Charlotte Weaver, D.O.

Very little was known about Dr. Charlotte Weaver, D.O.  She graduated The American School of Osteopathy in 1912 and she developed her own unique theories about what would later be termed “Osteopathy in the Cranial Field.”  She viewed the cranium as an extension of spinal segments and theorized that the cranium was composed of 3 specialized vertebrae.  Dr. Weaver pioneered the idea that cranial motion was a stimulating/regulating factor for the pituitary or “master” gland.
