Praise For: Introduction to Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting (CCA)

I was really interested in cranial work and it is not something I had learned in school, so I signed up! I learned a lot. My favorite part was the easy online accessibility that I could fit into my schedule and the relevant homework. The most surprising takeaway was the amount of movement and direction of movement of the cranial bones during inhalation and exhalation. This course is completely worth it. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson make it so easy to understand and immediately applicable to your practice. I loved every minute of this class and I believe it has helped me not only help build a healthy foundation for younger patients, but also provided me tools to help the non-pediatric patients.

I took SOT courses previously and was inspired by the connections between the sacrum and occiput and how it would therefore affect the whole body system. It is worthwhile to add cranial work to my practice for a better outcome seen in my patients. Though this course is just an intro, I could easily apply a few hands-on techniques in practice. This broadened my insight when treating musculoskeletal pain. I would truly recommend this course if you want to differentiate yourself from other practitioners and to provide your patients with a more holistic care.

Take this Intro to Cranial Course before the Cranial Immersion or the Pediatric Class. If I had taken this first, it would’ve made the pediatric course easier since some of the concepts were repeated in both courses. Practice, practice, practice. The more patients I worked with, the easier these techniques became and the more sensitive my fingers were to the CSF pulses. Trust the technique. Even when I wasn’t sure if I did something right, I would hear great feedback from patients and see changes even if I was using a new technique that I wasn’t 100% comfortable with yet. I finish each adjustment now with some cranial balancing and patients LOVE it. I know I am offering something no other DC in the area can do. I had a patient with swollen glands on her left side and severe ear pain and congestion come to me, and by working on her with these techniques, she had instant relief of her symptoms and her lymph nodes were back to normal by the next day.

My wife and I had our first child and wanted to provide comprehensive chiropractic care for her that included cranial adjustments. We were able to care for our child in ways that we weren’t otherwise able to. My favorite aspect of the course was learning not only generalized cranial adjustments, but adjustments that are specific for certain conditions as well.

My biggest takeaway was the many ways a person can respond to a cranial adjustment and the cranial antidote for when they are not accepting the adjustments. I plan to utilize the CRI technique and RTRT to help all practice members have more balance in the dural meningeal system, better CSF flow and better reception to adjustments. I will also utilize the skull molding for pediatric practice members and evaluate for protrusions on newborns/infants when they first come in.

I would recommend this course to others. It is an excellent refresher on anatomy and physiology, explains when and why to perform cranial corrections and is highly specific in the art of performing them! This course has given me the confidence and knowledge that I need in cranial adjustments. The cranium and dural meningeal system are so intimately related to the nervous system and how it functions. I feel as though I am better equipped for individuals in a more comprehensive way!

I wanted to refresh my cranial skills. I have taken a course with Dr Rosen in the ICPA. I loved learning the technique and the different conditions to use the techniques on. It was a great course; the homework forced me to re-listen. I wish that I had more hands-on practice while watching the course. I love the Eustachian Tube Cranial adjustment as allergy season has come into practice already. I would recommend this course because it is a great way to refresh your skills, understand the why behind the cranial adjusting and have more confidence cranial adjusting in practice. Refresh, learn and gain more confidence with new cranial adjusting skills. The skills you learn are ones that you can start using in practice right away.
