cranial adjusting techniques taught in the program. The transformation was remarkable. His seizures decreased significantly, from daily occurrences to once every two weeks. The boy, who had been very aggressive, became calm enough that his mother could reason with him. He stopped biting and pinching his mother multiple times a day. His balance also improved significantly, and he went from struggling to walk properly to having much better coordination. Now, he happily comes to see me and lays on the table calmly while I adjust him, without screaming. And it only took six weeks to see these substantial results. This experience underscored the immense value of the skills and techniques I gained from the program. It has made a substantial difference in my practice and, more importantly, in the lives of the children and families I work with.

    I would highly recommend this course to other chiropractors who work with children or desire to work with children. The program provides an invaluable set of skills and techniques that can significantly enhance your practice. Through this course, I gained advanced knowledge in evaluating and correcting the pediatric spine, as well as cranial adjusting techniques that have made a substantial difference in my clinical outcomes. The practical applications of these techniques have been transformative, as evidenced by the remarkable progress of my patients, like a six-year-old boy with severe autism whose seizures and aggressive behaviors dramatically improved. This course equips you with the tools needed to make a profound impact on the health and well-being of your young patients, ultimately elevating the standard of care you can provide. If you are dedicated to advancing your expertise in pediatric chiropractic care and achieving outstanding results for your patients, this course is an essential investment in your professional development.

    I can’t wait to take it again and again! I desire deeply to be an expert in this arena. Thank you so much for bringing this education to us!”

    “My takeaways from this program are:
    1. Incredible amount of hands-on practice.
    2. Learning from the greats of our profession.
    3. Tools and techniques to add to your practice that can help you with some of your difficult cases.

    Each time I attended a seminar my passion for taking care of people, children especially, was fueled. Professionally, I have added so many tools to my toolbox, particularly with the cranial work that I’ve learned.

    I have a 45 year old patient with a VP shunt. The cranial work, particularly the ventricular bulb technique gives her so much relief from her overwhelming headaches/migraines that she experiences multiple times per week. She states it has been incredible for her quality of life.

    I would absolutely recommend this program. It’s a chance to learn from a true master, and those chances do not come along very often.

    Thank you so much for everything. I hope to continue to study with you as long as you’re teaching!!!”
