Cranial Work

Head First: Why Cranial Work Matters More Than You Think

Did you know that 75–80% of your nervous system lives above your neck? That’s a whole lot of brainpower — literally. And if we’re going to keep your body functioning at its best, your head deserves more than just a nod. It needs regular check-ins.

Cranial work has been around in the U.S. since the 1800s, but it’s finally getting the attention it deserves — and for good reason. This isn’t your typical chiropractic “crack-pop-go” session. Cranial adjusting is gentle, specific, and incredibly powerful. Using light pressure on areas of the head and face, we assess neurologic function, body patterns, and facial symmetry — all clues that tell us what’s really going on inside.

Here’s where it gets extra cool: Dr. Bench isn’t just any neurologic pediatric chiropractor — he’s a certified craniopath too, with over seven years of post-doctorate training in cranial work on top of his chiropractic degree. That’s deep, next-level expertise in how the brain and skull interact with the entire body.

Using tools like our Insight® scanner, we get a clear view of how the cranial bones are moving (or not moving) — and how that might be affecting your spine, organs, hormones, vision, and more. Each cranial bone has its own motion and function, and if something’s off, your whole system can feel it.

From sleep issues and gut trouble to chronic headaches and even vision problems, we’ve seen powerful changes just by working with the bones of the head and face. Eye muscles, for example, attach directly to these bones — and if they’re out of place, your eyes won’t track or focus correctly. Hormones? Most of your hormone control centers are tucked safely inside that cranial vault.

Dr. Bench’s approach is gentle but backed by serious neurology.Using neuro-muscular testing and other techniques, he pinpoints what your body needs — and when — to make lasting change using consistency over time.

Cranial work is one of the most advanced, effective tools we use, and the results speak for themselves: better sleep, better focus, fewer headaches, balanced hormones, and improved overall function.
