Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints we hear, and it can significantly affect your quality of life. At Village Family Clinic, we’re proud to offer the Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)—a gentle and effective chiropractic method designed to relieve pain, improve posture, and promote overall spinal health.
What is the Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)?
SOT is a specialized chiropractic technique that focuses on balancing the body's structure to promote optimal nervous system function. It works by addressing the relationship between the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of your spine) and the occiput (the bone at the back of your skull). This technique uses gentle pressure and targeted adjustments to realign the spine, relieve tension, and improve overall body function.
How SOT Helps Relieve Lower Back Pain
Restores Proper Alignment
The primary goal of SOT is to correct any misalignments in the sacrum and spine that can cause lower back pain. Misalignments can lead to muscle tension, nerve irritation, and restricted movement. By restoring proper alignment, SOT helps alleviate these discomforts and reduce pain.
Relieves Nerve Pressure
When the sacrum is misaligned, it can put pressure on nerves that travel through the lower back and legs. SOT adjustments help reduce this pressure, allowing the nervous system to function more efficiently and relieving pain caused by nerve irritation.
Improves Posture and Mobility
SOT helps restore balance and symmetry to your body. By improving posture, it reduces the strain on your lower back and supports proper movement patterns, which can prevent future pain and stiffness.
Promotes Natural Healing
The gentle, non-invasive nature of SOT stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities. By encouraging optimal nervous system function, SOT can accelerate recovery and reduce the severity of pain and inflammation.
Targeted Relief for Chronic Pain
If you've been dealing with chronic lower back pain, SOT offers a holistic and lasting solution. With regular treatments, you can experience long-term pain relief and enhanced spinal health.
