The
bones of the skull are called cranial bones. When you are
a child they are soft. In fact you have probably heard of
the soft spots on the head of infants. They are called fontanelles. It's
where the bones haven't grown together yet.
The
bones of the skull come together like gears amd they actually
move. They expand and contract when you breathe. This
helps pump the spinal fluid around the spinal cord. In
fact the lining of the skull also covers the spinal cord. 
Misalignments
of the cranial bones can put tension on the lining that is attached
to it. Yes our charlotte
chiropractic office does adjust
cranial bones using pressure instead of a thrust because they
are designed differently. So
no, there is no popping sound.
Some
of the symptoms are weakness in neck muscles, headaches, head
pain, problems with cranial nerves (such as facial muscle changes),
head tilt to one side (changes in posture), problems with equilibrium
and problems with muscles throughout the body.
Skull problems and head pain can be the result of auto accidents
or head trauma from traumatic brain injuries. Often a person
may hit their head on an object from a fall or into a windshield
or dashboard during a car accident.
