The objective of condylar decompression, also called jugular decompression and occipital release, is to balance the reciprocal tension membrane at the hypoglossal canal thus normalizing function of cranial nerve XII ( hypoglossal nerve) function. [1]
The procedure is indicated by poor suckling reflex of an infant attributed to somatic dysfunction of the occiput on CNXII. The procedure consists of applying a gentle force to release the tissues. [2] [3] [4]
