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.
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

Feedback From Our Students
Karen Ferguson, DC
“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.”
Tricia Marquez, DC
“When learning about scoliosis in school we never got very in depth on specific adjusting techniques. This course has provided me with new skills to handle each scoliosis case with the tools to provide the correct adjustment in office, home exercises and more education for the patient on their condition.
I feel more confident in talking with patients about their scoliosis while providing treatment to help them reach their goals.
I have a father and son with scoliosis and have always felt I wasn’t providing them with the care they needed for their adjustments. They love having tools they can work on at home together and really feel a difference.
Yes I would recommend this course. It’s important to keep our skills and knowledge up. Never stop learning and improving.
Thank you for a great course and the support offered.”

“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.”
