Cranial Manipulations
A modified form of cranial bone manipulations may assist with your recovery in addition to your spinal complaints with symptoms including:
- sinus pressure
- jaw pain
- headaches
- vertigo
- tinnitus
- dizziness
Within the chiropractic scope, and specifically with Dr. Kyle's CCEP extremity certification, cranial bone manipulation can be a game-changer for many suffering with chronic migraine, headache, and sinus problems.
Our skull is made up of 22 different bones. These bones essentially fit together like a 3-d puzzle, and if they shift (very subtely), they can add up to create one giant shift that becomes a mechanical irritant for the sinuses and other structures including nerves, ear canals, and the palate (top of the mouth). This can also be a potential source for some people who experience other symptoms including vertigo and dizziness.
Our doctors apply gentle pressure to these specific bones in a specific order to help restore alignment and take pressure off the irritated structures. This particular technique is unique to the clinic and to the Kennewick area in general.
