Scoliosis: Adjusting Protocols & Home Care
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

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.

My three takeaways:
1. Whether the patient needs tonal work or an osseous adjustment, clearing the dural tension is most important.
2. Clear dural tension first, adjust spine then adjust cranium.
3. Helping explain to parents what cranial work is and how we do it.Learning about releasing dural tension will impact how I adjust patients moving forward. I also utilize MC2 for adjusting and getting this perspective and understanding of dural tension and CSF flow is a game changer
I think cranial work is going to be the most relevant. I also think that clearing SOR is going to be incredibly important and releasing sacrotuberous ligament.
I absolutely will recommend this course. This course has been incredible and offers so many different approaches to best serve the patient.
I have learned some cranial work, and no one has explained it as well as Dr Jacobe has. It is not about moving cranial bones but releasing dural tension.

My three takeaways:
Cervical Stairstep with tiers.
The adjustment chart and how you check one and then check the next one.
Feeling the CSF.I love that I can use these for children and adults.
The techniques most relevant for me are the Cervical Stairstep and the common cranial holds.
Yes, I would recommend this course. I loved the hands on and how knowledgeable Dr Jake was.
