“At the age of 18 months old, my daughter was in an accident at daycare. She fell on cement and injured her left side of her face. Three days after this incident her left eye started to turn in. I brought her to a Doctor of Optometry and they said it was probably just a coincidence and had nothing to do with the fall.

A few weeks later she was put in glasses and I was told that she sees double and probably always will. The following month I reached out to a Chiropractor that works an hour and a half away from us, but I knew that he was trained under Dr. DeJarnette years ago and utilized techniques for SOT and Cranial adjustments. Thankfully after 2 years of weekly appointments with Dr. Groene, my daughter was progressing in a way that her eye doctors and therapist could not even believe. I was also told when she first was seen after the injury that she would never have an opportunity to wear contacts. After years of specific cranial adjustments with Dr. Groene, she is now in contact lenses and does not see double! Her eye only turns in when she is extremely tired or has been reading for a long period of time. Having these great, unbelievable results, I was inspired to learn all I possibly could so that I could not only continue to help my daughter without having to drive 3 hours weekly to see Dr. Groene, but to help future patients that may be going through the struggles that we went through for years. I wanted to learn as much as possible and from who I thought was the best of the best to learn from. Therefore I signed up for this series and could not be more pleased with my decision.

My Three Takeaways:

1. There are many ways and resources to reference the material after class. The books and online material are well written as well as easy to follow and understand.
2. It is a privilege to learn from Dr. Marty, who is a fountain of knowledge not only with cranial information but also with chiropractic and owning a business for 40 years.
3. While each seminar contains a lot of information, even being able to take bits and pieces each time will help build the confidence in helping patients.

I have gained the confidence to evaluate and adjust patients in a new way with the indicators that we were taught during the 3 classes. The amount of information that is applicable has been life changing for my practice and for me personally with my own children.

Specifically I have a current patient that has significant TMJ issues. I used the information I learned in the first two classes to help and after just two visits she came back in tears. She said that what I had done literally changed her life! She has not been able to eat a burger or steak in 2 years. She also had to stop public speaking because she would spit or drool while speaking. After just two adjustments she was able to speak without any problems.

I appreciate all of the knowledge, the extra time to explain, the hands on practice, and the patience that Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy have while I learn this new skill set. I am also grateful for the tools available to continue to study this material. The books and guides are very well written and a great resource for me to use when I am not in class.

This is the second time I have taken this series and it is still mind blowing how much knowledge Dr. Rosen has to share. Marty and Nancy are not only amazing teachers but respectful, caring, and fun people and Chiropractors to learn from.”

“I have a large number of pre/post-natal and pediatric patients and wanted to be able to serve their needs to the best of my capacity. I specifically wanted to learn the cranial adjustments in course 2.

My takeaway is to plan on taking the course multiple times if you are new to SOT – it’s an enormous amount of information. This program gave me more knowledge and tools for my tool box.”

“I decided to take the Pediatric SOT series to help enhance my skills with treating the pediatric population. Continued learning has helped me provide top notch care for all patients in need Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy have a passion for bettering the chiropractic profession.

Though the treatment protocols take time to master you are able to implement some small steps immediately when returning to your office. The importance of ‘sharpening’ our skills helps us be masters of the techniques we use in our offices. Professionally and personally Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy have become part of my chiropractic family and are amazing mentors. They help keep the teachings of the SOT protocols congruent with the philosophy of chiropractic.

Over the past year I have incorporated many of the cranial applications including adding measurements of the cranium in my exam. This simple additional step of using calipers helps parents see the changes almost immediately. It helps reaffirm their choice to seek care as they can measure change.

I absolutely would recommend the course to others. The SOT paradigm clearly seeks to treat patients on all spectrums of spinal conditions. It is protocol dependent, and results are easy to come by when you follow the steps. I would take this course year after year just to be around the masters of the technique. Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy are leaders in the SOT community. Coming from Nebraska where Dr. Marty was taught the technique years ago has opened a network of patients waiting for the next generation chiropractor to take over their care. I love learning from the best and hope that the education continues to flourish with these two!”

“I decided to take this course because my office is becoming very populated with children. While I have taken numerous pediatric seminars, I still felt like I needed more hands on and a more intense program. When signing up for the program, my goal was to have a better understanding of the pediatric spine through exam and treatment and to feel more confident in doing so.

My three takeaways:
1. If you want hands on, this is it! I love all the hands-on time.
2. If you want to go back to your office with more confidence and understanding of the pediatric spine, this is the program for you.
3. If you do not know where to start, start here! There is so much information but each seminar coming back, I have a better grasp of the techniques, and I am able to implement things slowly into my practice.

This program professionally has allowed me to see patients with confidence that I am doing a proper examination and technique that is very specific to my findings. Personally, I feel since starting the seminars in January I am taking my skills to the next level which is very rewarding for me personally and I know my husband is beyond proud of the time and effort I have put forth to do so. I have been doing a lot of palate work since the second seminar series and have seen a lot of improvement with post tongue tie patients and those who are having a hard time latching. Breastfeeding success has improved greatly. This is simply amazing as many women struggle and give up and to see them and their baby thriving is so rewarding.

Yes, I would highly recommend this program to others. Fresh out of school or years into practice, I feel like the information is delivered in a way that everyone will learn and benefit. This course is intense; I am not going to put it lightly. But I appreciate all the hands-on and help we have while in seminar. The notes are so clearly delivered, and the slides allow me to go home and review without feeling like I need to be back in the seminar to further my learning. If a chiropractor wants to treat children, I feel this program is an absolute must. I wish it was taught in school! I think it is great and I appreciate all your hard work in teaching others! I have been to many seminars where I go thinking I am going to learn, and it is mostly stories about the instructor’s personal success stories, and I leave feeling like I almost wasted my time. Not here! Thanks again! See you soon!”

“I took this program to deepen my knowledge in cranial adjusting, increase my tool box for babies and children and learn more SOT® protocols.

Three takeaways I would like to share about this program, are an in depth information of all common pediatric issues and adjustment protocols for treatment and more in depth cranial knowledge, learning the sphenoid and all its motions and how to properly adjust it and confidence in helping children and babies resolve their primary subluxations.

This program has impacted me as a provider by making me more confident in correcting subluxations and speaking to parents. It has impacted my practice by increasing the number of babies being served and getting relief from their issues.

Learning proper palate and intra-oral evaluations from this class and textbook, have increased helping more babies born in the birth community I serve with latching and TOTS. I had a case of treating a mom. The midwife went and clipped the tongue tie at day two of life.

Since I had established care with mom, I came to check her son. He had uneven palate and a sphenoid in extreme torsion. I was able to use SOR and help release his sphenomaxillary and sphenobasilar joints. Also applying fruit jars all helped with increasing his latch on one side. Mom also reported less pain and spit up. Continued care of him eventually had him functioning and clear of his sphenobasilar restrictions.

I have enjoyed taking this course spread out and congruently with the 10 month online course. It is really putting the puzzle together. So thank you for what you guys are doing for the profession and grateful to study with you.”
