Blocking Procedures: An expanded approach

Cooperstein R, Lisi AJJournal of the American Chiropractic Association2004 Jan; 41(1): 44-6

ABSTRACT: Using padded wedges to treat mechanical dysfunction of the pelvis is a technique procedure that is practically synonymous with Sacro-Occipital technique (SOT). Although we are not surprised at this, given that it was SOT founder Major DeJarnette, DC who popularized what he termed pelvic “blocking” procedures, there is no reason to limit how we use these wedges (or blocks). DeJarnette primarily employed blocks to correct pelvic torsion, whereas we use them to correct pelvic and other postural faults and clinical conditions. To describe these other approaches, we are going to have to go beyond the three “Categories” DeJarnette identified.
