Praise For: Introduction to Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting (CCA)

I took this course as I wanted to further my skills in cranial adjusting so I can better serve my patients, particularly my pediatric patients. I have taken Dr Rosen’s in person seminars before, and although those are very helpful as well, there is so much information and being online you are able to pause and go back and go at your own pace. I have already started using these techniques in my practice and they have been really impactful. Specifically in the babies that I take care of that I have tried everything else and nothing has worked. A 4 month old came to my office and her mom described her as a “mad baby”. She cried constantly and the only time she stopped was when she was feeding. The mom was drained and had gone to every specialist she could and nothing was working. The first thing I noticed when she came in was her obvious cranial distortions. I adjusted her and she did not stop crying. I left the room to grab something quick and by the time I was back in the room, she had stopped crying and looked up and actually smiled at her mom. It was so heartwarming and amazing to see how powerful that kind of adjustment was! I got so much out of this course. I think the only thing I struggled with was trying to visualize hand placements and motions over the computer but after going over everything it became more obvious.

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.

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.

I took this course because I had taken another course before. My favorite part of the course was that you can go at your own pace. I loved learning about molding. This is an excellent course to fine tune your skills.

I really like the online format. It has the flexibility of working into my schedule instead of the other way around like most seminars. It also allows me to go at my own pace and take detailed notes which I have referred back to several times in the office.
