This alternative treatment in chiropractic care was developed in the 1970s by an osteopathic physician named Dr. John Ledger. During a routine neck surgery, he noticed the rhythmic movements of the craniosacral system, leading him to discover a new and effective treatment option for many patients facing chronic pain, injury, and chronic symptoms. Today, Rising Family Chiropractic can help you further understand how this type of quality care might help you and your family reach their health and wellness goals through pain management.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral chiropractic treatment is a series of advanced treatment techniques that use the gentle pressure of touch and hand movement to create a deep tissue massage and examine fluid movement and cell membranes connected to the central nervous system. The body system as a whole is covered by tissues called “fascia” that create an interconnected network. This chiropractic treatment uses gentle pressure that promotes myofascial release, a varying degree of tension relief, and efficient function for these connective tissues. Due to its non-invasive healing power, this comprehensive treatment plan provides inclusion for people of all ages from infants to the elderly. Some conditions for people that improve with this alternative treatment in chiropractic care include clients with pain, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, multiple sclerosis, stroke symptoms, epilepsy, healing after injury, and neurodegenerative diseases.

During an individual therapy session in our West Fargo office, our team will begin by working with you to create a custom care plan that’s right for you. As body tissue issues and pain areas are identified, the chiropractic treatment professional will use gentle pressure on your body (using roughly 5 grams of force, or about as much as a nickel weighs). They’ll feel and move the deep tissue massage or gentle pressure movements with your body’s natural rhythms to realign your cerebrospinal fluid. As excess pressure is released, you’ll most likely feel deeply relaxed (and might even fall asleep!), and may also have a “pins and needles” sensation through your entire body.

Babies

From an early age, we can benefit from the advanced treatment techniques used in advanced craniosacral therapy. During birth, infants undergo incredible amounts of pressure. This can lead to misalignment in the body, pinched nerves, pulled muscles, or even injury. After an initial assessment, a gentle therapy, like advanced craniosacral therapy, can provide a safe and effective way to release pressure and promote healthy growth, and aid mothers in reaching their breastfeeding goals. 

Craniosacral Therapy Can Treat:

• Tongue-Tie babies recovery
• Breast Feeding Issues
• Misalignment in the body after birth
• Colic 

Adults

A person in West Fargo can begin to experience generalized pain due to a range of factors. Whether it’s the strain of sitting at a work desk or an injury, craniosacral therapy provides an alternative treatment to more invasive or expensive medical options. While an alternative treatment, advanced craniosacral therapy can be just as effective as many medical options and can be used long-term with little to no side effects. This gentle technique can also be a great complementary treatment to other quality care.

Craniosacral Therapy Can Treat:

• Neck and Back Pain
• Injury recovery
• Chronic headaches
• Muscle tension
• Fibromyalgia 
• Multiple Sclerosis 

Side Effects

The reason craniosacral therapy in chiropractic care is such a great option for many in the West Fargo area is its lack of risk for any patient, infant to adult. The gentle pressure used in advanced craniosacral therapy provides a non-invasive treatment and innovative care option to many issues adults and children face. With craniosacral massage therapy, there’s no surgery, hours needed to be spent at a physical therapist’s office, or high costs. After a couple of treatments, many West Fargo patients saw improvement in their pain and progress towards their common goal in health. 

While the main side effect West Fargo patients reported was mild discomfort or soreness following treatment, some adults shouldn’t receive this innovative care. Those with severe bleeding disorders who have been previously diagnosed with an aneurysm, or those with a history of recent head trauma that causes bleeding should not try this treatment option.
