We at Nomad Chiropractic utilise a few different chiropractic techniques within our clinic but all 3 of us are trained in Sacro Occipital technique… So what does that mean?

The Basis of S.O.T:
Man is a biped and manifests his basic health needs in the biped position and shows his greatest defects in that same position.
Man is neurologically controlled. He is moved by muscles that move bones.
Man’s Sacro-iliac mechanism is his basis. It is the only human articulation not
controlled by muscles and it supports man with one of its segments and gives life
with the other.
Life begins with Sacral Boot Motion. Life ends when that motion ceases. The
motion is know as “the Primary Sacral Respiratory Mechanism”.
Man’s nervous system is activated by C.S.F.. This fluid is kept in motion by a
wave-like motion found in dural membranes and the rhythmic motion of man’s sacral boot mechanism – this motion activates further secretion of fluid from the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles, which are a glucose regulating mechanism.
Man is a vertebral system based upon motion and function equalling each other and controlled by Newton’s third law of motion which states “for every motion and opposing motion, there must be an equal and opposite motion”.
The Dura misaligns the vertebra, the vertebra does not misalign the dura.
A normal birth is L.O.A. (6%) Birth in any other position is virtually an assurance of
health problems throughout life.
All humans have a primary Subluxation- Occipital or Sacral. Each will remain
primary throughout life. Health is not possible in the presence of a primary and the abilities that exist in that person are gained at a great expense to the balance of his mechanism.
Man’s symptoms are but classified terms for the expression of pain or other abnormal conditions. Symptoms do not point to primary areas of neurological interferences.
All estimates of man’s health needs must be basically gained by a study of human in an upright position and in that position man can be placed into one of three categories no matter what his symptomatology or his basic trauma, eliminating fractures, dislocations and open wounds.
Categories are man’s only logical methods of expressing inabilities to live normally.
Man subluxates himself. Therefore if man is properly positioned and specific parts are supported, his respiratory efforts will produce a controlled correction, which is far safer, more logical than would be forced correction. Therefore man can reverse his position of sub- luxation himself.
The study of S.O.T. is then the study of the above principles in Category Step procedures.
Chiropractic is far more than just a bone out of place. It’s a holistic approach to your overall health using your spine as the window to your nervous system health. Curious? Have questions? Get in touch!
