Craniosacral Therapy at Groton Wellness Dental Spa & Medical Center in Groton MA

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy was originally part of the Osteopathic healing methodology, but became a separate modality over time. Highly trained therapists develop a heightened sense of touch and can feel the pulsations of the head and spinal cord, the structure of the cranium, and the orientation of the bones of the spinal column. This is a hands on, touch based, non-invasive process that helps regulate the tempo of the body, align the bony structures, and help the body correct any organ based imbalances.

Commonly Asked Questions about Craniosacral Therapy:

How does this work?

As you may know, the spinal cord and brain are part of a continuous system with nourishing fluid that surrounds these delicate and important tissues. Through hands on holding and manipulation of the cervical spine and cranium, trained therapists are able to help regulate the body’s cerebrospinal fluid rhythm and to correct small misalignments that may be causing a disturbance in the communication of the spinal/humoral system.

Is it safe? Is it effective?

CS Therapy is very safe. Clients who receive CS therapy come back many times as they feel definite improvement in their specific problems and general wellbeing.

What to expect?

You will lie on your back on a massage type table while the therapist places his/her hands under the back of your head and neck. He/she may move hands to gently cradle your neck from behind, shifting positions from time to time.

Is it covered by insurance? How much does it cost?

Craniosacral therapy may qualify as a type of medical treatment depending on your insurance policy. Reimbursement would vary in cost depending upon the person’s condition (CPT codes) and insurance company. Please contact us for more information.
