Blum, CLACA Journal of ChiropracticDec 1990; 27(12): 27-33

Presented is a cranial therapeutic approach to understanding , the diagnosis, the anatomical pathways, and strategies for cranial manipulative treatment of cranial nerve VII disturbances and/or entrapment. In this article the cranial nerve VII is presented as having two components — the facial component and the nervous intermedius component. An overview of diagnosing dysfunction of the facial component and the nervous intermedius component is presented. Pathways of the nerve’s components are followed from their nuclei to their intra and extra cranial pathways. Possible cranial manipulative solutions to dysfunction of cranial nerve VII are offered with emphasis on cranial base, falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli.
