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 2001 we have had a paper accepted at every ACC RAC conference possible.
This year we presented 4 papers at the 2013 ACC RAC Conference:
- The correlation of the arm-fossa test with other sacroiliac findings: a feasibility study.
Cooperstein R, Blum CL, Cooperstein E
- Chiropractic and dentistry- the need for mutual understanding of TMD co-treatment: a case report.
Blum CL, Griffiths R

At the 2013 ACC RAC Conference SOT was represented in a specific workshop entitled, "Enhancing the Integration of Chiropractic Technique, Academia, and Research."
Presenters at this workshop were:
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
Stephen Perle, DC
University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic
Michael Schneider, DC, PhD
University of Pittsburgh
Arlan Fuhr, DC
Activator Methods International, Ltd.
Dr. Blum presented at the workshop the concept of why it is necessary to include the SOT protocols with the use of pelvic blocks in the college setting, instead of just using the blocks "biomechanically." The concept was that there was more evidence or rational for how blocks are used within SOT and those colleges that do not use SOT protocols were using other methods that had less evidence.
