Dear Colleague:

Another successful year for SOT has been completed with the conclusion of the Clinical Symposium in Dallas, Texas October 23-26th. This is a perfect time to look back at what we have accomplished so far and to look ahead to our future.

Please don't miss SOTO-USA's 10th Annual CLINICAL SYMPOSIUM, October 22-25th, 2009, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In this update we will feature: The Presidential Address from Robert Monk, DC, The SOT Compendium--What is It?, The SOTO-USA Position Statement on the relationship between the TMJ and the pelvis, A list of our upcoming Regional Seminars, The new and exciting SOT Mentor Program, and SOT Enters a Top Chiropractic Pediatrics Text.

Due to popular request a "one-take" video discussing the highlights of what SOTO-USA has accomplished can be viewed by clicking here.

 

SOTO-USA's President's Address


 

Dr. Monk It's hard to believe that we've been in existence barely ten years and yet have accomplished so much.

This year marks the successful completion of the NEW Compendium of Sacro Occipital Technique, a collection of SOT Peer - Reviewed Literature from 2000-2005 (compiled by SOTO-USA [with a forward by Robert Cooperstein, MA, DC). This may just be the single most important research collection ever compiled for the serious student of SOT and it represents another major milestone in a list of contributions by SOTO-USA.

In the works for 2009 are two new books: the first will be an illustrated guide to Intra-Oral Adjusting; the second, a revised and updated book about SOT adjusting techniques for TMJ/TMD. Both these books will be unveiled at our next clinical symposium in Las Vegas in October of 2009.

Speaking of symposiums, our last event in Dallas was the best one yet...

Compendium of SOT Literature 2000-2005


 

2000-05 Compendium The SOT Compendium 2000-2005 is finally available and in print.

What is it?

All the peer review SOT and SOT Cranial related articles published from 2000-2005 are in full text, encyclopedic form, along with all published conference abstracts from that time period also.

Who needs it?

Any SOT doctor who needs to support their care with insurance companies, state boards, or in a court case. It is a valuable reference text, which also has valuable information on how to do some innovative SOT techniques, such as Dural Port Therapy, SOT and Pilates for Scoliosis, and Releasing of Dura through Coughing. There are even various articles on cranial treatments for pediatric patients.

Why bother?

If you want SOT to continue developing an evidence base then we need to support those writing and gathering that research. This book took approximately 3 years of work by about 25 doctors, totaling approximately 1000 hours or more, and it was all performed by volunteers. While the cost and time was monumental it doesn't take into account the 100s of hours each author took to write each article.

Is it worth the $55?

$55 is a small price to invest in the future of SOT and our practices. If you try to find one article online you will be paying in the range or $20-25 per article. So the 28 full text articles and 28 conference abstracts all in on place is a bargain.

What is next?

If we can get the support of the SOT community the next volume will be from 2005-2010. We will then have the first SOT Compendium 1984- 2000, the second SOT Compendium 2000- 2005, and a future of SOT Compendiums for those who come after us to build upon.

Take the step to secure your practice's future and the future of SOT. You have to imagine that Dr. DeJarnette would be smiling as he flipped through the SOT Compendium 1984- 2000 and the current new one.

The relationship between the pelvis and stomatognathic system


 A SOTO-USA Position Statement

An emerging theme within the evidence base of dental and structural healthcare professions is the presence of a relationship between the stomatognathic system and posture. Symptoms of temporomandibular/craniomandibular disorders (TMD/CMDs) within the stomatognathic system vary but often involve pain in the jaw musculature, pain or difficulty when opening the mouth and chewing, headaches, and ear pain. While the pelvis and TMJ might seem to be distal and unrelated aspects of our patient's presenting symptoms, research is suggesting otherwise.

The research does indicate there is a chain of kinematic factors functionally linking the structural components of the axial skeleton...
