University City Chiropractor makes annual pilgrimage for knowledge and practice

Dr. Dave Rozeboom, DC – a Chiropractic Doctor who owns the practice at 8390 Delmar Blvd, leaves today for Omaha, Nebraska to attend a Sacro Occipital Technic DeJarnette Seminar.

“This was an annual pilgrimage for me for many years. I have been going there since 1973 when I was a senior at Logan College of Chiropractic. For the last 4 or 5 years this seminar has been held in St. Louis. This year it’s back to its roots in Omaha.” said Dr Rozeboom.

The seminar is sponsored by the Sacro Occipital Research Society, Inc. (SORSI). This is the organization founded by Dr. DeJarnette in 1929 to teach his work.

Dr. DeJarnette was trained as an engineer. When he was severely injured in a boiler explosion on the job, he discovered that he could not get the help he needed from the medical techniques of the time.

Miraculously, he was saved from suicide and found his way to osteopaths and chiropractors in the Heartland of America. Through mostly cranial adjustments by an osteopath, he was brought back to some semblance of health.
