ROTATIONAL
Temporal Bulge Parietal Descent Internal Frontal External Frontal Interosseous
Universal Cranial Fault related problem
Related Problem: Chronic upper cervical problem, closed ICV, scoliosis, neurological disorganization.
Universal Cranial Fault detection and TL
A muscle becomes inhibited upon single nasal (either the
right or left) inspiration, but not to both.
Therapy localize with two hands to the squamous portion of the occiput:
Universal fault challenge and correction
Challenge to torque the occiput and the mastoids clockwise, then counterclockwise.
Correct with 2 - 3 lbs. of pressure for 5 respirations in the opposite direction of the positive challenge.
Internal Frontal Fault
Related Problem:
Chronic neck flexor inhibition, pain behind the eye, history of head trauma.
Internal Frontal Fault detection and TL
Detection : Smaller orbit on side of lesion. Palpable tenderness at the supraorbital notch
Therapy localization: none
Internal Frontal Fault
Challenge: Push on the Maxilla towards the nasal area.
1. Apply gentle pressure in a superior, lateral vector to the posteriolateral aspect of hard palate.
2. Traction ipsilateral pterygoid process inferiorly.
3. Apply gentle superior pressure to the contralateral pterygoid process .
Correct in the above 3 vectors with 2 - 3 lbs. of pressure for 10 - 20 seconds.
External Frontal Fault
Related Problem:
Chronic neck flexor inhibition, pain behind the eye.
External Frontal Fault
Larger orbit on side of lesion. Palpable tenderness at the contralateral supraciliary notch
TL: none
External Frontal Fault
Challenge: Apply gentle inferior pressure to the central incisors unilaterally = external frontal.
1. On the contralateral side of the incisor, apply gentle pressure in a superior, lateral vector to the posteriolateral aspect of hard palate.
2. Apply gentle superior pressure to the ipsilateral pterygoid process .
Correct in the above 2 vectors with 2 - 3 lbs. of pressure for 10 - 20 seconds.
Nasophenoid fault
related problem
Symptoms of pituitary dysfunction
Nasosphenoid Fault detection and TL
Detection : tenderness of squamosal suture, not due to parietal descent or squamosal suture fault
Nasophenoid Fault challenge and correction
Challenge: Apply gentle pressure to the nasal bone near the medial orbit in a linear direction towards the contralateral sphenoid wing.
Correct in the above vector with 2 - 3 lbs. of pressure for 10 respiratory cycles.
Usually performed with a sphenobasilar correction
Cruciate Suture
Related Problem:
Related Problem: Migraine headache complaints. Associated with sphenobasilar faults.
Cruciate Suture detection and TL
Detection : suboccipital tenderness
TL none
Cruciate Suture challenge and correction
Challenge: Apply gentle pressure to separate or approximate the suture along the entire line of the suture. Note phase of respiration that negates the challenge.
Correct in the above vector with 2 - 3 lbs. of pressure for 5 respiratory cycles on phase that negated challenge.
Check for a sphenobasilar lesion
Sagittal Suture
Related Problem:
Related Problem: Pain on top of head. Symptoms of hernia or general visceral ptosis. LBP, facet imbrication.
Sagittal Suture detection and TL
Detection : Inhibition of rectus abdominal
Therapy localize to the entire suture.
Sagittal Suture Challenge and correction
Challenge: Apply gentle pressure to separate or approximate the suture along the entire line of the suture. This is not a rebound challenge. Therefore, if jamming causes an inhibition, the correction is to separate on the respiratory phase that negates the challenge.
Correct in the opposite direction of the above vector with 2 - 3 lbs. of pressure for 5 respiratory cycles, on phase that negated challenge.
Check for a sphenobasilar and cruciate suture lesion
Lambdoidal Suture
Related Problem:
Closed ICV. Complaints of one side being cold, the other feeling warm. Common in whiplash.
Lambdoidal Suture detection and TL
Inhibition of ipsilateral SCM. Pain along suture.
no TL
Lambdoidal Suture Challenge and correction
Challenge: Apply gentle pressure to separate or approximate the suture along the entire line of the suture. This is a rebound challenge. Therefore, if separation causes an inhibition, the correction is to separate.
Correct in the direction of the above vector with 2 - 3 lbs. of pressure for 5 respiratory cycles on the respiratory phase that negates the challenge.
Check for an interosseous cranial lesion
Squamosal Suture
Related Problem:
Pain on side of skull.
Squamosal Suture detection and TL
Detection : Pain along the suture
TL: none
