Cranial Adjustments

Cranial subluxations or cranial ‘faults’ can cause a wide range of symptoms from headaches and blurred vision to learning problems in children. They can occur during childbirth, an injury during childhood, or through head trauma or concussion.

The skull is made up of a number of separate bones that fit together like a puzzle. The amount of movement between bones is very small, but if these bones are misaligned they can in extreme cases cause the face to move out of shape.

These cranial misalignments can interfere with the cerebrospinal fluid moving naturally around the brain. This can compromise the natural function of the brain. Some of the common symptoms can be cognitive, learning difficulties, or headaches.

• Those who suffered head trauma at birth due to forceps, or suction

• People who have had trauma to the head due to childhood falls

• Rugby players, hockey players and other athletes who suffer blows to the head

• Anyone suffering from post- concussion syndrome

Cranial adjustments, and chiropractic care in general are very safe for children. They are gentle and most people find them relaxing.
