Sacro-Occipital Technique
Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) embodies nearly every chiropractic technique into a systematic, wide-reaching approach to treating many pain generated alignments caused by a dysfunctional central nervous system. Chiropractors specializing in SOT are essentially "whole body" physicians possessing an in-depth understanding of human anatomy, physiology, neurology, kinesiology and other medical fields.
The Importance of Sacro-Occipital Technique
At the core of SOT principles of treatment is the health of the upper most aspect of the neck (occipital) and the pelvis (specifically- the Sacrum, the base of the spine). As the base of the spine, the sacrum supports the skull, spine, arms/shoulders and feet/legs. The pelvis also plays a role in supporting internal organs, since it is strong ligaments attached to the pelvis and spine that buttress your organs. In addition, upper thigh and back muscles and tissue responsible for shoulder and neck stability are also attached to your pelvis. Chiropractors specializing in Sacro-Occipital Technique are interested in correcting the misalignment ( Subluxation) of these structures allowing them to remain coordinated and balanced by a stable, healthy pelvis for the purpose of maintaining optimal nerve activity throughout the body.
