Algometer and Category II Pelvic Blocking and Cranial Protocol
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.
