How it works
Find the protocol
Browse the exercise library by body region, or pick a full condition program — every page credits and links the original publisher of its video.
Hand it to your patient
Print the two-page handout, or generate a QR code on the provider tools page that opens the video-guided protocol on their phone.
They follow it at home
Patients get demonstration videos, sets and reps, form cues, and red-flag precautions — no app to install, no account to create, nothing to pay for.
Why chiropractors use Protocol Archive
- Active care that patients actually do. Adjustments plus a home mobility and strengthening program outperform passive care alone — and a QR code that opens a video is far more likely to get done than a photocopied sheet of stick figures.
- Complements the adjustment. Cervical mobility and deep-neck-flexor work after cervical care, hip hinge and core stabilization for low back patients, first-rib and scapular work for shoulder complaints — organized by region so you can find it while the patient is still in the room.
- Documentation-friendly. Every protocol names its source program and prescribed dosage, which makes it easy to chart the active-care component of your treatment plan.
- Patient education included. Condition programs for chronic low back pain, sciatica, tech neck & cervicogenic headache, and posture correction explain the why, not just the what.

Common questions
- Is it really free?
- Yes — free for patients and clinicians, no trial or feature gates. Our chiropractor directory is live in 20 states and Washington, DC, listings are free to claim, and offices never pay per lead; the library itself stays free and open.
- Can I print and hand these out in my office?
- Yes. The handouts are designed for end-of-visit use. The videos stay on their publishers’ own channels.
- My patient population skews older — is this appropriate?
- The library includes many routines designed for older adults, including a full fall-prevention track with seated and supported variations.
- Can I suggest a protocol?
- Email hello@protocolarchive.com — the library grows based on what clinicians ask for.
