Natural Pain Relief with Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy works with the body’s innate wisdom to give long lasting relief to many conditions, without the use of medications or surgery, hence I call it natural pain relief. It helped me so much to alleviate my whiplash injury, that I’ve devoted my massage therapy career to it. The central nervous system is the master system, and if it becomes frazzled, pain and dysfunction can result all throughout the body due to trauma, accidents, injuries, surgeries, and so on.. .If the nervous system is brought back into balance, then the whole body and its systems are affected in a positive way to create vitality, less pain, and resistence to disease. Gentle enough for a newborn to an elder. Try something new, give Craniosacral Therapy a chance to heal your chronic pain and stress!

Sciatica and CranioSacral Therapy

Sciatica is a set of symptoms ; such as pain, irritation, numbness, tingling and difficulty moving caused by compression of either the lumbar nerves ( L4-L5), the sacral nerves (S1-3), or the left and/or right sciatic nerve(s). The pain is felt in the lower back, buttocks, hips, thighs, legs and feet. CranioSacral Therapy is ideal for Sciatica because this light touch manual therapy releases the pain that sciatica causes in a non-invasive way. With the patient fully clothed lying on a massage table, gentle pressure (the weight of a nickel) is applied to the affected areas. The Central nervous system receives this information via the spinal or sciatic nerves being touched, and relaxes the neural pathways; easing compression , irritation and pain. This easing of pain results creates ease and optimum well-being in daily life activities. Normal function is restored. CranioSacral Therapy allows the body to self-correct its restrictions and bring it back to balance.

CranioSacral Therapy and Fractured Sacrums

I worked on a client, Rick, with a fractured sacrum after a fall down a flight of stairs. He came in the office with his cane and was leaning towards the left, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa! He is on pain medication , and has been seeing me weekly for the past month. This session was a breakthrough, as the ‘Leaning Tower of Rick’, became upright and vertical without pain. An incredible difference, and he managed to walk out of the office without using his cane. The body’s ability to self-correct and heal itself is one of the joys of this gentle , non-invasive therapy.

TMJ- Why Suffer? A Solution is at Hand

TNJ is all too common these days. The temporomandibular joints get compressed and immobile due to tight temporalis muscles (the muscles that cover the temporal bones in the skull). The mandibles get locked, unable to move. This chronic tension is a result of emotional stress, teeth grinding, and the misalignment of the temporomandibular joints themselves. By using gentle pressure, a CranioSacral therapist decompresses the temporomandibular joints, and stretches the temporalis muscles. Greater range of motion of the mandibles, softening of the temporalis muscles, and emotional release can occur with treatment. The suffering can cease, and life is good again. CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, effective solution to the treatment of TMJ. In a few sessions ( depending on the severity of pain) the pain and discomfort can cease and full function can be restored.

Migraines got you down?

I’m getting excellent results with CranioSacral Therapy.

Paula ( name changed) has been coming to me for the past two months and reports a dramatic change in her life since she started this process. From not being able to get out of bed from the debilitating pain to now working a full time job has been a success story for her.

CranioSacral Therapy is a non invasive method that helps the body free itself of its restrictions, allowing it to self-correct.

The restrictions could be anywhere on the body, causing snags in the connective tissue, very much like a run in stocking that pulls in every direction.

A migraine may have its origins in muscular tension in the low back for example.

A restriction can cause muscle tissue , organs, and even bones into misalignment and tightness. The body compensates for this for this tension and discomfort for awhile, before it runs out of steam to work around it. Pain, inflammation and/or dis-ease is the result.

To get pain relief means to bring back the tissues into harmony, along with increased circulation and range of motion.

The body’s innate intelligence knows what to do to self-correct , we are co-facillitators who give it a nudge in the direction of pain free ease.
