Craniopathy is the method of performing specific chiropractic adjustments to the skull bones. Adjustments to the skull, like the spine, helps to improve the function and health of the central nervous system: aberrant pressure and stimulation to the nervous system is reduced and the circulation of blood and cerebrospinal fluid is improved. Craniopathy is a part of the Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) and is practiced by chiropractors who are trained in SOT.
In addition to helping the overall function of the central nervous system, craniopathy can be helpful in managing headache, neck pain, TMJ issue, sinus problems, lower back pain and dizziness.
