Praise For: Evaluation and Corrections for Vagus Nerve Involvement

My three takeaways:
1. Lots of valuable information.
2. Weekly videos and course content but allowed to go at their own pace.
3. Next day clinical application.

In taking this course, I’ve realized that I utilize several of the techniques taught but didn’t realize they were all correlated to the vagus nerve. It opened up new clinical thinking and targeted more vagus nerve involvement in practice.

Specifically, checking for 1st Rib and Clavicle involvement on a 36 year-old female using the testing shown in this course. Not only did it allow the patient to ‘see’ there was involvement, but after adjusting she couldn’t believe the difference in her ROM and ability to breathe.

I would recommend this course because it was great information presented in an easy to understand format. I fell behind but was able to continue the study and still get the information and utilize it in practice the next day.

Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom with us!

I wanted to learn more about the vagus nerve and how to diagnose and correct dysfunction of it.
My three takeaways are: Watch the videos multiple times. Get as much hands on practice as you can. Ask questions if you don’t understand something.

Taking this course has made me a better clinician and helped me to explain to patients that chiropractic care is about more than pain.

I’ve started to apply the technique in practice, and it’s amazing to me that most of my patients (adults) have some level of vagus nerve dysfunction. I’m hopeful that resolving it will exponentially improve their outcomes. It was a great course, and I’m very happy it was offered online.

I have learned clear and concise ways to assess for Vagus nerve involvement. There were plenty of golden nuggets to take away. Dr Rosen is a wealth of knowledge and even though you will need to go back and watch the videos a couple of times for the correction protocols, you will definitely finish the course with a lot to use immediately in practice.

I would say 60% of my practice members are Autistic children ranging from 2 years old to 16 years old. This change in my practice has only been in the last 2 years. Whilst the tools I had in my toolbox were good tools, I was looking for more. I wanted to be more specific and have a protocol to follow. I love that there is a system to follow and even though many of these kids are not necessarily allowing me to do all the tests, my awareness of where to check has shifted something.

I have one little guy, Noah, 3 years old, nonverbal. He has been so traumatized by hospital appointments and doctors that every time he is in this situation he cries from before he has even entered to the time he leaves. He has been coming for treatment for the last 3 weeks and on Saturday he was having a particularly bad day and his parent said that the last 3 days have been bad. I managed to assess his occiput and atlas, and he had a lateral atlas. I corrected this and the crying stopped immediately. I got a hug goodbye and when they came back for his second adjustment (they travel from the other side of Ireland so we do 2 adjustments in a day) he hopped out of the car and ran up the stairs and was all smiles. So very special.

Definitely would recommend this course. I love the way everything comes together at the end into a simple and easy to follow protocol. I think the Vagus nerve has also become a very important area to focus on in the current climate of continuous stress and overstimulation. Getting more specific and accurate in your assessment is where the magic lies when it comes to being a good chiropractor. This course gets you started on understanding the detail needed to perfect this. You then have to practice like crazy.

I’ve decided to take this course because I wanted to deepen my knowledge about the vagus nerve function and imbalances and how to address it when it gets compressed/tractioned. The program is very well structured, with a good learning pace. Knowing the widespread effect that vagus nerve dysfunction can have in the body and learning how to correct it provides us with a more holistic approach. Techniques learned in this program are well explained, in a practical way.

Since I’ve taken this program I was able to better evaluate both pediatric and adult patients in regards to symptomatology related to the autonomic nervous system. This has had a profound impact in how patients recover overall health and wellbeing. I used these techniques with an adult patient with several digestive issues plus symptomatology in the Cervical and Upper Thoracic Region. Upon evaluation, I found a left occipital compression, with a right occipital sideslip. After correcting the occiput, I’ve checked the atlas, 1st rib, diaphragm and psoas, correcting what was involved using the techniques taught in the program. I’ve finished the session with the temporal bone evaluation and correction. The patient was amazed with the change he felt on those digestive issues (dramatically improved reflux).

Just want to appreciate once more all the work that you’ve put into making these programs available to us…. Thank you!!

As I adjust babies only in my daily practice, I see a lot of them with vagus issues… I wanted to feel more confident with my understanding of that, learn techniques or protocols to check and adjust these little ones.

My takeaways are: Don’t forget to check and adjust the anterior atlas – ‘visceral triad’ (GB-Stomach-ICV) as a short way to check the vagus involvement – clear the vagus first (occipital compression/sideslip, anterior C1, 1st rib/C7, psoas, diaphragm, visceral triad) then correct the cranial fixations/subluxations if needed.

This program really helped me to put together many things I already knew. It means it is much clearer for me now.

Last week with a little 2 months old. She was brought by her mom because she felt her baby was ‘nervous’. This little girl has ‘colics’ and can’t stay alone, mom has to carry her all day long. She can sleep on her mother’s belly only (never alone, never in her own bed)… I followed the protocol for vagus evaluation: baby prone on her mom, checked for occipital compression, glut indicators, short leg… I corrected a left occipital compression prone, then an anterior C1 in a supine position, cleared the visceral triad and then I corrected the occiput into flexion. The baby fell asleep alone on the bench at the end of the session while I was explaining this adjustment to the mom. Was a very nice moment!

Thank you so much for everything you do for us! I really enjoy each seminar I took with you!
