Narrative: The objective of this paper is to study the Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) Chiropractic care of a female patient experiencing a chronic sore throat, persistent heartburn and at times difficulty swallowing.
Additionally, she reported various digestive symptoms such as abdominal cramping and bloating along with some upper abdominal pain.
The patient had been experiencing these signs and symptoms for approximately four years, during which she was medically diagnosed with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and has been receiving medical treatment for this condition.
Author note: It is my hope that this case report “will serve as a mini tutorial for others” (1) not only those caring for patients with Gerd but also for chiropractors adjusting patients with other organ and spinal related problems.
