    “I wanted a better understanding of the 3 categories in the SOT protocol. I wished to gain more clinical knowledge to educate other doctors and patients in the future.

    Dr. Marty & Dr. Nancy make themselves available and really break the content down into digestible tidbits that make it easier to understand. Years of expertise that Dr. Marty & Dr. Nancy are invaluable!

    I hope by creating an understanding of SOT that I can professionally help teach others in the future through chiropractic college elective course work.

    I have applied some of the Pediatric program into my office application. Recently an infant was brought to my office with moderate to severe cranial distortions. She was not crawling and was on the verge of being referred for a helmet. With consistent cranial care we were able to get cranial measurements in a mild range and closer to normal helping avoid expensive helmets. Infant began to meet additional milestones as well as felt comfortable during tummy time.

    Keep being a source for chiropractors! You are quite the pair! Let’s get you back to Nebraska soon!”

    SOT provides a deeper look into the functioning of the nervous system and the role of the dural meningeal system in nervous system functioning, chronic patterns, and clues that the source of dysfunction may not be local to the area of pain but may be a compensation above or below. SOT provides an extra key to unlocking the nervous system with the cranial distortion evaluation and how it plays a part in the dural meningeal system, CSF flow and more. The SOT evaluation helps to give better understanding of the capacity to which a person’s nervous system is functioning beyond the everyday ortho and neurological exams taught in school. It is more of a qualitative nervous system analysis rather than a specific diagnostic problem because the nervous system functions as a whole.

    I have been able to provide a unique/different technique in my area that is starting to give some results with patients so hopefully will attract more in the future.

    This technique has been able to keep me from over adjusting my patients and learning to trust the indicators rather than what I may be feeling without the use of the indicators. For one patient the indicators encouraged me to adjust the cervicals differently which has helped. For another patient having lots of neck pain and not making progress with another provider I was able to determine it was an ascending pattern and the problem was more in his pelvis and sacrum and releasing the AI sacrum was providing the most relief.

    Yes, I would recommend this course. I think it helps to have more tools in the toolbox for when you become “stuck” with patient progress and learning to read the body’s indicators helps to provide direction to help them. Also, the role the dural meningeal system plays in nervous system health is not taught in schools so I think it could provide better and more lasting results if the system is unwound.

    I learned about how different each Category is and the adjustment protocol for each Category. It also gives me a better way to explain to the patient what is going on with their body.

    It gives me more insights about different subluxations and a different perspective from what was taught in uni.

    I used Category II assessment on my patient, and following the protocol, the symptoms actually got better.

    Yes, I would recommend this course because it gives me a detailed insight into SOT paradigm.

    Great content!

    The concept is that the cervical and lumbar spine are interconnected, so rather than treating only the affected area, it is essential to also address other spinal regions that could be the root cause of the issue.

    I now perform more detailed examinations when seeing patients, making it easier to explain their condition to them. Additionally, I’ve become more mindful of taking care of my own body as well.

    After providing more detailed adjustments to the temporomandibular joint and upper cervical spine for a headache patient, they were satisfied, saying their vision improved and their headaches got better.

    As a neurologist practicing chiropractic in Korea, I found the SOT classes to be incredibly valuable.

    Great value. Professional and good customer service/product. SOT is the bomb!

    Take a listen and find out why after 26 years in practice and I am wondering what the hell I was doing before. I could go on but I think you get it.

    Simple but profound. 80-year-old woman…regular of mine. Stenosis, check ok nic pain but living independently. After a few visits with SOT, she came in floating through the office (by comparison). I could feel buoyancy throughout her spine despite her challenges.

    I would recommend this course: logical, anatomically and clinically sound paradigm to deliver ultra-helpful subluxation care grounded in science.

    Keep it up!!
