SOTO-USA is dedicated to bringing you the most updated and comprehensive research relating to Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT). Research is the future of chiropractic and SOT. Publishing this research sets the foundation for the future of SOT and protects its future worldwide. The following is a comprehensive list of SOT-related research articles. It is encouraging that most of this research is very supportive of SOT procedures. We urge all doctors to read these materials in order to familiarize yourselves with how others are using SOT and what their results have been.

How else can we grow, learn and modify our technique and diagnostic methods to fit our discoveries and stay current in the scientific community? The research department of SOTO-USA is goal oriented and seeks to minimize promises while focusing on action and results.
