Cranio-Sacral Therapy

[IAHeel]

My wife had translab surgery at House in January. They are really terrific and she has had a wonderful outcome, except for headaches. She had pressure headaches from the beginning and three weeks after surgery, she started having more painful tension or muscle-contraction headaches. She tried Tylenol with codeine, Celebrex and over the counter remedies. She had some relief from a very low dosage of Elavil, an anti-depressant which helps alleviate the more severe headaches, but the pressure headaches remained.

But, she is realizing a lot of relief now from cranio-sacral therapy. She is going to a PT, who has been trained in this technique. Some docs will be skeptical of this alternative treatment, but it is working for her.

Hi Fred,

Craniosacral therapy is wonderful and I'm so glad your wife is receiving this kind of alternative help.  Thought Doctors are very skilled, they don't know about everything.  I hope everything continues to go well for her.

I have had 2 1/2 months of cranial sacral therapy and it has really healped my sinus and headache pressure. I think has helped with my tone as well. Anything is worth a shot.  Carol

Is Cranio-Sacral Therapy the same or similar to Bio Cranial ?  I've been getting bio cranial treatments for several months and have had wonderful and surprising results.
