If you suffer from chronic headaches or migraines, you're not alone—many South Orange County residents seek solutions beyond standard meds. Craniosacral therapy (CST) offers a gentle, holistic approach that’s gaining attention for its effectiveness.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
A light-touch manual therapy focusing on the craniosacral system—the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain/spinal cord.
Helps reduce tension, improve nervous system health, and encourage natural healing.
How CST Targets Headaches & Migraines
Releases fascial tension: Eases tight tissue in the neck, jaw (TMJ), and skull that contribute to headaches.
Balances the nervous system: Encourages the parasympathetic (“rest and heal”) response, reducing migraine triggers.
Restores cerebral fluid flow: Promotes better circulation and natural detox in the central nervous system.
