Blum, CL, "Cranial Therapeutic Approach to Cranial Nerve Entrapment Part I:
Cranial Nerves III, IV, and VI," ACA Journal of Chiropractic, July 1988;
22(7): 63-7.
Presented is a cranial therapeutic approach to understanding , the diagnosis,
the anatomical pathways, and strategies for cranial manipulative treatment of
cranial nerves III, IV, and VI disturbances and/or entrapment. An overview
of diagnosing dysfunction of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI also discusses
the parasympathetic influences associated with the Edinger-Westphal Nucleus.
Pathways of the nerves are followed from their nuclei to their intra and
extra cranial pathways. Possible cranial manipulative solutions to
dysfunction of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI are offered with emphasis on
cranial base, falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli.
