Scoliosis: Chiropractic Adjusting Protocols & Home Care Strategies
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.

Feedback From Our Students
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.”

“My takeaway from this program Blocking and stretching with blocking.
I am now giving more attention to people with scoliosis
I currently have two patients with scoliosis and one of them is doing well with at home blocking and is easing up daily pain.
Yes, I would recommend this program.”
Jill Slutak, DC
“Very informative and interactive accessibility to information and instructors for feedback and questions. Applicable takeaways. The information was very well organized and manageable.
Refresher of information and clarity of the information taught giving confidence to handle scoliosis in children at a younger age as well as being able to apply the blocking information to a couple of patients who have rods
I have a patient with pelvic unleveling and a high right hip! The home stretches in which you cross the legs slide them over and then walk the legs back has really helped relieve patient’s knee pain
Yes, I would recommend this course!
I loved the flexibility of the program that I could do at my pace for my schedule while staying on track week to week. The information was well organized and easy to apply in practice. The added live classes really added to the experience. I was unable to be in them live due to conflict with office hours but the replays complimented the course nicely and added an additional layer of depth to the information. I loved the accessibility and response time Dr Rosen had to questions and comments. I also loved the group responses to individual questions so we all could learn.”
