How to Diagnose Sphenoid Subluxation

According to chiropractors and some other health care providers, the human skull consists of cranial bones that expand and contract anywhere from six to twelve times a minute, independent of the heart's pulse. The excessive expansion and contraction of these cranial bones is believed by many to cause sphenoid subluxation, an ailment that causes vision problems, migraines, grinding of the teeth, and eventually, endocrine problems. Though the mainstream American medical establishment believes that cranial bones are fused, and do not shift, consult a health care professional if you believe you may be suffering from sphenoid subluxation.
