ACC RAC Conferences - March 20-12, 2014 - Orlando, Florida
Papers Presented at the 2013 Conference and Accepted for the 2014 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 4 papers at the 2014 ACC RAC Conference:
- SOT chiropractic and acupuncture for SLAP tear: A case report.
Christine Benner, Charles Blum
- Orofacial myofunctional therapy: A Case Report.
Joy Moeller, Charles Blum
- Chiropractic Intervention of Zenker's Diverticulum: A case report.
William Boro
- The influence of chiropractic treatment in patients the insulin resistance associated with diabetes type II: A case series.
Fabio dal Bello, Patricia Bergesch, Charles Blum
At the 2014 ACC RAC Conference SOT will be represented in a specific workshop entitled, "The Interface between Clinical Practice and Clinical Research in Chiropractic Technique: Bridging the Gap between Knowledge Transfer and Knowledge Utilization."
Presenters at last year's Technique Workshop were quick to point out that a series of case studies does not an 'evidence-base' make, while some presenters took great pride in championing a technique system approach they favor, while still other presenters bemoaned the profession itself for tolerating fringe practices. These kinds of presentations do little to advance the profession forward.
This Workshop starts from a different premise altogether. Let us assume that some technique system procedures are found to be clinically effective, some are found to be inert, and the research evidence for the usefulness of the vast majority of the other procedures is found to be inconclusive. This begs two questions: (i) So what? And more importantly (ii) "Now What"?
Presenters at this workshop will be:
Brian Gleberzon, DC, MHSc
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College
Charles L. Blum, DC
Sacro Occipital Technique Organization - USA
Christopher Roecker, DC
Palmer College of Chiropractic-Davenport
Deed Harrison, DC
Chiropractic Biophysics
Scott Cuthbert, DC
International College of Applied Kinesiology - USA
David Sikorski, DC
Southern California University of Health Sciences
For the past March 2013 ACC RAC Conference we had five papers accepted:
- 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.

North American Brain Injury Society (NABIS) Conference
26th Annual NABIS Conference, New Orleans, Louisiana, September 18 - 21, 2013.
We are proud to announce that this year Ryan Pollard shared an oral presentation of his paper at the NABIS interdisciplinary conference.
Pollard R, Blum CL. Chiropractic Care and Its Effects on A Patient with a Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury. Reference 0046. North American Brain Injury Society's 11th Annual Conference on Brain Injury. September 18-21, 2013. New Orleans, Louisiana.
The focus of the paper was the effectiveness of SOT chiropractic care on a patient with a moderate traumatic brain injury and the importance of "supportive care" with these types of patients.
The essence of supportive care, is that while not expected to "cure the patient" this care supports a patient's activities of daily living, prevents worsening of symptoms and asymmetry, and continually works toward the possibility of improvement.
