Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a health care system that diagnoses and treats mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving overall well-being. Chiropractic treatment is based on the premise that a spinal joint misalignment, which we call a vertebral subluxation, can interfere with the nervous system and result in many different conditions of diminished health. Treatments typically include spinal adjustments to correct the vertebral subluxation, though we may use other holistic interventions as well.

We blend and integrate many chiropractic techniques to treat the presenting symptoms and needs of the patient. Some of these techniques include Sacro Occipital Technique, Applied Kinesiology, Advanced BioStructural Correction, and NeuroCranial Restructuring.

Central to the restoration of health is the cranial sacral respiratory mechanism. All the systems of the body have both a direct and indirect relationship to this mechanism (endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, etc.). Sacro Occipital Technique (or S.O.T.) was the first chiropractic technique to recognize and focus on this essential function of the body.

S.O.T. is a complete system of health care that includes:

  • Chiropractic Manipulative Reflex Technique (CMRT) is an organized and effective approach to dealing with the viscero-somatic reflexes that are present in so many patients and that are a common cause of chronic subluxation.
  • SOT Chiropractic Craniopathy deals with the relationship of cranial stress patterns, dural dysfunction and sutural fixation to the spine and to specific cranial symptoms. SOT Craniopathy deals with the 80% of the nervous system that a strictly spinal approach may be missing.
  • The Category System of Patient Analysis. The category system refers to the primary system dysfunctions recognized by M.B. DeJarnette as most common all-inclusive on patients seen in the chiropractor's office.
  • Category I refers to fixation of the synovial sacro iliac boot, with associated meningeal system disruption. The spinal and intracranial dura is involved, along with the neurology, physiology and reflexes of the central nervous system.
  • Category II has to do with dysfunctions of the weight-bearing parts of the sacro iliac joints. This usually involves a tear, sprain or strain of the hyaline part of the sacro iliac joint, and can have far-reaching consequences due to the effect that this problem has on proprioception, the muscular system, and the temporomandibular mechanism and cranial sutures.
  • Category III involves the discs and their blood supply. This is the category of most acute low back pain patients. SOT has special procedures for the care of these patients that is both effective and safe

Dr. Eversage realizes that the body is a unified system with all parts in relationship and that the maintenance of the cranial sacral respiratory system and the weight-bearing system are primary.
