About this study
Official title: An Investigation of Algometer Readings for DeJarnette Category II Indicators After Category II Blocking and Cranial Protocol
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
- Pain, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
- Being tested
- Category II Pelvic Blocking, Category II Pelvic Blocking and Cranial, Cranial Only

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Category II Pelvic BlockingProcedure or surgery
Supine Orthopedic Blocking consists of placing padded wedges underneath the Ilium and greater trochanter to correct pelvic torsion and associated sacroiliac dysfunction.
Category II Pelvic Blocking and CranialProcedure or surgery
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.
Cranial OnlyProcedure or surgery
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.
