Relationship between CSF and fluid dynamics in the neural canal.

Flanagan MF.

There is a relationship between fluid dynamics in the neural canal and cranial vault. This relationship can be affected by posture, respiration and pathology. In addition, several chiropractic disciplines have advocated that axial skeletal improprieties may also affect fluid dynamics in the canal and vault. This paper reviews literature pertinent to these issues. The information it contains is relevant to those disciplines that attempt to manipulate fluid dynamics in the canal and vault, as well as to those that treat neurological disorders.
