Feedback From Our Students

  • Bryson Wilbanks, DC

    “The blocking procedures, muscle balancing and the corrective exercises all are a great way to apply specific corrective adjustments to the scoliotic spine.

    I look forward to being able to better care for my patients who have scoliosis.

    I was able to start the conversation with patients with confidence that I will be able to correct their curvatures

    Yes I would recommend this course; the course gave me a more solid foundation in understanding how to treat patients with scoliosis.”

  • Leanne Tressler, DC

    “My three takeaways from this program:
    1. The blocking procedures, none of the doctors in our office knew how to do that so we just adjusted our scoliosis patients. This gives us a chance to help those patients more.
    2. The home exercises and blocking procedures. We have a lot of patients asking if there is anything they can do at home so now we have more information to give them to help when they are not in the office.
    3. The adjustment procedures focus on T11-T12. We would always just adjust side posture into the convexity of the curve and that was it.

    This program has impacted my life professionally because we see a lot of scoliosis patients and now I have more ways to be able to help those patients instead of doing what I was before. This will be able to help them more. Personally it helps me understand why I am doing the adjustment and blocking procedures and how it is helping these patients.

    I have a 15 year-old with a 35 degree curve to the right. It is an inferior tippage curve and since using this adjustment and the blocking techniques on him he has noticed more relief than just the adjustment I was doing before.

    I would recommend this course to others because the course information is very helpful and it is put in a way that is understandable and easy to follow.”

  • Angela Taylor, DC

    “My three takeaways for this program:
    1. This is a great refresher on scoliosis.
    2. I have a much better understanding of scoliosis blocking techniques from this program.
    3. The home exercises for scoliosis patients was very helpful and provided easy home care and relief for these patients.

    This was a great refresher on scoliosis and I learned some new things especially on inferior tippage. The home exercise techniques have been a great addition to my scoliosis patients.

    Yes, I would recommend this course. It’s a great short course that had some great info for an area that I think many chiropractors don’t actually know that much about.

    Every class I take with you I learn something new and am always able to immediately apply it to my daily practice.”
