Craniosacral Therapy

at Mindful Living

At Mindful Living Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we offer Craniosacral Therapy (CST), a gentle hands-on technique designed to support the nervous system and relieve deep-seated tension. CST focuses on the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By releasing restrictions in these areas, CST promotes relaxation, pain relief, and improved nervous system function.

Our team applies light, precise pressure to help your body release tension, restore balance, and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Craniosacral Therapy?

    CST uses gentle touch to release tension in the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This non-invasive technique works to:
    - Reduce pain caused by restrictions in the craniosacral system.
    - Relieve chronic stress and promote relaxation.
    - Improve nervous system function and communication.
    - Support recovery from trauma and injury.

    CST encourages your body to tap into its natural healing abilities, making it an excellent option for a wide range of conditions.

  • Craniosacral therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including headaches, neck and back pain, TMJ disorder, fibromyalgia, and more. It can also be used to help manage symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, and depression.

  • Craniosacral therapy works by using gentle touch to manipulate the bones of the skull, spine, and pelvis. This is believed to help release tension and promote the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which can improve overall health and well-being.

    During your CST session at Mindful Living Chiropractic and Acupuncture:

    1. You will lie comfortably, fully clothed, in a quiet setting.
    2. Our therapist will use light touch to assess and release restrictions in the craniosacral system.

    4. As tension releases, you may experience deep relaxation or subtle shifts in your body.
    5. Sessions are typically quiet and meditative, allowing your nervous system to reset.

    CST is designed to be soothing and restorative, helping your body return to a state of balance.
