MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol – Module A
Calgary | June 6, 2026 | Downtown Marriott
The MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol – Module A is designed for chiropractors who want to apply polyvagal theory at the adjusting table, not just understand it conceptually.
This seminar provides a clear, repeatable framework for assessing and adjusting the upper spine, cranial system, and upper safety corridor through a nervous-system lens. You’ll learn how to recognize states of safety and threat in real time and how to adjust with presence, precision, and intent rather than relying on rigid sequences or force.
A central focus of Module A is the Social Engagement System. We will break down the five cranial nerves involved in social engagement and show you how to use them as clinical indicators for the depth of regulation you are aiming to create with your adjustments. This gives you observable, neurological feedback rather than guesswork.
Module A is about improving access to the nervous system.
It’s about knowing when to adjust, where to adjust, and how to deliver input the system can actually receive.
No technique changes required.
No dogma.
Just a deeper understanding of how chiropractic input interacts with regulation.
This seminar is ideal for chiropractors who want their adjustments to land deeper, hold better, and create more consistent post-adjustment regulation.
What You’ll Get

A clear explanation of the Safety Corridor and why upper-corridor integrity matters for regulation
-
An in-depth clinical understanding of the five cranial nerves of the Social Engagement System and how to use them as indicators of regulatory depth
-
Assessment and adjusting considerations for the cranial-cervical junction and upper cervical spine
-
The upper six ribs, with special focus on the first rib and its relationship to perceived threat
