What can be treated?
The skull is like a jigsaw puzzle of bones with lots of small tunnels that allow nerves and blood vessels to enter or exit. Carefully applying small amounts of pressure to bones of the skull or specific areas of the brain can improve a wide variety of issues like headache, control of face muscles including eyes, sense of smell and taste, concussion, and brain fog.

How will I respond to the treatment?
The head/brain/cranial nerves heal at a slower rate than other parts of your body. We have many ways of treating these issues that can not all be applied in a single session. Within three sessions you will know if your problem responds to something we have tried. Progress typically starts with improvement that has a short duration, and the duration of improvement increases with successive treatments.

How often are appointments?
In the beginning, we recommend intervals of two or three weeks until we determine which types of treatment are most effective.

​​What about Car Accidents?
Car accidents are one of the most common origins for problems in the head. Whether there was whiplash or blunt trauma, the jigsaw puzzle gets compressed so the pieces don't move as well in relation to each other (yes, there are tiny movements that are supposed to occur in all those bones and tunnels). Restoring that movement is often the key to improving your condition.

Are we doing anything besides moving bones?
Sometimes, working with bones is sufficient. Other times, we need to work with deeper structures inside the brain itself. One patient described it as, "If feels like you are giving my brain a hug." That is actually a very accurate description, except that the "hug" is targeting a very specific area inside your head.
