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.
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

“My three takeaways from this program:
1. The earlier we are able to detect and correct the spine unbalance, more effective and easier the treatment will be.
2. Depending on how long the scoliosis is present, there will often be disc and bone degeneration occurring on the concave side due to the piezoelectric effect.
3. Those blocks and exercises are very important to stretch muscles and restore the normal curves.This course amplified my knowledge about scoliosis and I’ll be more confident and able to help more people.
I would absolutely recommend this course. These classes are awesome and many Chiropractors could improve their practice with this learning.
Thank you so much for the learning and email replies. Very helpful.”

“Even after 29 years of practice there is still room to learn. The convenience of online learning and being able to practice the technique at the office that day or the next day. There is feeling the support from others who have studied with you or who took the same program.
This has helped bring more relief to the patients I care for.
A patient with severe scoliosis, I adjusted her transitional segments and opened up the spine…she could tell a difference. Her relief lasted longer than after other adjustments.
I would recommend this class because it’s easy to add to your current techniques.”

“My three takeaways:
1. Calcification occurs on the side of concavity.
2. Placement of the side of the blocks are different from supine (concavity) and prone (convexity) for S-curve scoliosis.
3. Home care protocol is very important for management of scoliosis patients.If I can help scoliosis patients more, my practice will grow more. But one patient who is 70s seems to be getting better after 2 visits. This should be a good start.
I’m looking forward to using this technique for my patients more and seeing the outcomes of them.”
