For Debate: Cranial Adjusting – An Overview

Pederick FOChiropractic Journal of AustraliaSept 1993; 23(3):106-12

Abstract: Cranial adjusting procedures have been a part of osteopathic and chiropractic therapeutic repertoires for over 60 years. Although the osteopathic literature is extensive, there is no known chiropractic peer reviewed literature on this field. This paper seeks to change this situation and begin the process of examining cranial concepts in the chiropractic peer reviewed literature. Cranial adjusting appears to be soundly based in anatomy, physiology and histological studies as well as clinical results. It may be likened to spinal adjusting in that “scientific” definition and demonstration of the subluxation may at present be beyond our technology. As with spinal adjusting unless there is evidence which absolutely refutes the current literature on cranial adjusting, it could be accepted as a part of mainstream chiropractic, be included in the curriculum of chiropractic schools and become part of the therapeutic repertoire of most chiropractors.
