Craniopathy and Sleep

Craniopathy is a specialized field in chiropractic focusing on the health benefits of micro-motion in the bones of the skull (cranium), its distortions and resulting ill effects? This gentle and exquisitely relaxing technique stimulates micro-motion within the cranial bones, enhancing circulation of the cerebro-spinal fluid (C.S.F.). C.S.F. transports nutrition, removes waste products and provides an ideal and essential medium for nerve signal conduction. Its circulation is absolutely essential to good health. C.S.F. is created in four compartments in the brain and is supplied to the nervous system through the gentle pulsing action created by breathing. This delicate mechanism can be interrupted by falls, accidents, head injuries, viral infections and prolonged mental and emotional stress.

This science has been developed through study, research and clinical application over the last 100 years, by individuals such as Dr. Upledger, Dr. DeJarnette, Dr. Mark Pick and many more pioneers who have contributed to its development.
