CATEGORY II SUBLUXATION

When ligaments in the pelvis stretch and tear the sacro?iliac joint separates and the sacrum slips on one side; the spine becomes imbalanced, the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned and the nerve roots down the entire spinal cord can become irritated and compressed, effecting normal neurological function.

The separation of the sacro-iliac weight bearing joint as shown below results in reciprocal distortion in the shoulder girdle and neck, as well as disrupting the balance of other weight bearing joints such as the knees, ankles and arches of the feet.

Thus category II symptoms may be varied and distant from the vicinity of the pelvis, and may include some of the following:
* jaw problems
* neck pain
* ear pain, loss of balance, tinitis
* lateral headaches
* shoulder, arm, hand pain
* lateral chest pain
* groinal pain
* lateral thigh pain
* knee, ankle and feet problems
* hypoglycaemia
* menstrual problems
* low back pain

T.M.J. DYSFUNCTION

The Temporo-Mandibular Joint (T.M.J.) or the Jaw Joint has a reciprocal relationship with the sacro?iliac joint and is therefore reliant on the stability of the sacro?iliac joint. In a Category II weight bearing sacro?iliac separation, the T.M.J. will change its position to compensate and can bring about changes that can affect the bite, balance, hearing and neck position.
This must always be a consideration in the chronic Category II. (see below).

CATEGORY II CORRECTION


The correction of the Category II Syndrome is accomplished by using the weight of your body on mechanical levers (wedge shaped blocks) to close the separated sacro-iliac joint.

You will notice an immediate improvement in the strength of your arms as the blocks achieve their objective.
