Featured Guest - Dr. Marc G. Pick


Marc G. Pick is a Doctor of Chiropractic with a private practice in Beverly Hills, California since 1973. In a desire to enhance his services, he attended Emperors College of Traditional Oriental Medicine from 1987-92, and in 1997, he completed the American Chiropractic Association’s 300-hour postgraduate course in Neurology. Dr. Pick is a lifetime member of the Sacro-Occipital-Technique Organization (SOTO) – USA.

He earned his Diplomate and Fellowship status in Craniopathy through the International Craniopathic Society and has lectured throughout the United States, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Australia, England, France, Canada, and Switzerland since 1979. Since 1973, he has accomplished several thousand hours of human dissection and founded Project Human (the construction of a prosected latex humanoid cast from the parts of human cadavers).

Naturally inquisitive about the intracranial impact of cranial manipulations, he began investigating the visual effects of cranial manipulations upon the intracranial structures during MRI scanning and was published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT) in 1994. His more recent work is the text, “Cranial Sutures: Analysis, Morphology & Manipulative Strategies”, published and released through Eastland Press. This text is a comprehensive guide to sutural analysis, morphology and manipulative strategies which can aid the practitioner’s manipulative applications through a greater understanding of the skull’s interarticular relationships.

In 1998, Dr. Pick was approached by the Pacific Asian Association of Chiropractic (PAAC) to develop and conduct an ongoing course in human dissection to be held annually at the medical school in Honolulu. Since that time the course has been officially accepted as part of the medical school’s “Outreach program” and is currently offered once each year. He has also just acquired an assigned space at the UCLA School of Medicine Gross Anatomy Lab where he is currently conducting personal research as well as synthetic humanoid reconstructions.

Recently, Dr. Pick has created a latex fiber optic model of the Human Central & Peripheral Nervous System for the Wellcome Trust, which is being displayed in their 2002 Exhibition at the London Museum of Science.

Dr. Pick has synthesized and organized chiropractic neurology and cranial manipulation into a series of state of the art seminars as well as has developed novel methods of neurological diagnosis and treatment. For more information please visit: www.marcpickcreations.com
