1 Cranial Adjusting Why adjust the cranium? Do cranial bones really move? How do I find cranial dysfunction? How do I correct it?

2 Why Adjust the Cranium n Spine –majority of movement / compromise –Only 20% of nervous system n Cranium –minority of movement / compromise –But, 80% of nervous system

3 Cranial Motion n Primary Respiration Mechanism n Dry vs. Living Bone n Sutures –Different types –Histology –Study –Fusion = Pathology n Directions of Motion

4 Different Approaches n Five Factors n Cranial Scan

5 Indications for Exam n Trauma n Cranial nerve symptoms n Idiopathic Hypertension n Idiopathic Scoliosis n Endocrine disturbances n TMJ dysfunction n Pelvic Dysfunction n Anything - 5 Factors

6 Cranial Fault Examination n Cranial Fault Examination –Breathing Patterns –Therapy Localization –Challenge –Muscle Weakness Any - 5 Factors SCM / Trapezius

7 Certain Muscles Pec. Maj. Tested together –Temporal Bulge Deep Neck Flexors –Parietal Descent –Internal Frontal SCM –Internal Frontal “Big Deal”

8 Therefore, only 2 major ways to find cranial faults n Challenge n Breathing patterns –5 Factors –Not all faults have these

9 Correction n Rebound Challenge –Except Universal Fault –Except Sagittal Suture

10 Flexion / Extension Faults n Inspiration Assist n Expiration Assist n Sphenobasilar Inspiration Assist n Sphenobasilar Expiration Assist n Glabella

11 Rotational Faults n Temporal Bulge n Parietal Descent n Internal Frontal n External Frontal n Nasosphenoid n Universal

12 Sutural Faults n Sagittal Suture n Sqamousal Suture n Lambdoidal Suture n Zygomatic Sutures

13 Sacral Faults n Inspiration Assist n Expiration Assist n Always Check with? –Cranial and Sutural Faults
