Sacro Occipital Technique® (SOT®) is a specialized chiropractic method that focuses on evaluating and correcting imbalances in the spine, pelvis, and cranial structures to promote optimal nervous system function and overall health. Developed by Dr. DeJarnette, SOT® integrates chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and cranial corrections to restore the body’s natural balance.

How SOT® Works

Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting SM, a specialized area of chiropractic that focuses on the alignment and function of the cranial bones and associated structures, offers several benefits for overall health and well-being. The skull is composed of multiple bones that move slightly, and any restriction or misalignment can impact the nervous system, circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and overall body function. Cranial care aims to correct these imbalances, supporting both neurological and physiological health.

  • Comprehensive Assessment: SOT® practitioners begin with a thorough assessment of the patient’s spine, pelvis, and cranial structures. This assessment includes evaluating posture, muscle tone, spinal alignment, and neurological function. The goal is to identify any areas of imbalance or dysfunction that may be affecting the body’s overall health.
  • Categorization System: SOT® uses a unique categorization system to classify spinal and pelvic misalignments into three main categories:
  • Category I: Focuses on the relationship between the sacrum (base of the spine) and the occiput (base of the skull). Imbalances here can affect cerebrospinal fluid circulation, dura meningeal tension, and the nervous system function.
  • Category II: Addresses instability in the sacroiliac joints (where the spine meets the pelvis), which can lead to muscular imbalance, joint pain, and nerve irritation.
  • Category III: Targets disc problems and spinal nerve compression, often associated with low back pain, sciatica, and abnormal degenerative changes in the spine.
  • Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments: SOT® utilizes a variety of chiropractic adjustment protocols focusing on gentle, precise adjustments to realign the spine, pelvis, and cranium. Besides hands-on adjusting protocols SOT® employs specific techniques such as blocking (using wedge-shaped blocks under the pelvis) and soft tissue release to correct misalignments. This approach helps restore balance and function without causing additional strain or discomfort.
  • Chiropractic Cranial AdjustingSM Techniques: A distinctive aspect of SOT® is its emphasis on chiropractic cranial adjustmentSM protocols. By gently correcting cranial bones imbalances, SOT® aims to improve the function of the cranial-dural-meningeal respiratory mechanism, which affects cerebrospinal fluid flow and overall brain function. Correcting cranial imbalances can help address various neurological issues and enhance overall well-being.
  • Supportive Care and Rehabilitation: SOT® also involves supportive care, including exercises, lifestyle advice, and nutritional recommendations, to help maintain the adjustments and promote long-term stability. This approach ensures that patients not only experience relief from symptoms but also achieve lasting improvements in health.
