Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)
Explanation and Benefits

Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) is a gentle, comprehensive chiropractic approach that focuses on the relationship between the sacrum (base of the spine) and the occiput (base of the skull). By analyzing and correcting imbalances in this vital connection, SOT aims to restore proper cerebrospinal fluid flow, improve neurological function, and enhance overall health.

How is SOT Administered?

The core of SOT involves placing specially designed wedge-shaped blocks under the patient’s pelvis. This leverages the patient’s body weight to create gentle, sustained pressure, facilitating spinal and pelvic realignment. Additionally, SOT addresses cranial bone movement and cerebrospinal fluid flow through gentle manual techniques. Unlike forceful manipulations, SOT prioritizes subtle adjustments and the body’s natural healing abilities.

This holistic approach recognizes the interconnectedness of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, aiming to correct the underlying cause of dysfunction. SOT’s gentle nature makes it suitable for a wide range of patients, and it requires specialized training, emphasizing the importance of seeking care from a qualified SOT chiropractor.
