Treatment for
MIGRAINES & HEADACHES

In Missoula, Montana

CranioSacral Therapy can be a helpful adjunct to managing migraines and headaches by improving cerebrospinal fluid circulation, releasing tension in the fascia, and promoting relaxation. By addressing structural restrictions in the CranioSacral System, the therapy aims to restore balance and reduce pain and stress. 

Ways That CranioSacral Therapy Can Help Relieve Symptoms of Migraines and Headaches:

  • Improved Cerebrospinal Fluid Circulation:

    Craniosacral Therapy focuses on the CranioSacral System, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By gently manipulating the fascia and bony structures, CST can help improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which is crucial for brain function and detoxification. 

  • Fascial Tension Release:

    The fascia is a network of connective tissue that surrounds organs, muscles, and nerves. Tension in the fascia can contribute to headaches and migraines. CranioSacral Therapy uses light touch to release tension in the fascia, potentially reducing pain and improving overall body function. 

  • Stress Reduction and Relaxation:

    Stress is a major trigger for migraines. CranioSacral Therapy promotes relaxation through gentle touch and by addressing underlying structural imbalances, which can help reduce stress and potentially lower the frequency and intensity of migraines. 

  • Structural Alignment:

    CranioSacral Therapy may also help to address structural restrictions in the head and neck, which can contribute to headaches. By gently mobilizing the skull and spinal structures, the therapy can help improve alignment and reduce tension.
