We had a doctor in Australia just recently suspended for doing just the same with children as young as 30 days old.
I cannot say that I have any faith in this guys healing capacity.
Heres an extract from:
Some Notes on Cranial Manipulative Therapy by William T. Jarvis, Ph.D.
Viola Frymann, DO, has promoted cranial osteopathy among dentists; and cranial manipulative therapy is now practiced by a small number of fringe dentists who refer to themselves as "holistic" practitioners.
In 1992 and 2000, the Osteopathic Medical Board of California placed Frymann on probation for exdangering the lives of two infants whom she treated with cranial manipulation instead of appropriate medical care [3].
New York chiropractor, Carl A. Ferreri, developed a version of cranial manipulative therapy that he named "Neural Organizational Technique" (NOT), for treating dyslexia, other learning disabilities, bedwetting, nightmares, scoliosis, Down's Syndrome, cerebral palsy, color-blindness, and various other problems.
Despite an absence of scientific evidence, and lack of endorsement by any recognized organization that deals with learning disorders, Ferreri was able to convince the school psychologist, Roy Krause, of the Del Norte school district (Crescent City, Calif) that his method held promise for the learning disabled children of his district. Krause convinced the school board to allow Ferreri to set up a research project in which chiropractors would manipulate children's skulls in an attempt to rid them of their learning difficulties.
Rather than focusing upon a single type of problem, the children included a mix of disorders. The method involved holding the child in a headlock and pressing on the roof of their mouths with the hope a achieving a click. Thumbs were also pressed into the children's eye-sockets.
Children were exposed to such pain that children who had never had seizures, had them now. Children with a history of seizures, were having increased episodes of these. A lawsuit brought against Ferreri by the parents resulted in a $565,000 judgment for damages, plus attorney's fees.

Note this was published on The National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF) website archive. The website ran from 1991-2002. The NCAHF was a private nonprofit, voluntary health agency that focused upon health misinformation, fraud, and quackery as public health problems. Its positions were based upon the principles of science that underlie consumer protection law. The site was not surprisingly criticized by proponents of alternative medicine.
