ACC RAC Conferences - March 14-16, 2013 - Washington DC
Papers Presented at the 2012 Conference and Accepted for the 2013 Conference
The ACC RAC conference is one of the most prestigious chiropractic research conferences regularly attended by college presidents, research and technique chairs, and many other influential doctors and practitioners affecting the future of chiropractic and healthcare. Since SOTO-USA's inception in 1999 we have attended every conference and had a paper accepted at every ACC RAC conference possible.
This year we will be presenting 5 papers at the 2013 ACC RAC Conference:
- The correlation of the arm-fossa test with other sacroiliac findings: a feasibility study.
Robert Cooperstein, Charles Blum, Elaine Cooperstein
- Chiropractic and dentistry- the need for mutual understanding of TMD co-treatment: a case report.
Charles Blum, Rebecca Griffiths
- Treatment of low back pain in pregnancy with sacro occipital technique (SOT): a case report.
Aimee Carroll, Charles Blum
- Pregnancy, sacroiliac joint laxity, and the SOT category two pelvic distortion: a case series.
Rodney Shelley, Charles Blum
- Sitting disc technique and the relationship to the straight leg raise: a retrospective case series of thirty patients.
Harvey Getzoff
At the 2013 ACC RAC Conference SOT will be represented in a specific workshop entitled, "Enhancing the Integration of Chiropractic Technique, Academia, and Research."
In many instances, there has been evidence of an undercurrent of general disdain between chiropractic academia directed towards our chiropractic techniques, and similarly an overall sense of mistrust towards chiropractic academia by chiropractic technique developers and users. Some chiropractic college technique departments have attempted to integrate chiropractic techniques by separating parts of a technique and integrating them into a "technique package" without apparent awareness of how a part might relate to the whole. While it is evident that some chiropractic techniques make claims without substantive data, it is also clear that there are positive aspects of chiropractic techniques that warrant greater study. Working together, our chiropractic academia and techniques representatives need to find avenues for greater cooperation in developing greater evidence, mutual respect, and awareness of the appropriateness of given techniques either partially or wholly.
Presenters at this workshop will be:
Anthony Rosner, PhD
International College of Applied Kinesiology - USA
Charles L. Blum, DC
Sacro Occipital Technique Organization - USA
Robert Cooperstein, DC
Palmer College of Chiropractic-West
Mitchell Haas, DC, MA
University of Western States
