Chiropractic Care for the Pregnant Patient – Confidently Support Every Stage of Pregnancy with Advanced SOT® Protocols

Pregnancy is a time of profound structural, hormonal, and neurological change. For chiropractors, it offers a unique opportunity to provide safe, effective care that supports both the mother and developing baby throughout each trimester—and beyond.

This on-demand course gives you the tools to deliver gentle, specific, and neurologically-based chiropractic care tailored to the needs of pregnant patients. Using advanced SOT® (Sacro Occipital Technique) protocols, you’ll learn how to assess and address the spinal, pelvic, and cranial changes that occur during pregnancy—and how to create more comfortable pregnancies and smoother births.

Whether you’re already caring for expecting moms or looking to expand your prenatal expertise, this course offers step-by-step guidance you can integrate into your practice right away.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to adapt SOT® Category I, II, and III protocols for each stage of pregnancy
  • Pelvic balancing and soft tissue techniques that support uterine positioning and fetal alignment
  • Cranial corrections to address hormonal shifts, neurological stress, and postural changes
  • Evaluation strategies for detecting instability, torsion, and compensatory distortion patterns
  • Techniques to support labor preparation and postpartum recovery

Why Take This Course?

    I decided to take this course because I was repeatedly finding women, pregnant particularly, whose pelvises were giving me a hard time and were not properly aligned despite my best efforts with HVLA adjustments and other various techniques. I was hoping that I could help these women and future mamas in my office.

    Even drop table adjustments that I previously considered very gentle can be too much given the instability during pregnancy. I can use other tools to help keep the belly off the table while making blocking more effective.

    I love using this in my office and think that it will be a wonderful asset to my practice as I am able to assist women in reducing pregnancy related pain and women who have seen other chiropractors without much relief too. At home, I spent more time than anticipated as I found myself wanting to repeatedly watch the same videos to see what I missed the first time. The videos didn’t take too long and the CTA was beneficial but I just spent too much time watching and rewatching (with the first 5 videos in particular).

    I used the acetabulum assessment and correction just last week and got a message the next day from the mom who said she felt so rested and had just slept the best she had in years, since having her first child. I also have used the assists for helping start labor and mom reported that it helps to regulate contractions and she believes helped move things along.

    I absolutely loved this course as the videos were manageable in length and the community was so supportive. I learned so much throughout each one as they are chalked full with wonderful tidbits in addition to the expected curriculum. I do wish that I was more versed in SOT prior but I didn’t feel too lost without the background either. I was particularly fond of the different scenarios/case studies at the end as well as the support and presence in the FB group.

    Thank you for another wonderful class! Fell behind due to life’s circumstances and taking on more than I can chew but I am so glad that I took this course because it is already helping mamas in my office!

    This program was very interesting. A video every week helps to integrate new information progressively.

    I am proud to be more specialised with pregnant patients. I feel more confident about these techniques. We try to have a child so I feel especially more interested in this course

    I used the Category 2 in sitting position and the patient felt immediately releasing of the pain, and then with standing she was more stable.

    Thank you very much.

    My three takeaways:

    1. Program is well organized, divided into bite size videos, and full of tools for assessments and corrections.
    2. Videos are only accessible while the program is ‘active’.
    3. Although having a SOT background is not required, understanding the basic framework & philosophy would greatly help grasping this program and the abundant information.

    This program has challenged me to stay disciplined in time management. It has given me more assessment as well as correction tools to use with the pregnant population.

    A 32 weeks pregnant existing patient presented with sudden onset of groin pain and sensitivity around the pubic symphysis region. I applied the technique taught in the program to reset the pubic symphysis. The patient stated she had about 50% improvement immediately and upon her following visit a week later, the symptoms had completely gone away.

    Thank you for your commitment and passion for chiropractic, the pediatric and pregnancy population, and education. Y’all are deeply appreciated! Cheers.
