Many of our patients arrive to us with a severe stress or imbalance that has built up over time and achieved a medical label. We seek to create organization and balance, and to counteract these effects. We have partnered with a number of local upper-cervical chiropractors and believe strongly in the upper-cervical chiropractic philosophy and model of care. This chiropractic technique, combined with Craniosacral Therapy, can be a powerful tool to get your head on straight, both literally and figuratively.
Developed by John Upledger, D.O. , Craniosacral Therapy intends to find and correct disruptions in the craniosacral system of the body. This method of touch engages the body's own healing mechanisms. An imbalanced craniosacral system commonly begins with an injury to the head, neck, back or tailbone, which causes scar tissue or restrictions to form between bones and soft tissue. These irregularities restrict the body's ability to respond freely to its natural internal rhythm. Without help, the body may adapt with abnormal movement, setting off a series of uncomfortable side effects. Disruptions in the system can cause pain and dysfunction including neurological disorders, skeletal alignment problems, stress disorders and internal organ ailments. At Upright Health, we provide bodywork with the purpose of realigning energy and relieving restrictions in order to promote the free flow of energy throughout the body.
CST is safe for all ages and can help correct dysfunction on many levels as well as maintain balance and wellness. It has also historically been used to address a broad range of physical, emotional and developmental issues. CST can be applied on newborns to help correct birth and early developmental challenges. CST promotes happy babies and provides families with a natural option to improved health and wellness. In older children, Craniosacral Therapy may be used to help address learning and developmental disorders, sports-related injuries and to promote the natural development of the child. Development has challenges that CST can be uniquely adapted to help solve, and we work with families to find solutions.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR CST SESSION
CST is a gentle, hands-on approach performed over the clothing, applying light pressure to the areas of the craniosacral system, such as to the bones of the skull, respiratory diaphragm, down the spine to the tailbone. When you visit us, please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, and be prepared to relax and unwind. After your treatment, please plan to allow 15-30 minutes to re-enter your day. Ideally, you would be heading home to process and integrate the treatment you have received. If you can not go home, then simply plan light activity if possible, to give your body time to apply what it has learned from the treatment.
