Praise For: Evaluation and Corrections for Vagus Nerve Involvement

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.

This program has usable information with good instruction and demonstration. Very helpful.

I will use this to diagnose and treat patients weekly. I can help my own kids too.

I just evaluated a one-year-old and will hope to see better balance than getting previously

I would recommend this course for its usable information.

The program was very comprehensive and interesting take on adjusting

I took this course specifically to address my patients with vagus nerve impairment which is the most vital and important thing to me as I am my practice.

I would recommend this course because it has specificities to diagnosis correct and check also love low force.

This program is full of information which I still need to digest, and I do love the cranial adjusting.

I took this course to gain a deeper understanding of how chiropractic adjustments can enhance and support the vagus nerve specifically. I feel that in the last few years I have seen a lot of unqualified health practitioners/life coaches, etc. throwing the term ‘vagal tone’ and downplaying its role by listing vague exercises that people can do to enhance it without any assessment or understanding of it. Sometimes I have parents that come in and say they’ve googled things to help their child develop vagal tone etc. As a chiropractor that stresses the importance of a well-regulated nervous system and having the knowledge and tools to do so, it made sense for me to do a course specifically dedicated to the vagus nerve to benefit my clients.

This course has given me more clarity and depth to how chiropractic adjustments specifically address where the vagus nerve may be irritated. In particular, I’ve found it more helpful with explaining to Mums when they bring in their bubs, how a small adjustment at the correct place can change a whole host of symptoms that bub is presenting with. You don’t need to correct everything head to toe, just spend more time trying to locate the area where the irritation is. I’m even spending less time in the session as I’m looking for certain findings. The course has given me more specificity when assessing clients and adjusting with a plan and how to recheck after the adjustment instead of relying on Mums reporting the issue is improving.

I’m applying the knowledge from this course more with my paediatric clients. From applying my SOT knowledge, it was common for me to perform dural releases, clear out the occiput (normally traction or posterior), sacrum and HH and ICV releases. It was the first time I had heard of to also check the 1st rib/clavicle and anterior Atlas. It makes sense when you follow the vagus nerves path along the osseous structures! This assessment is part of my adjusting protocols now and I have found that with every paediatric client that the results and alleviation of symptoms are much faster. i.e. I’m seeing faster results in the visit and by the 2nd 3rd visit already. I was getting good results before but now I know and am seeing even better and faster results. The assessment and corrections for the vagus nerve makes sense, is clinically relevant and parents get it.
Thanks for creating a great and well thought out course for chiropractors to learn and benefit from. It’s very versatile and can easily be incorporated into care regardless of technique preference.

As a DICCP, most of my patients are pediatric and maternity. I have taken several other of your courses either in person or CDs and I purchased your book as well. I realized I needed to know more about the Vagus Nerve. I see a lot of babies with TOTs and the Vagus Nerve is significant in those cases for sure.

I specifically mapped out a defined protocol to methodically evaluate how to determine Vagus nerve impact and then how to correct each section depending on where it may be impacted in patients of all ages.

I am much more confident in educating patients about the impact of the Vagus Nerve as well as evaluating and correcting Vagus Nerve compression and tension.

I have a lot of babies coming in daily for treatment with TOTs and associated GI, sleep, etc issues so I have been gradually applying this information in every case.

The program has been extremely helpful and I need to review it all again thoroughly and solidify it a lot more. I really liked the 3 reviews that you did because they seemed to put the pieces together more for me. I found I had to rewind the same section several times and still need to review it all again because at times things were talked through very quickly.
