Chiropractic Craniopathy is a specialty within chiropractic and Sacro Occipital Therapy, a method of chiropractic that includes the whole body, not just the spine. It is a system of analysis that guides the doctor to the source of the physical stress, be it from muscles, organs, spine, pelvis, extremities or cranium. It’s overall goal is to bring balance to the autonomic nervous system- the system that controls rest-repair and fight-flight which deals with the 23 movable bones of the skull and the membranes that support and protect the brain and spinal cord. Like any other chiropractic method, Craniopathy’s goal is to remove physical stress from the nervous system, 80% of which resides in the skull. The types of conditions helped by Craniopathy are best demonstrated by what it can do for children and can produce dramatic changes in behavior, learning abilities and motor skills. A three month old boy who had cried non-stop and did not sleep well for three months more than likely due to over stimulation of the sensory area of the brain was 80% better within three visits. By restoring balance to the cranium, his nervous system was better able to adapt to his surroundings. A three year old boy with autism who couldn’t stand or sit still, stood quietly holding his mother’s hand for the first time in his life after being worked on. Many infants that have trouble feeding, have regurgitation, colic are usually helped by Chiropractic Craniopathy because the nerves that control sucking, swallowing and digestion are cranial nerves, exiting from the base of the skull.
