and a chiropractic craniopathy indicates that with a good working

achieved. The aetiology of a problem can be defined and diagnosed early
so that the correct treatment can be applied. A descending major stress
area is a primary dental problem requiring a chiropractic backup to

area is a primary chiropractic problem requiring dental backup to
ensure that premature contacts of teeth, loss of dentition, and incisor
interference can be monitored and corrected while the sacroiliac lesion
is stabilized.
