Mechanical dysfunction of the pelvis often presents a challenge in chiropractic care. Traditional methods focus on correcting pelvic torsion using padded wedges, a technique closely linked with the Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT). This approach, popularized by Major DeJarnette, DC, has been effective but somewhat limited in scope. Recent insights suggest that these blocking procedures can be applied more broadly to address various pelvic and postural faults, offering a more v

Leg length discrepancies often present a challenge in chiropractic, physical therapy, and osteopathic care. Distinguishing between a functional short leg and an anatomical short leg is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. The study by Cooperstein and Lisi explores how ankle joint complex range of motion, leg checks, pelvic landmarks, and radiological findings relate to each other, offering insights that can improve clinical assessments. The Challenge of Mea

Pelvic torsion, a condition where the innominate bones rotate in opposite directions, can affect posture, movement, and overall spinal health. Chiropractors often use various methods to identify and correct this misalignment. One technique involves blocking the pelvis with padded wedges, a method closely linked to the Sacro-occipital Technique. Traditionally, practitioners identify pelvic torsion by checking leg length discrepancies in a prone position. However, a study by Co
