Cranial Chiropractic in Northfield, MN
Cranial chiropractic care is a gentle approach that focuses on how the bones of the skull, spine, and nervous system work together. At Cannon Pointe Chiropractic, both Dr. Jacob Conway and Dr. Bridget Conway provide this service for patients looking for natural, hands-on care.
As a husband-and-wife chiropractic team, Dr. Jake and Dr. Bridget bring a shared commitment to helping patients feel better, move better, and understand their care. Their approach is personal, thoughtful, and focused on finding the source of the problem rather than only treating symptoms.
What Is Cranial Chiropractic Care?
Cranial chiropractic care, also called craniopathic chiropractic, is a gentle technique that focuses on the bones of the skull and how they relate to the nervous system. Many people think the skull is one solid, fixed structure. It is not. The cranial bones have subtle movement, and restrictions in that movement may affect the surrounding tissues, the spine, and the way the nervous system functions.
At Cannon Pointe Chiropractic, Dr. Jacob Conway and Dr. Bridget Conway both provide cranial chiropractic care. As a husband-and-wife chiropractic team, they use precise, low-force techniques to evaluate and correct cranial restrictions. Their goal is to reduce stress on the nervous system and help the body function better.
Because the nervous system connects to every part of the body, cranial restrictions may contribute to symptoms that do not always seem directly related to the head or spine. That is why Dr. Jake and Dr. Bridget look at the body as a connected system, not just a single area of pain.sure. The result is a nervous system that functions the way it is supposed to.
Why Would the Skull Bones Move Out of Position?
Cranial misalignment happens more often than most people realize. Common causes include:
- Birth trauma — a baby's skull contorts significantly during delivery, whether through the birth canal or via C-section. Symptoms may not appear until months or years later.
- Head injuries and concussions
- Car accidents and whiplash
- Dental procedures or jaw trauma
- Accumulated stress on the spine and neck over time
In some cases, symptoms may not show up right away. A restriction can be present for months or years before the body starts signaling that something is wrong. This is why a careful evaluation matters.
Dr. Jake and Dr. Bridget use cranial chiropractic care to look for these patterns, correct restrictions when appropriate, and support better nervous system function through gentle, hands-on care.

Many patients come to Cannon Pointe after dealing with symptoms for months or years. Some have been told there are few options left. Dr. Jake and Dr. Bridget take the time to listen, evaluate the body as a connected system, and determine whether cranial chiropractic care may be appropriate.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Jake and/or Dr. Bridget use their chiropractic training and clinical experience to understand how your body is functioning before treatment begins.
This may include posture checks, range-of-motion testing, applied kinesiology, muscle testing, and a review of your symptoms and health history. The goal is to identify areas of tension, restriction, or imbalance that may be affecting your nervous system.
Treatment is gentle. Cranial adjustments do not involve forceful manipulation. Most patients describe the experience as light, precise pressure applied to specific points on the skull, neck, and surrounding structures.
Depending on your needs, care may also include spinal adjustments, chiropractic reflex technique, or other supportive chiropractic methods. Dr. Bridget may also combine cranial work with acupuncture when appropriate.
The goal is to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms, not simply chase discomfort from one visit to the next.
Results vary from person to person. Some patients notice a change after the first or second visit. Others improve gradually over several weeks. Dr. Jake or Dr. Bridget will give you an honest assessment based on your specific situation.
