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.

I treat a lot of children and a fair amount of them need a lighter input than CMT and benefit greatly from tonal work. This course refreshed my memory and gave me a lot of practical application to current issues I have in my office. My favorite aspect was being able to do it from home on my own time. This course was a great review of the cranium and CSF with a lot of practical application in techniques and protocols.

I wanted to take this class to gain knowledge in order to be able to better treat children (and adults) in my practice. There was great basic knowledge of cranial anatomy and a great base of cranial adjustments as well as learning to feel the different pulses and movements in the cranial region. I have more confidence in treating TMJ problems and helping my pediatric patients. I had an adult patient with a TMJ problem that was not resolving with my typical treatment. Now I know how to release the sphenoid and frontal bone and was able to get him to heal. Thank you for a great class! It was all new information to me, so I was overwhelmed as first. I kept watching the videos over and over and by the end, I felt as though It was really coming together for me.

I enjoyed relearning about the importance of CSF fluid and how it moves. It is helpful to explain to practice members why having cranial work done is important to their overall health. I have noticed more and more of the practice members having cranial problems and how profound the work can be in their overall health and there is always something you can learn and be better at. It was a nice easy pace to keep up with each week and even if you fell behind, you could easily catch up. That was great for someone that does not have much extra time but wants to learn. The videos were very helpful for me to learn since I am a visual person. It is important to have someone help so you can practice on them otherwise it is harder to apply the information and techniques. Overall, the course was great and I would take another in the future.

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.
