Try cray-knee-o---what? I’m sorry, but how do you pronounce that; and what does that mean? And more importantly, it can help with my headaches?! When the bones of the head, spine, and tailbone and the fluid in which they’re nourished, cerebrospinal fluid, are positioned or moving improperly, soft tissue restrictions around the central nervous system may exist, and body pain and dysfunction may be created. Craniosacral therapy is a gentle and relaxing hands-on treatment that assesses cranial bone and fluid mobility and then uses the body's innate biology to ultimately restore balance to the bones and circulation of fluid. It can have subtle, yet profound effects on the body and mind, including alleviating or eliminating headaches. Manual Osteopathy identifies, assesses, and treats the body’s structures and rhythm using a gentle, hands-on approach. Manual Osteopaths are trained to find and treat the root cause of dysfunction and not just chase the symptoms. It is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment that focuses on treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes joints, muscles, bones, internal organs and fluids of the body. This type of treatment uses a whole body approach to health care. The first appointment starts with an assessment of posture, movement, pain, range of motion, and medical history. There are no details that are unimportant. Even our diet can give clues and insights into our pain because our body is all connected and each system affects the body as a whole. The goal of the osteopathic practitioner is to balance all the systems of the body to provide overall good health and wellbeing. This balance is achieved with only the use of their hands. Manual Osteopaths believe that there is no tool as sensitive as human touch, so no other machines or tools will be used during your treatment. |
