Craniosacral technique is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on the natural rhythm and movement of the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By using light touch, a chiropractor can help release restrictions in the craniosacral system, supporting proper nervous system function and overall balance in the body. This technique is often used to reduce tension, ease stress, and promote deep relaxation, and it may benefit patients experiencing headaches, neck and back discomfort, chronic pain, or anxiety-related conditions.
