Craniosacral therapy is very gentle. Nothing like chiropractic. Much gentler

even than massage. The practitioner I worked with used to say he used no more

pressure than the weight of a nickel. But it is a powerful therapy.

craniosacral therapy

 

Greetings to the Group. We just got a new doctor in our small town,

an MD, who also does Chinese medicine, acupuncture, other natural

medicine and craniosacral therapy. For our area this is great news.

We have to travel a long way to our homeopath. I use only alternative

medicine. I would like to know more about this therapy. My body is

very sensitive to any manipulations and all have to be very gentle. I

can not tolerate chiropratic manipulations. My homeopathic doctor said

I have scoliosis and this is causing me other problems. I am on a high

potency remedy at the present time and I am wondering if this therapy

is gentle enough not to interfere with the (energy) of 1 LM remedy.

I will ask my homeopath, but I am interested in any ideas or

experiences from the group with cranialsacral therapy. Also, I would

like to put in a good word for homeopathy. I have used homeopathic

medicine for about 15 years and it has kept me going through several

chronic health problems. I have high praise for it. My homeopath says

I will need more for the spine problem though. I also can not tolerate

acupuncture and I am uncomfortable and feel a feeling like " electric "

in each needle. Is there an explanation for this? Thank you, Sage

I've never had Craniosacral therapy and have never really know

anyone who has experienced it either, but I know alot of therapies

will warn you that things get worse before they get better. It's as

if the body has to push everything to the surface to get it out.

Maybe what they were experiencing was the surfacing of their

problems and some more work may have shown improvement. THIS IS JUST

AN OPINION. :)

I also agree with Linda. I'm a CranioSacral Therapy practitioner,

and I've had good results with people who can't tolerate more

aggressive forms of treatment. The light touch engages the

tissues " under the radar " so that their resistence doesn't kick in.

That's how such a light touch can be so powerful. Sage, I'd

definitely recommend trying CranioSacral Therapy. I'd also ask your

new MD how much he/she does CranioSacral Therapy and how much

training he/she has. Although very gentle, it does take practice and

experience to perform a good treatment. You can also look up

Upledger trained practitioners and all the courses each person has

taken at www.upledger.com. You'd be surprised how many people are

out there, even in small towns. There are also other schools of CST,

but I don't know how to find out about those students.

 

I haven't heard about CST interfering with homeopathics, but it can

cause a shift in your energy, so I'd recommend staying in touch with

the homeopath throughout the process.

Sage,

I have a few types of VERY GENTLE chiropractic methods that can be used

on infants

that you might consider.

1-Network spinal analysis might be right up your ally (no forceful movements.)

It works on

principles of correcting the Dura (covering membrane of the brain and spinal

systems) and

feels great to have done.

2-Sacro Occipital Technique, which is what I practice, is a system of

Chiropractic that is

cranial work at a doctors level (Cranial sacral is designed for non-doctors)

combined with

adjustments to the spine that are great for children and elderly people (Wedges,

Motion and

reflex adjusting w/o the 'pop')

Cranial sacral is great stuff, I also want you to have access and knowledge

about as

many options as you can have. Also, sometimes cranial sacral work is helped by

having the

spine unbound by a chiropractor (and vice verse.)

 

Regards,

 

 

Dr. Evan
