The Basic Approach to SOT, Categories I, II and III

This book is the result of several years of self study of the works of Dr. Major Bertrand De Jarnette coupled with 44 years of chiropractic practice. It is not intended to replace the very valuable hands-on training offered by the various SOT organizations around the world. It is meant for the senior student or DC who is interested in this amazing approach to chiropractic called Sacro Occipital Technic (SOT). With this book the student and doctor of SOT can gain an understanding of the analysis and treatment protocols that have been so successful in helping patients through difficult times and painful episodes of spinal origin. It goes beyond mere pain relief. SOT looks to the integrity and balance of the entire spine, correcting the cause of the imbalance as well as the myriad of secondary problems that can arise.
