Craniosacral therapy is a pain management technique focusing on the manipulation of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain. The technique combines alternative healing practices with traditional cranial osteopathy by applying massage to the head and spine with the goal of unblocking points of tension.
Appropriately trained chiropractors and physical therapists can employ craniosacral therapy to treat pain from spine-related dysfunctions, including certain types of neck and back pain, and brain and spinal cord injuries.
Craniosacral therapy is based on the notion that releasing restrictions in the carniosacral system will impove the functioning of the central nervous system.
