Craniosacral Therapy is the name used for specialized kinds of treatment utilizing the hands and/or feet for therapeutic purposes. Craniosacral Therapy is a process where soft tissue manipulation is done on specific regions on the cranium with a tiny headgear and fine elastic wires. The primary goal of craniosacral treatment is to help to restore function and recovery of mobility in those with craniofacial impairments. There are many causes of facial injuries and impairments, from arthritis to cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis (MS). Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for most patients suffering from either or both these conditions.
In my time as a Facial Plastic Surgeon, I have treated patients with various degrees of facial injuries ranging from fractures to traumatic amputations, and several other injuries affecting the soft tissues. Some of these injuries are readily apparent, whereas others aren't so easy to describe or decide on the first visit. To be honest, over the years I have seen more than one case where the patient presented with a craniosacral therapy-related injury. I have also seen many individuals who were initially treated successfully with other therapies, but because of their discomfort, pain or inability to operate, were referred back to the cranial specialist.
Facial injury is one of the most common reasons for referral to a specialist, and for good reason. The principal objective of cranial therapy is to reduce or eliminate pain, improve range of motion, restore facial nerve function and eliminate or reduce the presence of deformities, 일산출장마사지 tumors or serious scarring. While the benefits of the type of therapy are generally beyond compare, some patients may experience numbness, tingling, a fluttering feeling, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing or moving the eyes. These side effects might actually worsen and become much worse if a person does not receive the perfect amount of stimulation and education.
The issue with craniosacral therapists quackery is that they are offering quack treatments that simply don't work. In fact, those quacks play on people's fear of the unknown. The first step in treating any ailment is education. Unfortunately, these"colleges" are teaching patients about nothing. Nobody is even really sure what the cause of the condition is.
I've been told by numerous people that they should feel free to consult a standard medical doctor about any aches, pains or symptoms they have. I personally would stay away from this, since it is only a matter of time until we find out everything about the human body. At exactly the exact same time, there are those who would benefit from a cranial manual therapy such as craniosacral therapy. I personally would prefer a manual therapy to any other sort.
Craniosacral therapy can also be done without a head piece or craniosacral vest. It only requires using two simple pieces of equipment. One is a clear plastic visor that sits on top of the helmet and the other is a glue skullcap. You place your head to the visor and fix it up and down to suit your head size. Then you set the skullcap back and do the exact same to the other side. This is a safe way to do craniosacral therapy without any danger of injury or infection to the skin.
Before deciding to have any craniosacral therapy done, you should be sure that you do your research. There are lots of different types of techniques and philosophies out there. Some of them do not work in any way, while others could be beneficial. Craniosacral therapists should always discuss all available options with their patients before proceeding. Discussing all the merits of each treatment method might help you make an informed decision.
No matter what method of craniosacral therapy you choose, you will definitely feel better after your first session. I personally benefited from both methods, so don't feel like you're alone. You may experience numbness in the feet or hands, but these feelings will be gone in a few days. You may experience pain or stiffness in some areas, but these too will also be gone in a couple of days. As long as you comply with the recommended treatments, you will surely feel better after your next craniosacral therapy session therapist treatments.
