Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship of pelvic blocking and protocol for cranial adjusting with specific pain areas as outlined by Dr. Bertrand DeJarnette in the Category II/sacroiliac protocol. An algometer will be used to determine the level of pain at specific points before and after each treatment of pelvic blocking with or without cranial adjusting.

Conditions

• Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Category II Pelvic Blocking	Supine Orthopedic Blocking consists of placing padded wedges underneath the Ilium and greater trochanter to correct pelvic torsion and associated sacroiliac dysfunction.
PROCEDURE	Category II Pelvic Blocking and Cranial	Supine Orthopedic Blocking consists of placing padded wedges underneath the Ilium and greater trochanter to correct pelvic torsion and associated sacroiliac dysfunction. During pelvic blocking a cranial procedure is performed using a zygomae release and sphenobasilar release. These cranial procedures are manual therapy procedures using light pressure from hand and/or finger contacts.
PROCEDURE	Cranial Only	Without pelvic blocking a cranial procedure is performed using a zygomae release and sphenobasilar release. These cranial procedures are manual therapy procedures using light pressure from hand and/or finger contacts.
