Abstract/Notes

Introduction: The intention of this paper is to present a cranial bone adjustment method that can be primarily used for all three Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) categories, and to share a three-part cranial indicator analysis that specifies the needed side for the adjustment.

To help build a substantive rational for this intervention a retrospective analysis of 85 patients was undertaken. Also shared is a five-part cranial adjusting procedure that can be used for all three SOT categories

Methods: A retrospective review of the records of 85 patients was performed to assess the three-part cranial indicator analysis to help determine the optimal side for the cranial adjusting of the zygoma. 

Results: A consistency was found between analysis of craniofacial range of motion (ROM) testing and head tilt. These results helped guide the side and location to focus the craniofacial adjustments.

Conclusion: This retrospective study of 85 patients yielded interesting correlative findings for the indicators of lateral head tilt, zygomatic ROM, and facial analysis to determine optimal side of zygomatic adjustment.
