Practicing pediatric chiropractor and craniopath. Wall Township, NJ.
I graduated from Life University in 2015. Pediatrics was the direction from day one. I was publishing case studies on ADHD and autism while still in school, my wife was an ICU nurse, and kids were a constant conversation at home. I was seeing them early in practice, but I didn’t understand what I was actually looking at.
In 2020, I encountered Dr. Marty Rosen’s work and it stopped me. Decades of clinical refinement concentrated into a system most of the profession doesn’t even know exists, and the depth of it was the inspiration. The challenge of mastering it pulled me in. I knew immediately this was what I had to study to be the best at something that mattered clinically for these kids. I set out to learn directly from Marty, and I have for years. The drilling, the corrections, the repetition. His body of work is the foundation everything I teach is built on.
The population that reaches me: birth trauma presentations, latch failures, post-NICU, plagiocephaly, torticollis, sleep dysregulation, sensory and neurodevelopmental cases, and adults with TMJ and the cascade of issues that follow from it. The thread connecting all of them is cranial involvement that every provider upstream missed.
The cranial exam I run has three components, and they don’t work in isolation. For infants especially, I’m looking at tongue function, nervous system adaptability and development, and cranial shape and function. Each piece matters. But when all three converge in the same patient, that’s where the results no one else is getting come from.
The correction work is light force, specific, and sequenced. I’m assessing suture mobility, sphenobasilar patterns, dural tension, and cranial bone position in a way that builds a clinical story before I touch anything. The technique is drawn from the SOT cranial path (CSSPP/CSCPP) and refined through years of clinical volume. Force is minimal. What changes in the room is the kid’s state. Parents notice it before I say anything.
Absolute Chiropractic is in Wall Township, NJ. Depending on the week, 40 to 50 percent of the caseload is pediatric. The remainder is mostly adults with TMJ and the structural and neurological patterns that come with it.
The referral channels that feed the practice are IBCLCs, pediatric dentists, and OTs and PTs who need a different clinical lens on a case, one that isn’t bound by insurance reimbursement structures. Those referrals tend to arrive already primed. They’ve been told something specific is happening that their tools aren’t reaching.
We run 300 to 400 visits per week. Every family gets a full walkthrough of what the three-component exam found, what it means, and what the correction sequence is working toward. Parents need to understand the clinical story, not just receive care.
The airway and neurodevelopment conversation is everywhere right now, and the solutions being offered don’t match the depth of the problem. I’ve watched pediatric chiropractors hit the ceiling of what their training gave them, and I’ve watched the profession miss the window to stake a real claim in it because the education isn’t there.
The training I built through The Cranial Doc is for the doc who is already seeing these kids, already committed to this work, and knows they’re leaving clinical results on the table. It covers the technique drilled to automatic, the exam language that walks a family through findings with authority, and the practice economics that make delivering this work sustainable. Most cranial education covers one of those. This covers all three.
