Most patients do not realize the importance of the cranial bones that form our head. All the individual bones of the cranium allow for motion to circulate cerebrospinal fluid through-out the brain and spinal column. The cranium pumps the cerebrospinal fluid six to twelve times per minute. There is also a membrane called dura-matter that attaches from the cranium to the upper neck vertebrae and also lines the spinal cord all the way to the sacrum.

Why this is so crucial is cranial bone misalignments cause many health problems that can only be resolved by cranial manipulations. In my 45 years of practice, I have trained extensively in cranial corrections and believe it to be one of my greatest healing techniques. It is safe, gentle and very effective. 

Some of the indicators for cranial lesions are headaches, jaw pain, eye disturbances, tinnitus, hearing problems, sinus infections, ear infections, vertigo, blood pressure problems, hormonal imbalances, neck pain, chiropractic adjustments that don’t hold, Meniere’s disease, dental occlusion problems, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and a host of other painful symptoms. 

Many chiropractors emphasize the importance of upper cervical adjusting to fix spinal problems, yet I have never seen that to work without cranial adjusting. I personally believe all chiropractors should use cranial manipulation routinely to get the best results.
