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

Resources Provided

  • Video class modules
  • Evaluation & technique presentations
  • Practical demonstrations
  • Calls to action (CTAs)
  • Complete PDF workbooks
  • Full transcriptions of video classes
  • Email access to Dr. Rosen & Dr. Watson

Why Take This Course?

  • Scoliosis requires a multi-dimensional approach that goes beyond spinal adjusting alone
  • Ancillary protocols and home care support are key to stabilizing progress and improving outcomes
  • These techniques are gentle, effective, and easily integrated into family, pediatric, and wellness-based practices

Who Is This Course For?

Chiropractors who want to:

  • Expand their effectiveness with scoliosis cases at any age
  • Integrate soft tissue, cranial, and postural correction techniques into their scoliosis protocols
  • Provide long-term solutions that empower patients and create lasting spinal change
  • Deliver results that are measurable, sustainable, and neurologically driven

Whether you’re currently working with scoliosis patients or looking to add this specialized skillset to your practice, this course will give you the clinical tools and confidence to make a greater impact.

Feedback From Our Students

  • Sergio Domenech

    My three takeaways:
    1. How important it is to pay attention to dural tension and understand the connection and importance it has.
    2. Also understanding more about pediatric adjusting and just the anatomy of it all.
    3. General understanding in order to be able to express and communicate it better.

    This has given a whole new lens of what is going on in our spines and already knowing that it is more than just a bone but adding the language is going to be so helpful.

    All was very well presented so I think all techniques are going to be great for my art.

    I am actively recommending this seminar to others. Would love to have you all back in ATL.

    Very happy that I made the decision.

  • Mason Finnell

    My three takeaways for this program:
    1. Understanding the dural/meningeal system in its relation to subluxation and the adjustment.
    2. I need to dive deeper into this work for the benefit of the people I get to serve in the future.
    3. Ascending vs. descending subluxation patterns

    This program has certainly impacted how I view chiropractic, the adjustment, and subluxation. I know in the future I will go into this work deeper with the advanced certification and I know how important this work is for the world.

    Yes, I would, this course should be fundamental for all chiropractors and especially those interested in serving the pediatric population.

    Dr. Jake was a phenomenal teacher, broke everything down very simply, and was a great down-to-earth person.

  • Sam Anderson

    My three takeaways:
    1) CSF flow is so important, and we can directly influence that through precise care.
    2) Chiropractic changes people’s brains in a good way, especially with the SOT technique.
    3) This was a great seminar. I feel like I have a good foundation for SOT for spine and cranium.

    I want to get more teaching and experience with cranial work within the SOT model. I’ll be entering student clinic in a few months, and I plan on using SOT as part of my evaluation and adjusting technique. Time will tell how I use it down the road in practice, but I believe it will be a key part of my flow.

    The most relevant techniques are Cranial because I hope to see lots of kids whose sutures aren’t closed yet. Also, SOR because it can tell us so much about someone’s body and subluxations.

    Definitely would recommend this course. Dr. Jake did an excellent job, and SOT is a great technique.

    Dr. Jake was the perfect instructor – smart, explained stuff in a helpful way, funny, hands-on. He showed me what to improve and gave me confidence in my current skills.
