"The Effect of Sacro-Occipital Technique Category II Blocking on Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction and Low Back Pain"
By: Dr. Deed Harrison, DC, MSE, PhD & Associates

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a major — yet often overlooked — contributor. This study examined how SOT Category II pelvic blocking procedures influence sacroiliac joint mechanics and pain levels in patients with documented SI dysfunction. Findings demonstrated measurable improvements in pelvic alignment and significant reductions in pain scores following SOT Category II care. The research reinforces what SOT practitioners see clinically every day: addressing the pelvis as a foundational structure has a powerful ripple effect throughout the entire spine and nervous system.

Did you know your body has an incredible built-in ability to heal — and SOT chiropractic care is designed to unlock it? 🌿

At SOTO-USA, we use Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) to address the root causes of pain and dysfunction — not just the symptoms. SOT is a whole-body approach that focuses on the relationship between your sacrum and occiput (the base of your spine and skull), restoring the natural balance your nervous system needs to thrive.

Whether you're dealing with chronic back pain, headaches, or just feeling "off," SOT care works with your body's own rhythms to bring lasting relief and improved function.

Here's what makes SOT different:
✅ Gentle, low-force adjustments
✅ Addresses the whole body — not just one area
✅ Rooted in decades of clinical research and education
✅ Practiced by highly trained chiropractors worldwide

Our community of SOT practitioners is passionate about helping patients live fuller, healthier lives — naturally. That's what drives everything we do at SOTO-USA.

If you've been curious about what SOT chiropractic care could do for you, now is the perfect time to explore it. Find a certified SOT practitioner near you and take the first step toward better health.

Did you know that pelvic blocking is one of the foundational techniques in Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)? By placing specially designed wedge-shaped blocks under the pelvis, the body's own weight gently corrects pelvic distortions — allowing the nervous system to function at its best. This non-force approach works with gravity rather than against it, making it a uniquely comfortable and effective Category 1 correction. Experience the difference that a balanced pelvis can make for your overall health! 🌿

"Chiropractic Management of Infantile Colic Using Sacro-Occipital Technique: A Case Report"
By: Dr. Charles Blum, DC

Infantile colic affects up to 20% of newborns and leaves many parents searching desperately for relief. In this case report, Dr. Blum documents how SOT-based chiropractic care — including gentle cranial and sacral adjusting — was applied to an infant presenting with classic colic symptoms. The results showed a significant reduction in crying episodes and improved feeding patterns following a short course of care. This case highlights the potential of SOT's whole-body, neurologically-focused approach even in our youngest patients.

What if the key to lasting pain relief wasn't just treating the symptom - but rebalancing the entire system? 🌿

That's exactly what SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique) is all about. Developed to address the relationship between the sacrum and the occiput, SOT Category 2 and 3 care focuses on pelvic instability and the neurological patterns that affect your whole body - from your spine to your extremities.

At SOTO-USA, our certified practitioners are trained to identify which category of care your body needs and apply precise, gentle adjustments that work WITH your body's natural healing intelligence - not against it.

Whether you're dealing with chronic low back pain, hip instability, or nerve-related symptoms, SOT offers a structured, evidence-informed approach that gets to the root cause.

This is the kind of care that changes lives - and it's what we teach, practice, and champion every day.
