Who this is for

For the chiropractor who wants to be the best adjuster in the room

The main thing I want for you is to be the best adjuster. You don't have to throw out your full spine work. Add the knee chest specific to it, and learn it from the line it came from.

  • Master the adjustment. A light, fast toggle with recoil, delivered to a listing you found, not a guess.
  • Confidence on every patient. Three objective findings before you adjust and the same checks after, so you know when to adjust and when to leave it alone.
  • A practice people come back to. The practice success module is how I explained my findings and kept patients checking in for life.
  • Your name on the map. Kale Certified doctors are listed in the Find a Doctor directory patients search by ZIP code.
Once you make the commitment, go all in with it. Just give it the speed.Dr. Randy Kale

What you learn

The whole Kale system, start to finish

This is what I actually teach in the room. Every part of it is recorded into your online training portal so you can go home and go over it as many times as you want.

Philosophy and history

Why the top of the spine, and why knee chest.

  • B.J. Palmer, Lyle Sherman, Dr. Michael Kale, and me
  • Volume 18 and the B.J. Palmer Research Clinic
  • The subluxation, the trinity, and the five signs of life

The toggle recoil

Speed, not force. Toggle, torque, and recoil, a set recoil, not a push.

  • Relaxed arms, then one fast, committed thrust
  • Setting clockwise or counterclockwise torque from the listing
  • Drills on the Torque and Toggle tool and the Speeder Board

The knee chest posture

How to place the patient so the neck is ready before you ever touch it.

  • Thighs square to the floor, knees level, head turned to the listing side
  • Your stance: sternal notch over the contact
  • Children, and patients who can't kneel

Palpation and contact

The palpation map, from the ear to the axis.

  • Finding the posterior arch of atlas and the spinous of axis
  • The pisiform nail point contact, and a lighter contact for children
  • Tissue pull before the thrust

Atlas and axis listings

ASR, ASL, ASRP and the rest. That's your combination to the safe.

  • All twelve atlas listings and the axis listings
  • Which film gives you which letter
  • Finding the major

X-ray analysis

The Kale series: lateral cervical, AP open mouth, and base posterior.

  • Positioning and setup for each view
  • The line drawing, point by point
  • Measuring the atlas angle and the millimeters side to side

Instrumentation

Objective checks before and after, so you know when to adjust.

  • Left and right readings behind the ear
  • Reading the difference, and when not to adjust
  • Posture checks alongside the readings

Practice success

How I ran a practice people kept coming back to.

  • The spark, fuel, and air tripod patients understand
  • Charging for the analysis and the rechecks
  • Patient education sheets you take home

The agenda

Friday night and all day Saturday

Saturday afternoon: on the knee chest table, one doctor at a time, until the setup is yours.

FridayEvening

The foundation

My story and the lineage, then the philosophy: Volume 18, the four parts of the subluxation, above down, inside out, and the five signs of life. Plus a special guest. You're not going to understand all of it tonight. You will tomorrow.

SaturdayFull day

X-ray, instrumentation, adjusting

Morning: the Kale x-ray series and the line drawing, then instrumentation and posture. Then we get on the knee chest table, hands on. Lunch 1:00 to 3:00. After lunch: practice success and a special guest.

SundayOptional

Brunch together

Whoever can stay meets up for brunch before heading home, part of the Kale family. Informal: it is not catered and not part of the ticket, so you order your own.

December 4 and 5, 2026 at The Avalon in Alpharetta, Georgia, just north of Atlanta. It opens Friday evening and the training runs all day Saturday. On Sunday morning, anyone who wants to meets up for brunch before heading home. The brunch is informal: not catered and not part of the ticket.

Who is this certification for?

Licensed chiropractors who want to learn an upper cervical technique they can use Monday morning, and chiropractic students who want to learn it early, from the source. You can keep your full spine work and add the knee chest specific to it.

What will I learn?

The knee chest toggle recoil adjustment, the knee chest posture, the palpation map and contact points, the atlas and axis listings, the Kale x-ray series and line drawing, instrumentation with pre and post checks, and the practice systems Dr. Kale used to run a practice patients come back to.

How do I become Kale Certified?

Come to both days and do the work with Dr. Kale. You earn your Kale Upper Cervical Certification when Dr. Kale signs off on your work at the seminar.

What is included with my ticket?

Both days hands on with Dr. Kale, the Kale manuals, your certification when Dr. Kale signs off on your work, and lifetime access to the online training portal so you can review everything at home. Certified doctors are added to the Find a Doctor directory patients search.

I am a student. Can I upgrade later?

Yes. Come now on the student ticket, and once you are licensed, you can upgrade to the full doctor certification for $2,500.

Will this help me grow my practice?

Saturday afternoon is the practice success module: how Dr. Kale explained his findings, set up rechecks, and taught patients the spark, fuel, and air tripod so they stayed with him. Results depend on the doctor, and no income is promised.

Is there a deposit or a payment plan?

No. Every ticket is paid in full at checkout, and your seat is locked in the moment you pay. If your plans change, the Refund Policy covers refunds, handing your seat to a colleague, and moving to the next seminar.

How do I get my seat?

Get your ticket on this page. Your seat is locked in when your ticket is paid. Rather talk first? Use the call request form on this page and Dr. Kale or his team calls you back. This class only happens live.

Does the seminar offer CE credits?

No. The seminar is not currently approved for continuing education (CE) credit. The Kale Certification is a private certification from Dr. Kale, not a continuing education course.

Is the certification a license?

No. The Kale Certification recognizes that you completed Dr. Kale's course. It is not a state license and it does not change your scope of practice.
