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
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?

Top Three Takeaways:
1. Importance of cranial landmarks
2. Better understanding of SOT protocols
3. Importance of CSF flowFuture Impact
It has deepened my understanding of cranial and will help me grow my skills.Relevant Techniques
Cranial because I want to work with babies.Recommendation
Yes — because it gave me a better understanding of cranial and SOT.Dr. Rosen was great!

Mitchell Bruns
My three takeaways:
1. The importance of SOT
2. The simplicity of a pediatric exam
3. The desire to pursue further studyNew patient exams will be easier now.
Relevant techniques:
Cervical Stairstep with the Ortho-Bionomy
SOR
To bring ease to a system before manual adjustingYes, I would recommend this course. It is better for upper quarter students because of the amount of info and need to understand some SOT basics
Dr. Jake was AMAZING to learn from.

Madison Dempsey
Top Three Takeaways:
1. Finding/addressing the root may not be the initial segment we find.
2. Less is more.
3. How to efficiently work through a pediatric/infant flow.Future Impact:
Being able to take care of a bigger population. Using the adjustments and techniques that are gentler, I believe, will help ease moms who are a little nervous.Relevant Techniques
• Cranial work for parasympathetic support.
• Addressing occiput & sacrum to further look for the root problem.
• Less is more, adjusting, pressure, addressing primaries.Recommend?
Yes! It revealed a lot about finding and indicating the root problem, as opposed to always adjusting the full spine.Wonderful slides and hands on opportunities! Would recommend for upper quarters (I’m in 8th and it was perfect!)
