Praise For: Chiropractic Cranial Immersion Program

That chiropractic cranial correction, like spinal adjusting, is highly specific; that chiropractic cranial correction can easily be done within the context of a chiropractic visit as long as an appropriate cranial exam has been done; that cranial correction is not just about sutures and cranial bone mobility but mostly about dural-meningeal tension and CSF pressure and movement.

As a 22-year practitioner, it’s awesome to add not just a new tool, but really a whole new kit of tools, to my clinical toolbox to better serve my patient population. I’m already seeing great clinical benefits. Also, as I age, it feels good to add more skills and offerings that are easy on my body that I can lean into as time goes on so that I can practice for as long as I want to.

One of my long-time patients has terrible anterolisthesis/lumbar stenosis and in the last year or so has developed dizziness, occasional confusion, and visual and auditory hallucinations. She has been thoroughly worked up medically and has been diagnosed with early onset Lewy body dementia. I’m confident this is due to the altered CSF flow from the narrowing in her lumbar spine. I found occipital and R temporal dysfunction, improved those and focused on increasing CSF movement when I see her each week. She says it’s the only thing that calms her symptoms.

Yes, I would recommend this program. Your teaching methods help ensure true uptake and integration of the material, the material is accessible to someone without deep roots in SOT, and the intraoral work is covered really well.

I like the repetition in the program, which really helps the information to integrate and become second-nature. Thank you for the extra time to get through the material. Great course!

There was a call to action that asked us to think about which procedures we connect with better. This was a great call to action for me to think through. I feel like I am trying to figure out how to do everything I am learning and that can feel very overwhelming. So having part of the curriculum be that I am thinking about which procedures work best in the flow of my office was very beneficial. This curriculum went at a speed that was easy to digest. It wasn’t too much information at one time, but it also didn’t feel like it was so boring that not much was being learned. This program length offered a learning opportunity that I have not found in other cranial courses I have taken. I feel like the other courses I have taken or looked at are either trying to put so much information into a weekend that you walk away not being able to really have a good grasp of what was taught or it is so basic that it doesn’t feel like it was detailed enough to actually apply to patient care. I feel like this course helped equip me both for patients I am already seeing and for future patients and what to look for when they come into my office.

Taking this course has had a huge impact on my professional life. I feel so much more confident being able to work with pediatrics and adults. I feel like from previous cranial courses I had some knowledge coming into this as I was able to do some basic work with my patients, but I just felt like there was so much more I could have been doing for my patients. Now that I have completed this course, I feel like I am able to address more details with my patients and have better outcomes. Especially with newborns and young children where it can truly be very important to do work in a timely manner. This has then transferred to my personal life by giving me more confidence and feeling more satisfied when I am leaving work.

I have a newborn in my office right now that was breech for most of the pregnancy, he went head down 2 days before delivery. Since birth, he has had a very hard time with latching and feeding. For the first time I have felt confident doing cranial work but especially doing palate work. It is still early in the journey for this little guy, but he is already feeding better and mom is needing to pump and bottle feed significantly less than she was the first week of his life.

Yes, I would recommend this course to others. I feel like a big part of this answer has already been stated in previous answers. I feel like this course due to the length of time that was spent gave more details in a way that could actually be absorbed. It wasn’t too much or too fast. The only aspect that I feel like was missing was a hands-on portion where the professor could actually watch me work and make real time corrections.

I think this is an exceptional course. I think having a hands-on portion where we come together so that real time corrections could be made would be very helpful. I don’t think this would need to be often, I think 2 hands on dates during the course, maybe one roughly halfway and one at the end would be greatly beneficial for me to know that what I am doing is actually the correct positioning.

Having taken many continuing education courses and achieving multiple certifications, it’s amazing how much all of this information fills in gaps of knowledge and clinical support. This course provides entirely new clinically relevant assessments and corrections that most standard chiropractic certifications/techniques do not include. It will help all chiropractors especially to provide exceptional care and results to all patients (and likely to those “tough & complicated” cases.
I ask myself “what was I doing before learning this”? How could I possibly have provided the top level care that I thought I was? I have been able to understand things about my own self, family and children that have stumped my clinical understanding for years. I have applied the assessment and techniques on numerous clinic members and I often hear “what is this magic”. It’s been amazing!

I have used this technique on a baby with obvious torticollis and plagiocephaly – that the mom was told to do physio for. She almost didn’t sign on for chiropractic care but after 12 sessions, her plagiocephaly was much improved and torticollis was completely resolved. At her doctor and PT follow up, all the providers were incredibly impressed at the improvement without any PT!

I would absolutely recommend this program. The information is very thorough and unmatched in any other program. For chiros wanting to provide the highest level of care, this program is a must!

Thank you for how well organized and easy to digest you’ve made this! Thank you for your continued support and availability throughout the course as well. Thank you for the Facebook group and answering all questions. I felt very supported and encouraged during this program. While I miss the in person opportunity to train, this has made it possible for me to learn and apply this knowledge during a period in my life where it would have been impossible to travel for it!

This program is a great way to increase knowledge and understanding of the cranial system. It goes from anatomy to analysis and correction. It is broken down into easily digestible segments that allow you to master a piece before moving on to the next.

Since completing this class I have more confidence in my cranial adjusting skills and in my communication with patients around cranial adjusting. I am much more confident when a patient asks a question about why I do something that I can answer.

I had a patient come in after a traumatic car accident. They were struggling physically and were very emotionally shaken up. Their system was very overwhelmed. I decided to try the cranial bowl lift technique to help calm their system. I was shocked at home much of the change that I felt while working with them. I could actually feel the shift in the patient. The next visit the patient reported that they had been able to sleep since their last visit. When I started working with them their pattern and indicators had both changed. It was amazing to see how such a small, specific, gentle technique had such a profound impact.

Yes, I would recommend this course. This class really provides a great baseline for understanding and doing cranial work.

This was a great course. Thank you so much!

This course was packed with tangible information that was easy to implement as I was learning. I really enjoyed the short video clips that made the information easy to digest and I feel much more comfortable performing cranial work in my practice because of this course.

This work has been so valuable! I’ve already started noticing shifts in my outcomes and have also had several practice members break through chronic pain patterns.

I had a patient referred to me by a holistic dentist who has been working with her abnormal bite pattern and cervicogenic headaches. Just this past week this patient came in and said I was the first chiropractor to ever effectively help, and she had been to many before me. I know that would not have been the case, if I hadn’t taken this course!

Thank you both so much for this class and the boundless amounts of information!
