Hi! I am Dr. Sean Flaherty from Summer Chiropractic in Puyallup, Washington and I want to talk to you a little bit about cranial adjusting. The cranial bones, there are many plates in your head, the parietal, the occipital, the frontal, ethmoid and these joints move… there are the same exact type of joint as what is in your teeth and they move just that much… you will know your teeth will move sometimes, the plates in your head can move the same way and what I like to do is I use the activator to adjust the different cranial bones. Some people can use their hands and do that as well. Now because it is so important, because those can move just a little bit, it can cause a lot of irritation in your body, put pressure on the brain and alter the way that the brain functions. I have gotten rid of the headaches, I haven't gotten rid of them but doing my adjustment the body is able to heal itself and get rid of headaches, get rid of allergies, and TMJ, and lots of other things. It is great for kids who have ADD. I will come in here, I will put this just about the lower setting, it can go, and through my analysis I will find certain plates that are out of place and I will come over there lightly, put the activator on my finger and click it to the position that needs to go based on what I found.
