What Is Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)?
SOT is a unique chiropractic system that focuses on the structural and neurological connection between the sacrum (pelvis) and the occiput (skull) — the two ends of the spine. Through the use of angled pelvic blocks, SOT helps the body correct its own alignment through gentle positioning and gravity.
Unlike traditional adjustments, SOT blocking doesn’t involve twisting or cracking. Instead, your body does the work — relaxing, adjusting, and releasing tension with the support of carefully placed blocks.
​
Conditions SOT Blocking May Help With
SOT is especially helpful for patients with:
-
Chronic or unstable low back pain
-
Pelvic imbalance or leg length discrepancy
-
Tension headaches or TMJ dysfunction
-
Nervous system stress or fatigue
-
Postural changes from pregnancy or prolonged sitting
-
Cranial distortions or cerebrospinal fluid imbalance
Many patients report improved comfort, better body awareness, and more stable spinal function after SOT care.
​
How SOT Chiropractic Works
During an SOT chiropractic visit:
-
Dr. Nate Beyerl will assess your posture, gait, and neurological tone.
-
Soft padded wedges are gently placed under the pelvis in specific positions.
-
As you breathe and relax, your body responds to the support — gradually shifting back toward ideal alignment.
-
Additional cranial or spinal work may be used to support brain-body communication.
Every visit is calming, comfortable, and customized. Many patients describe SOT sessions as deeply relaxing and surprisingly effective.
