    I took this program to help improve the effectiveness of my chiropractic technique and therefore my clients’ ability to heal and relax.

    These techniques are easy to add into whatever chiropractic technique you already do. There are clear before and after indicators to ensure you have made the correction. It is a quick and easy technique to use.

    This program has made me more aware of the importance of the vagus nerve and its role in healing. This has led us at our centre to create a relaxation experience from the moment our clients walk into our centre.

    I really enjoyed learning more in depth about occipital side slip and compression. I felt confused in this area during other classes and this really broke it down even more and explained it better. I really enjoyed doing the cranial specific Vagus release inner oral technique and have already seen a difference in a few patients with gut issues. Also learning about the anterior atlas and how to test for it was very eye-opening and it makes so much sense now once it was explained.

    I feel like taking these courses has only added to my bag of tricks so to say to help with those cases that are maybe normally ones that I would send out. I feel I am getting stronger in these areas.

    Last week I was working on an adult patient and worked the occipital compression technique and they had immediate relief when they got up from the table and were amazed. I had one pediatric patient that was still having torticollis issues and I started implementing the anterior atlas and hopefully we will see a change in symptoms soon.

    I always recommend your courses because they are so in-depth and it gives you so much information that you can take and start implementing into your practice. I have already been sharing information about the anterior Atlas with the other doctor in my office.

    Thank you so much for another great program.

    Thank you so much for the fantastic course! I decided to take the course as we see so many babies with reflux, colic, and nervous irritability. Adolescents that are otherwise “healthy” with vaso-vagal syncope, etc. who doctors can’t help, and adults in severe sympathetic overdrive who have burn-out, stomach and digestive issues with no apparent causes, etc. I wanted to know more to be able to help these patients better.

    I see the immense impact of the Vagus nerve and how many patients have these restrictions which I wasn’t able to accurately assess or treat in this much detail before! Last week I had an (adult) new patient with 2 episodes of hyperextension injuries to her neck, medically unexplainable stomach pain directly after and a clicky sensation in her cervico-thoracic junction as well. Corrected C1 and occipital compression, and the next couple of days she said she slept better, and had fewer episodes of acute stomach flair-ups. Continuing treatment and we’re seeing how it goes. Good start so far! Going to move on to CT junction/clavicle and see what happens.

    Thank you for a wonderful program! Was extremely insightful and I’m looking forward to implementing more of these techniques on my patients and looking forward to see how we can help them better.

    I took this program to learn more about how to better identify and resolve vagus nerve restrictions. The vagus nerve is one of the most important things to evaluate in so many situations. While there is a lot to remember, just take things one step at a time to help each patient in the way they need. More chiropractors need to know this information!!!

    I feel I am able to better evaluate and treat the occiput, especially in infants. A mom brought a newborn to me that was not latching well at all, no lip or tongue ties and suckling (on finger) was not being done well. Baby had a slight head tilt to the right with a lower occiput on the right. After doing an occipital correction alone, the baby started to latch much better, along with a huge improvement in suckling. Atlas also needed correction.

    They do a great job breaking the information down into small, easy to learn stages, with more information than I was ever taught in school!

    I took this course because I did not feel like I was providing as comprehensive upper cervical care as I thought possible for my patients. Three takeaways from this program is that it is very thorough, with detailed instructions and I had the ability to watch the classes multiple times, I have already helped infants and adults improve their health, I have used it on many long-standing patients with excellent results, it has given me more confidence in my ability to diagnose and treat my patients.

    I have a grandma that has been a patient of our office for years. She is raising a granddaughter who is 11 years old. I changed the posters in our office so that a poster on the importance of pediatric care was emphasized. I placed it on the wall right beside my adjusting table. The grandma noticed it and began asking about her granddaughter. Turns out she had a horrible delivery and walks very bound with her neck and shoulders compressed. The grandma described her gait as lumbering. She is on an IEP as a struggling reader. She is on Medicaid of which we do not take but I could not knowingly refuse care for this patient so I am treating her at no charge. I have only seen her four times and she said she no longer feels she has a heavy weight on her shoulders, she could not walk heel to toe without falling, etc. Her tutor has noticed a vast improvement in her reading since receiving these four adjustments. She is able to balance on one leg and easily walk heel to toe. Everyone is thrilled with her progress.

    I appreciate the effort you both have put into making this class detailed and thorough which has enabled even me at almost 65 years of age to be able to learn it and use the techniques to make a difference in the lives of my patients! Blessings to both of you!
