Dr. Rosen's Teaching Schedule

This 16-hour comprehensive pediatric spinal and cranial adjusting seminar will cover a complete spinal and cranial examination for the pediatric patient. The examination format will allow the practitioner to determine: the major type of subluxation present – meningeal or structural, the predominant ascending or descending pattern and the primary area of neurological insult. In this way the practitioner will be able to determine the most effective adjusting procedure as well as the first area of the spine or cranium that needs to be addressed to deliver the most effective and efficient adjustment.

• We will train you how to perform a comprehensive pediatric examination for infants, toddlers and pre-teens
• The rationale for pediatric care
• Growth and developmental milestones and issues as well as their impact on the nervous system
• This will give the practitioner the ability to better educate their patients on the importance of getting their children’s spine evaluated by a chiropractor

• Spinal adjusting protocols for the occiput, cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine and pelvis
• Both low force/dural meningeal/tonal protocols as well as standard osseous corrective procedures will be taught
• Adjusting protocols to correct dural/meningeal, structural and viscersomatic neurophysiological patterns will be covered in detail

• Cranial anatomy and physiology as it relates to chiropractic cranial adjusting
• Cranial adjusting techniques for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) balancing
• Specific cranial bone corrective procedures
• Symptom specific applications of cranial techniques
• Sutural torsion patterns including the falx cerebri, tentorium and sphenobasilar
• Both external and intra-oral cranial techniques will be taught

This seminar includes specific case management and integration of spinal, cranial and soft tissue adjusting techniques. Specific protocols to address common pediatric challenges will also be covered including:

• Vagus nerve involvement
• Tongue-tie and palate evaluation and correction
• Plagiocephaly
• Pediatric TMD corrections
• Condition specific protocols including: autonomic nervous system imbalance, sensory and proprioceptive disorders, hyperactivity syndromes, immune system issues and others
