Your Systemic Pain Might Respond Very Well to Sacro-Occipital Technique

Chiropractic Family Wellness Center - Sacro Occipital Technique

At Chiropractic Family Wellness Center, we believe that healing happens best when the body is in balance. One of the most gentle and powerful techniques we offer is Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)—a chiropractic method that restores stability from the base of the spine (the sacrum) to the base of the skull (the occiput).

Unlike traditional forceful adjustments, SOT uses carefully placed blocks, light pressure, and cranial techniques to encourage the body to realign and heal naturally. But how do you know if SOT is right for you?

Here are 5 signs you might benefit from SOT chiropractic care:

1. You Experience Chronic Pelvic or Lower Back Pain

If your hips feel uneven, your lower back constantly aches, or standing for long periods makes your spine feel off-center, you could have a sacral imbalance. SOT helps realign the pelvis and reduce pressure on spinal nerves, promoting long-term relief.

2. You Struggle with Headaches or Jaw Tension (TMJ)

The connection between your pelvis and your skull isn’t just structural—it affects how cerebrospinal fluid flows through your nervous system. If you deal with frequent headaches, sinus pressure, or jaw tightness, SOT’s gentle cranial adjustments may bring you the relief you’ve been missing.

3. You Feel “Out of Sync” But Can’t Pinpoint

Why Sometimes patients come in with no obvious pain but report feeling tired, foggy, or simply “not right.” SOT addresses subtle misalignments that can impact posture, energy, sleep, and even organ function—helping your body feel more grounded and in tune.

4. You’ve Had a Difficult Pregnancy or Postpartum Recovery

Pregnancy dramatically changes pelvic alignment and core stability. SOT is a safe, non-invasive way to support the body during and after pregnancy, making it a favorite among our moms-to-be and new mothers.

5. You Prefer Gentle, Whole-Body Chiropractic Care

SOT is perfect for those seeking a softer approach. Whether you’re new to chiropractic care, nervous about traditional adjustments, or want a method that supports your entire system, SOT offers a holistic path to better health.

At Chiropractic Family Wellness Center, we tailor every treatment plan to meet your unique needs—and SOT is just one of the powerful tools we use to help your body function at its best.
