Dr. William Sutherland, the father of cranial osteopathy explored the concept that the bones of the skull were structured for movement. However, it was Dr. John E. Upledger who scientifically confirmed the existence of cranial bone motion. From 1975 to 1983, he served as clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics at Michigan State University, where he supervised a team of anatomists, physiologists, biophysicists and bioengineers in research and testing. The results not only confirmed Sutherland's theory, but led to clarification of the mechanisms behind this motion - the craniosacral system. Dr. Upledger's continued work in the field ultimately resulted in his development of Craniosacral Therapy.
Craniosacral Therapy relies on the patient's self-correcting mechanisms which are due to genetically old, environmental resistant behavior, which is activated by normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord. Craniosacral Therapy is able to alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions.
The craniosacral system is a .physiological system that exists in humans and all animals that have a brain and spinal cord. In essence it is a semi-closed hydraulic system within which fluid pressure and volume rise and fall throughout life. "Craniosacral Therapy improves brain and spinal cord function and restores autonomic nervous system flexibility, adaptability and balance". This can be demonstrated with multiscale entropy (MSE) analysis of heart rate and blood pressure which provides a sensitive tool to detect changes in autonomic balance.1
We postulate; Homeoblock(tm) treatment provides enhanced cranial symmetry along with sutural homeostasis which helps to balance the cranial system and can provide autonomic system enhancement and reduce stress. We are currently in the process of demonstrating this clinically. 2

CASE STUDY: ENHANCED FACIAL SYMMETRY

PATIENT BEFORE TREATMENT

THE PATIENTS RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE CHIMERA

PATIENT AFTER TREATMENT

RED SHOWS UNILATERAL LEFT SIDE BONE CHANGES FOR ENHANCED FACIAL SYMMETRY

BEFORE AND AFTER 24 MONTHS TREATMENT
ENHANCED SYMMETRY IMPLIES IMPROVED FUNCTION

LEFT SIDE DEVELOPMENT SHOWS IMPROVED LEFT EXTERNAL NASAL VALVE

CONCLUSION

Facial asymmetry can be due to a unilateral lack of development and linked to unexpressed genes for development. This presentation demonstrates the body's ability to self-correct using dentofacial orthopedics and the Homeoblock(tm) appliance. The unilateral results in the bone that we see using Analyze 10.0 developed by the Mayo Clinic can only be attributed to gene expression. The enhanced facial symmetry is consistent with sutural homeostasis and improved craniosacral function. Improved craniofacial function includes improved autonomic nervous system flexibility, adaptability and balance. Improved autonomic nervous system may result in better tone for the pharyngeal airway and a more restorative night's sleep.
