SORSI Research

SORSI was created to conduct and support research of Index Medicus quality for the investigation and validation of SOT and SOT Craniopathic anatomy, physiology and clinical procedures.

SORSI is charged with the responsibility of exploring the scientific basis of Sacro Occipital Technique and SOT Craniopathy and disseminate research information worldwide . It is also responsible for funding of SOT research and accumulating and disseminating information from researchers around the world. SORSI also evaluates and explores new chiropractic techniques for possible inclusion into the SOT and SOT Cranial procedures.

Objectives

The objectives of research explored will include the following:

A) Basic science research

1) investigation of the cranio-sacral mechanism
2) anatomical investigation
3) physiological effects
4) histological tissue changes

B) Clinical Studies

1) viscerosomatic effects
2) somatovisceral effects
3) female disorders
4) cerebrovascular problems

5) dystrophic and degenerative changes
6) geriatric and pediatric SOT

The duties of SORSI is to provide ongoing efforts to promote SOT and SOT Craniopathy through research and through the substantiation and ongoing exploration of current and future technique. These directors are charged with the responsibility to safeguard the integrity of the scientific basis of SOT and SOT Craniopathy.

Current and Ongoing Research Projects

At present, a number of investigations are underway. These vary from bench- oriented investigations, utilizing MRI studies to determine anatomical changes, to outcome measurements of efficacy of treatment protocol.

DeJarenette's Publications: To understand the Major's research in the development of S O T, CMRT and craniopathy,you would have to study his written materials from 1931 through the present date 1986. Each book is a documentation of the research accomplished to that date and each development is contained in the succeeding books, This is perhaps the best documented research period in chiropractic.For a complete PDF list of publications by DeJarnette, click here.
