A Kaminski-type evaluation of cranial adjusting

Pederick FOChiropractic TechniqueFeb 1997;9(1): 1-15

Abstract: Models for the evaluation of chiropractic methods have been proposed in the past. This paper uses one model as a framework for the evaluation of cranial adjusting. Chiropractors and osteopaths have been involved in the cranial field for almost 70 yr. Over this time, a body of literature has been amassed on clinical experience and research. This article defines and describes one type of cranial adjusting technique and develops a hypothetical model of effects influencing cranial motion. It also discusses measurable observation, particularly in relation to cranial bone motion, and reviews the available literature about experimentation and testing of the technique. Although further experimentation and clinical trials are needed, the type of cranial adjusting technique described has a sound a scientific basis as mainstream chiropractic techniques and should receive provisional acceptance within the chiropractic and other professions as an integral part of the chiropractic armamentarium.
