SOT-technique-1200-3-1024x1024

SOT is a gentle and effective chiropractic technique that focuses on restoring balance between the pelvis and the base of the skull. These areas are key to how your body moves, how your muscles feel, and how your nervous system functions.

Dr. Rosenberg uses pelvic blocks—soft, angled supports placed under the hips—to help guide your body into better alignment naturally. You simply lie back and let gravity assist the correction. Most people find it relaxing and comfortable.

When your pelvis is out of balance, it can affect everything from your lower back to your neck and even your jaw. By restoring that balance, SOT helps relieve tension, reduce pain, and support your body’s overall function.

Who Can It Benefit?

SOT may help if you’re dealing with:

Low back or pelvic pain
Sciatica
TMJ or jaw tightness
Postural imbalances
General stiffness or discomfort from daily stress

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main goal of SOT?

While getting rid of pain is important, for sure, eliminating pain isn’t the primary objective of a SOT adjustment. The primary goal of an adjustment, and particularly a SOT one, is to normalize the function of the whole body.

How do the blocks work?

The blocks shift your body into a more balanced position, helping release tension, improve nerve flow, and correct alignment without forceful adjustments.

Is SOT safe for children or pregnant individuals?

Yes! SOT is extremely gentle, making it suitable for infants, children, pregnant individuals, and others who may need a more subtle approach to care.

Is this type of adjustment painful?

No. SOT works to a great extent by precisely positioning the body to utilize the weight of gravity and the body to correct the body. There may be some discomfort when we locate specific points of correction. However, patients often report it feels like a “good pain” and is relieving.
