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

  • Monzerath Baeza

    One of my greatest takeaways was learning cranial work, it is something that has always interested me especially after seeing my nephew go through having to wear a helmet. Another was getting a refresher on why the need to have the science behind what we do. Hearing Dr. Jake’s application of everything in practice really solidified my why and fire within the field. Lastly, understating the importance of this work and the seriousness of what we do was another huge takeaway. Learning the technique is amazing but getting our fire relit was my favorite part of it all. Dr. Jake is amazing.

    This program is an amazing foundation to build upon as I venture through Chiropractic school and develop my skill and knowledge. It also helped clarify my why and so long as I continue to remember it and keep it in sight, school will be okay.

    I am not sure if clearing is a technique, but it is the greatest gem from this program that I can take and utilize as I progress through school and learn the technique or art of adjusting. I am only quarter three, so I am extremely limited with what I can apply clinically at the moment.

    Absolutely yes, I would recommend this program. From learning to clear to learning to just observe and feel the natural flow of the body, this program is a MUST for everyone, regardless of what technique one wishes to practice in practice.

    Please come back and add to the student programs. I would seriously consider doing it all and know there are many more on campus that would too.

    My three takeaways:
    1- the importance of dural attachments and creating ease in the nervous system by reducing stress in areas of tension.
    2- Real-life applications for the tools we learned.
    3- cranial adjusting tips to take into practice.

    This really helped bridge my knowledge from school and other seminars. It was a deep dive into relevant material that we don’t get from school. It better equipped me to serve patients in clinic and future practice.

    1-Cranial adjusting – we don’t learn this at school.
    2-Suture Palpation – analyzing the skull to find patterns of distortion and address common compensation patterns. I even had a friend at school mention that she had a weird bump that she wasn’t sure why it felt “stuck” on her skull – a few attendees and I were able to palpate and agree it was likely restricted motion at the asterion! So cool!

    I definitely would recommend this course! If you want to work with kids and create lasting impacts to the nervous system- it’s important to get early results during prime brain development! This course defined why that period is crucial and gave the tools to address it!

    Dr. Jacobe was AWESOME! Very helpful and relatable. He presented the materials in a manner we could understand and was able to answer all of our questions. Dr. Brooke was very knowledgeable and friendly.

    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.
