DR. NICK MAVROSTOMOS, D.C. ,CKTP

More About the Doctor

Dr. Nick Mavrostomos has studied and practices a technique named sacrooccipital technique, (S.O.T).  S.O.T. is a method of Chiropractic based primarily on the identification and treatment of three bodily systems (called Categories): the cranial sacral respiratory system, the weight-bearing system and the function of the lumbar spine. The cranial sacral mechanism is a combination of integrated functions that support, nourish and enhance the performance of the nervous system as it controls bodily functions. It is a gentle, non-force technique unlike the osseous adjusting that most are familiar with. The time involved per adjustment is about 15 minutes.

In S.O.T., structural analysis is based on objective clinical findings (indicators). These methods are based on normal physiology and how the physiology should react under certain conditions. Once these indicators are collected, the S.O.T. Chiropractor makes judgments as to the best treatment approach.

Included in S.O.T. is Chiropractic Manipulation Reflex Technique (CMRT). CMRT is a system of
organ function analysis and treatment as it relates to the spine and the occipital tendon insertions. This method not only allows you to find the major vertebral subluxation but also the degree of involvement, (cerebrospinal-meningeal, vertebral visceral or structural-vertebral). CMRT teaches a method of adjusting the vertebrae subluxation along with soft tissue reflexes to nourish the organ. The occipital fibers are based on the ability of the proprioceptive system (Golgi Tendons) to respond to muscles influenced by spinal subluxations and visceral and meningeal disturbances. CMRT allows the S.O.T.  Chiropractor to take a whole person approach to health. S.O.T. also employs trapezius fiber analysis with spinal palpation to define spinal subluxation and cervical indicators to define lumbar subluxation.

Dr. Nick also is studying towards a Diplomat in Chiropractic Rehabilitative Exercises and a member of the Council on Chiropractic Physiological Therapeutics and Rehabilitation. Rehabilitation of muscles that are not in balance is an integral part of getting well and staying well. If you are only adjusted and proper balance is not achieved, the adjustments cannot hold since muscles are the only movers of your bones and joints.

S.O.T. Chiropractors realize that the body is a unified system with all parts in relationship and that the maintenance of the cranial sacral respiratory system and the weight-bearing system are primary.
