COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT) presents a system of chiropractic analysis and correction as developed by Major Bertrand DeJarnette, D.C., D.O.   This category system establishes a logical and effective structure for diagnosis and treatment based upon three identifiable and interrelated systems of body reaction.  Each of the categories is marked by its own symptomatology and technique correction.

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
This course is designed to focus the student's attention on the relationship of the structural and neurological aspects of the spinal segments and how they are involved in the restoration and preservation of  natural health.  By so doing, students will be better prepared to become Doctors of Chiropractic, who will then serve as primary health care providers, and perpetuate chiropractic services world-wide for the benefit of mankind.  Students who successfully complete this course should be able to effectively analyze, diagnose, and adjust spinal subluxations according to SOT protocols.
