Sacro-Occipital Technique

(SOT) is a chiropractic technique developed to restore a functional relationship between the head, the pelvis, and the spine – a structure that envelopes and protects our central nervous system. Our central nervous system is the “control center” for our bodies and it is because of its intimate relationship to the spine and structures that surround it that makes SOT such a profoundly effective technique. It is also known as a more “light,” or gentle, method of chiropractic adjusting.

During an SOT treatment, SOT “blocks,” or wedges, are positioned precisely under the pelvis. The patient’s body weight and a gentle pressure from the practitioner help to make corrections of misalignment and to restore function to the nervous system. SOT is known for safe consistent results emphasizing patient comfort.
