Did you know there are at least 3 types of infantile torticollis? Dr. Rubin distills the great work of Dr.Heiner Biedermann from the classic text, "Manual Therapy in Children", in which he calls torticollis "Kinematic Imbalances causing Suboccipital Strain", or KISS for short. Dr. Biedermann identifies KISS 1 and KISS 2, and Dr. Rubin adds a 3rd sort of KISS (aptly called KISS 3) to the mix. Learn what they are and how to approach them from a chiropractic point of view, especially in regards to brain development.

Dr. Sid was a charismatic, larger than life persona. He would mesmerize audiences with his clarity, focus and conviction, imploring us to study chiropracTIC so you can learn to speak with authority.

Chiropractors are truly Neuroplacticians. The bodies ability to heal itself, the brains ability to heal itself, is far more profound and amazing than we ever thought possible.

We have learned that we have this incredible neuroplasticity that makes our ability to heal truly astounding. Learn how you can tap into this amazing power. Originally aired in 2017.

How are you studying chiropractic? Are you reading textbooks? Class notes? National Board reviews? All that is great and necessary to pass classes and boards, but where are you learning chiropracTIC? Where are you getting the philosophy of chiropracTIC? You've got to study chiropracTIC! Read BJ Palmer's 'Green Books', listen to podcasts like this one or Sigafoose, go to philosophy seminars, and 'talk it down' with fellow students and docs.

Learning about the Polyvagal Theory by Dr. Stephen Porges has truly revolutionized the way I look at children, especially those children that are on the Autism spectrum. The Polyvagal Theory shows us how we have evolved over time to be more social, and also shows us why children or adults with Autism have problems with socialization. The vagus nerve is so much more than just 'rest/digest'...it is critical in social engagement.
