Scoliosis: Chiropractic Adjusting Protocols & Home Care Strategies – Support Structural Balance and Long-Term Spinal Correction

Scoliosis presents unique challenges in chiropractic care—requiring more than standard adjusting to create long-term, sustainable change. To effectively support spinal correction, chiropractors need a comprehensive approach that includes precise ancillary techniques and patient-specific home care protocols.

In this online course, you’ll gain the tools to evaluate, adjust, and support patients with scoliosis using gentle, targeted techniques that address spinal distortion patterns, postural imbalances, and compensatory tension. You’ll also learn how to implement simple, effective home care strategies that enhance and stabilize in-office corrections.

This course is ideal for chiropractors looking to deliver deeper, more consistent results for both pediatric and adult patients with scoliotic presentations.

What You’ll Learn

  • Comprehensive assessment protocols to identify scoliosis patterns and related structural compensations
  • Specific SOT®-based and cranial adjusting procedures to support spinal realignment and neurological balance
  • Soft tissue and reflex techniques that enhance structural mobility and reduce spinal tension
  • Home care routines and exercises to reinforce in-office corrections and improve posture, proprioception, and muscular support
  • Strategies for patient education and engagement in long-term corrective care

Feedback From Our Students

  • Diane Schwab, DC

    My three takeaways from this program:

    1. The format was very convenient. 2. Having the videos allows for going over material as much as needed. 3. The material was systematically laid out and thorough.

    I am an empath and personally this has relieved some of my stress regarding patients’ progress in my office.

    I would recommend this course as a refresher or a stand-alone class on how to treat scoliosis. This has expanded my knowledge base and I can see the potential it has to help a lot of patients.

    I appreciate this being offered in this format. It was convenient and allowed me to learn on my time.

  • Cesar Segura, DC

    “1. Clarify that Chiropractic care and management in scoliosis is not only in the office, but also at home. 2. Understand that there is no ‘magic formula’ and that scoliosis care must be defined on a case-by-case basis. 3. I learned more precise methods to evaluate scoliosis and thus be more specific when adjusting the spine.

    Personally, it is an expanded vision that leaves the usual repertoire for the management of scoliosis, which gives you another look when evaluating, since it provides more tools. Professionally, the changes that I previously achieved are now faster in time and with less effort. The fact, in addition to including guidelines to be followed at home, positively impacts the patient since it empowers them more in resolving their condition.

    Patients with extreme sensitivity, where it is not possible to apply force for a traditional thrust adjustment, appreciate being able to receive chiropractic using less aggressive elements such as the use of blocks or the Dutchman roll.

    Yes, I would totally recommend this course. There are care protocols that, at least in my case, I did not receive in basic training. In addition, everything learned can be used the next day in the consultation, with total confidence and security.

    In addition to the professional level, the willingness to always clarify doubts both during the course and in the community on Facebook is appreciated. The demonstrations of the protocols and settings are very clear.”

  • Kirra Randolph, DC

    “My three takeaways are:
    1. Easy, bite size modules for busy practitioners.
    2. Adjusting protocols I can use tomorrow.
    3. Home care to empower patients in their own treatment plans.

    This program has impacted my life in that I have a lot more confidence in my abilities to serve my community with efficient skills for specific scoliosis presentations.

    I am currently working with a new patient on these techniques and it is going well.

    Yes I would recommend others take these courses so we have a greater network of like-minded chiropractors with optimal education to refer other patients to.

    I like the videos so I can slow the audio down to listen to Dr. Marty. Having the transcript is also great. Good for my learning style. The repetition of content is great with a video, PowerPoint and a worksheet.”
