By Major Bertrand DeJarnette
Reflex Pain by Major Bertrand DeJarnette was first published in 1934, and the techniques and principles set down then, still apply today. This softcover reprint of that edition should be in the library of every chiropractic and osteopathic student and doctor. The book is 285 pages with many illustrations and is easy to follow and understand.
Brief Introduction
It has been the consensus of opinion amongst doctors that it would take a chronic patient months if not years to recover. In using the Sacro Occipital Technic we have seen chronic patients respond immediately and in many instances have seen one treatment completely restore the patient to health. If the correct thing is done in the correct manner and if enough vitality remains, the patient must respond. Some patients will recover from chronic ailments without acute reactions, while others will react acutely. No one has ever yet figured out how to make every patient do exactly as you would like them to do and for that reason this technic is flexible enough to meet all crises as they occur.
It must be borne in mind that the technic must not be fitted to the patient by what the patient says is wrong, for if a patient complained violently of lumbago and you fitted your technic to the patients verbal statements, you would often times find that the patient was complaining far out of accord with the severity of the condition. The technic is to be fitted to the patient by what your tests reveal to be wrong, not altogether by what the patient says is wrong.
A patient may complain that the trouble is in the foot, while your analysis shows that the trouble is at the occiput. In this instance, if you adjusted where the patient complained you would accomplish nothing, but if you adjust where the lesion is the pain in the foot will disappear.
The human body is a segmental union, all parts must function harmoniously to have perfect balance. We must not treat the segmental spinal area that corresponds to the segmental body area empirically, for often times an area of the spine far removed from the injured segmental body area will be the indicated lesion to correct. By tracing your reflex spinal areas, as set forth in this book, you will be enabled at all times to arrive at the correct lesioned area.
It is easy to say that an Atlas or Axis is always the trouble and refuse to look further. You may say that you cared for a case of sciatica and that you adjusted the Atlas and the patient got well, but you will also have to admit that you have cared for many cases of sciatica when an Atlas adjustment had no influence upon the restoration of the patient to normal. No one can chart the human body and tell you where to adjust for any disease or how to adjust for any disease. General rules can be laid down, plans for analysis can be adopted, but a scrutinizing search must be made by the operator to locate the lesioned area. We shall not endeavor to tell you where to adjust for mumps or any other condition. We shall lay down laws of physical conduct that shall guide you in your search for the offending segmental area and shall show you how to correct this area when found.

Set of 4 Charts based on the book - Reflex Pain
The laminated charts are 11" X 17". The first chart contains the occipital localizations used in the sacral occipital technique (SOT). Shows the localizations of all the vertebra and how they relate to each other according to Bertrand DeJarnette in his book Reflex Pain. The second chart labels the bones of the pelvis along with the major ligament attachments. The third chart shows the actions of the muscles of the leg and their relationship to the pelvis. The fourth chart shows the importance of the leg muscles in balancing and stabilizing the body.
The images used in the charts are from the early 1900's and bring a turn of the century look to the office. Artwork that is also educational.
