What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy uses a light-touch approach focused on the tissues and structures surrounding the brain, spinal cord and central nervous system.
Unlike a traditional chiropractic adjustment, Craniosacral Therapy typically uses very gentle pressure.
For some patients, it may be incorporated as part of a broader care plan alongside chiropractic care, Functional Medicine or Frequency Specific Microcurrent.
