Cranial Care

In chiropractic care, assessing and addressing cranial distortions is an essential aspect of holistic treatment. The cranium, or skull, houses the brain and protects it from external damage. However, like any other part of the body, the cranial bones can experience tension, misalignments, or restrictions, which may lead to discomfort, headaches, congestion and other various symptoms.

Chiropractors trained in cranial techniques use their hands to carefully examine the skull for any signs of asymmetry, restrictions, or imbalances. They may also observe the movement patterns of the cranial bones, feeling for areas of tightness or decreased mobility. By conducting a thorough assessment, chiropractors can identify areas of concern and develop a targeted treatment plan to address cranial distortions.

Gently releasing tension in the cranial bones involves a variety of manual techniques designed to ease tension, improve nerve, blood and CSF flow.   

Cranial Manipulation: Chiropractors use gentle pressure and subtle movements to encourage the cranial bones to move out of restriction. This hands-on approach helps to release tension and improve circulation to the tissues surrounding the skull.

Overall, gently releasing tension in the cranial bones is an important aspect of chiropractic care aimed at restoring balance and promoting optimal function throughout the body. By addressing cranial distortions and promoting cranial mobility, chiropractors can help alleviate discomfort, improve overall well-being, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
