Cranial Chiropractic

Cranial work therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on the subtle movements of the cranial bones, spinal column, and cerebrospinal fluid to promote overall health and nervous system function. Based on the principles of craniosacral therapy (CST), this approach recognizes that the skull is not a rigid structure but consists of bones that move in response to the rhythmic flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Practitioners use light touch to assess and correct restrictions in the craniosacral system, aiming to relieve tension, enhance circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Cranial work therapy is commonly used to treat a variety of conditions, including migraines, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, post-concussion symptoms, chronic pain, and stress-related disorders. It is often sought after by individuals with neurological imbalances, head trauma, or developmental issues such as those seen in children with learning disabilities or autism spectrum disorders. While some mainstream medical professionals remain skeptical of cranial work due to its subtle nature, many patients and holistic practitioners report significant improvements in pain relief, relaxation, and overall well-being. Whether used as a standalone therapy or in combination with chiropractic care, osteopathy, or massage, cranial work therapy offers a non-invasive, calming, and effective approach to supporting the body’s self-regulation and healing abilities.
