What Can Craniosacral Therapy Treat?

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.

How Craniosacral Therapy Works

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.
