Alternative Therapies and Osteopathy

Massage therapy is a relaxing and stress-reducing therapy that is favored by many. There are many kinds of massage therapy which help to reduce pain and encourage healing. Certain types of massages are not appropriate for every type of injury or condition that could occur. This is a brief description of the various types of massage and their specific purpose.

Craniosacral therapy (also called osteopathy of the cranial region) is an alternative treatment often used by chiropractors osteopaths and massage therapists combination with other medical treatments. It involves applying a soft, smooth touch to the neck, scalp, or bone to treat ailments like headaches. In a cranial-therapy session the masseuse will apply soothing pressure on the neck and head regions using their hands or a tool called the craniomastoid. Some experts believe that applying pressure to these areas could increase the flow, or “hum” of the body’s “bark” or “hum” energy. The “bark” may be the source of pain below the top of the skull.

Another alternative treatment method that is popular is neuromuscular therapy, which can be used as a complement to craniosacral treatments. The nervous system is the one responsible for all aspects of the body’s function according to neuromuscular therapists. They believe that any dysfunction within the nervous system could cause muscle dysfunction which may cause pain, numbness and weakness and anxiety, depression, anxiety, and fatigue. Many neuromuscular therapists employ exercises that are therapeutic to “test” the nerve systems of patients to determine if they are able to treat the specific condition being addressed.

Another technique employed during craniosacral therapy is known as “traction”. This technique is utilized during craniosacral treatment to ease muscle restrictions believed to be responsible for pain. The practitioner uses increasing pressure to a specific muscle during a test of compression. As the pressure is applied, the craniosacral therapist determines how long it takes for the muscle to relax. The therapist relaxes the muscle after it has reacted to pressure. When the pressure on the nerve is released, the muscle relaxes. The patient is less painful.

Patients with a variety chronic illnesses can utilize massage as a kind of therapy. If you have back problems, it is important that you only try this gentle type of bodywork once your physician has approved. Craniosacral treatment is only for healthy people with no health issues. This gentle treatment should not be given to anyone with a fracture muscles spasms, muscle spasms, or herniated discs.

Research has revealed that chronic pain can be caused by a combination of physical as well as psychological factors. Practitioners can aid patients who suffer from chronic pain with the techniques of craniosacral therapy. It involves strengthening affected area and easing tension. The deep tissue manipulation applied during this type of treatment can also increase mobility in areas that have become stiff and restricted.

Massage is a common method to alleviate stress and improve mood. When it comes to alternative treatments, massage is a popular method of healing and better health. A good massage session can reduce blood pressure, improve circulation, oxygenation and improve the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout your body. In a regular massage pressure, rhythm and movements are applied to soft tissues of the body and muscles to promote healing. Massage increases circulation, improves the range of motion, enhances mobility and flexibility, reduces inflammation, strengthens and relaxes muscles and increases flexibility.

According to the American Osteopathic Association craniosacral practitioners are the only health specialists who specialize in non-invasive complementary therapies. They are accredited by the Accreditation Council of Chiropractic Physical Education. Some states even require that certified craniosacral therapists obtain an authorization. It is important to remember that osteopaths are not able to provide therapies for therapeutic purposes and they do not refer patients to other health care providers. To get the right diagnosis and treatment it is important that you consult with an authorized physician prior to receiving any type treatment.
