How Does Cranial Treatment Help Head Trauma Injuries ?

Cranial manipulation and treatment has been used for thousands of years to treat numerous ailments. There are 22 bones that make up the skull (Cranium). Manual treatment has a direct affect on the circulation around the brain and influences the function of the nervous system. Everything from Headaches, TMJ, sinus challenges and a multitude of neurological problems have benefitted from cranial work.

Your skull is made up sutures, like zippers to your brain. As these sutures ossify, or harden, it negatively affects your brain circulation. On an MRI Cranial treatments show how specific areas of the nervous system as well as the circulation of the brain are affected. With cranial work, you can actually influence your blood supply to your brain. If you've ever had a brain trauma or concussive force to the head, you may need cranial work or at least an examination. Cranial manipulation has been shown to affect your overall brain health which affects the health of your entire body.

Better Brain Tip:

1)    If you have every had a brain injury or concussive trauma see a cranial specialist to evaluate the skull and nervous system.


2)    A Spect scan or functional MRI evaluation should be done sooner rather than later after a trauma to evaluate brain injury and function.
