Sacro-Occipital Technique

The most important difference between Major’s technique and regular chiropractic care is the use of indicators. Every adjustment given with Sacro-Occipital provides a signal as to what other places may need adjusting. Tension in different connective tissues at the base of the skull let the practitioner know which individual vertebrae in the spine need adjusting. The first treatment provides a baseline for future care. By measuring tension in those same tissues in future visits, the practitioner can tell whether the procedure is improving the patient’s condition, and by how much. No x-rays are required to obtain noticeable and measurable results.

The main concern of Sacro-Occipital practitioners is the cranial sacral oscillation. This is a wave-like motion in the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It is a subtle motion, but having it, and making sure it is normal, is crucial to the normal functioning of those areas of the body. In fact, because the brain and spinal cord are connected so intimately to the rest of the body, a normal cranial sacral oscillation is crucial to the proper functioning of everything in the body. Adjustments in the cranial area, which are used in the Sacro-Occipital technique, bring the oscillation into balance if it is unbalanced, and can thus correct any other imbalances and cause of pain in the body, eliminating all kinds of issues.

Even if you don’t feel immediate pain after a car accident, you may have suffered from bodily damage that isn’t immediately apparent. For example, whiplash occurs when your neck and head jerk quickly. Unfortunately, this damage can sometimes be hard to notice but can lead to symptoms like headaches and upper back pain that seems unrelated to the neck.

Another common issue that isn’t immediately apparent after a car accident is rotator cuff injury. These injuries may cause immediate pain or linger for months or even years without treatment. Even worse, the pain can spread through your body in unpredictable ways. Thankfully, they can be managed with specialized chiropractic care.
