Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive manual therapy that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding and protecting the brain and spinal cord. Dr. John Upledger developed CST in the 1970s. It is based on the concept that subtle, rhythmic movements of the craniosacral system can be detected and manipulated to improve health and alleviate pain.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) operates on the principle that the craniosacral system has a rhythmic movement essential for overall health. To assess this rhythm, chiropractors begin a CST session by gently placing their hands on various parts of the patient's body, primarily the head, neck, and spine. Using a light touch, identify areas where the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is hindered and subtle restrictions and imbalances within the craniosacral system.
Once areas of restriction are identified, the chiropractor employs light-touch techniques to release tensions. These techniques may include gentle manipulations of the skull, spine, and pelvis to enhance the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and restore normal function, thereby improving overall health and well-being. This process alleviates physical restrictions and supports the body's natural healing mechanisms. To begin addressing your chronic symptoms, contact us and schedule a consultation.
Loved this place! I was involved in a bad accident as a child never received the appropriate care for my damaged spine. Eventually got worse over the years and got in the way of playing sports my teenage years. I no longer have severe back pains like before. Truly miss this place! My body would feel brand new, cracked like a glow stick *
SBSan Francisco, CaliforniaI came here for severe lower back pain due to a bulged disc. I did a cycle of treatment and now go once a month and the treatment is fantastic. Additionally, I got a massage here and it was one of the best I have ever gotten in my life. True muscular release that I have never had before. *
CGSan Francisco, CaliforniaDaniel cured a tendinitis I had for 15 years, in only a few sessions! I always come to him for anything related to my spine. I've been to a serious car accident, recently. He made my neck and my back recover really well. Currently, he's doing a decompression treatment to take pressure out of my discs, which is making wonders to my neck and lower back. Give him a try. You will be in perfect hands! The whole staff here is really nice, too. *
AGSan Francisco, CaliforniaI feel like I came to the right spot. I have degenerative arthritis and currently have a pinched nerve in my neck and the combination of Dr.So's adjustments and the masseuse Amy's massage technics , I no longer sit in pain all day any more. This is truly a great find. The pricing is affordable and the atmosphere is very professional. I highly recommend them to any one needing chiropractic work. *
DGSan Francisco, CaliforniaLatch and So is an amazing chiropractor office. From the friendliest of receptionists to the comprehensiveness of the providers' assessment and plan of care, I am impressed with the service and appointments I received with this office. I had Dr. Candice So herself and she was friendly and thorough with my care. I had come to her after a car accident and she helped connect me with the right professionals for assistance and she herself did my treatments. Very easy process and many services (including massage therapy!) provided here. Very glad to have come received my first chiropractic treatments from this team. I would highly recommend them to my friends, family, anyone! *
