Scoliosis: Adjusting Protocols & Home Care
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.

- 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

“This program gave me great strategies to analyze and help correct a scoliosis. It also gave great home care procedures to assign patients!
It made me more confident in treating my patients with this condition. Had a patient with rotational scoliosis come in the same week the course began. I was able to put into practice the methods learned in this course right away!
I would recommend this course for anyone wanting to enhance their analyzing and adjusting skills!
Thank you!”

“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.”
