Narrative: DeJarnette was a researcher, author, teacher and developer of the SOT systems method of Chiropractic. DeJarnette stated in his 1967 book Philosophy, Science and Art of SOT that:
‘Man is a segmental unit of a great many diversified structures and chemical elements, blended into one cooperative functional unit by the nervous system. This total segmental being is made to function through his muscular system’s response to stimuli. The framework is held together by ligaments, and all revolve around the central spinal column. Let this central column fail in any respect and the total is out of harmony and balance’.
Here I describe the pain and spinal patterns that clinically indicate an SOT Category Three and offer treatment approaches which I have found effective in practice to deliver predictable outcomes.
