FIRST STOP; RESEARCH LAB! Before we suggest the therapy, we do our due diligence in regards to scientific evidence that deems the highlighted form of pain management useful. The Control Chiari category that we examine here is Manipulative & Body Based Methods. The specific method within this category is called Craniosacral Therapy (CST), which is a gentle hands-on technique that uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of the fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity. Numerous studies have shown Craniosacral Therapy (CST) to be effective in relieving headaches, migraines, and chronic neck pain.¹ CST has been proven to help a variety of pain syndromes.² Chiari malformation is a neurological condition that can restrict the cerebrospinal fluid flow and thus alter physiological function. However, interventions on the biomechanics of the craniosacral axis and actions on connective tissue restrictions and the extracellular matrix, where all the enzymatic metabolic and stimulus transmission processes take place,³ are the therapeutic bases of Craniosacral Therapy (CST) in Chiari. CST can work to release fascial restrictions on the membranes around the nervous system through addressing facilitation of cerebrospinal fluid flow in terms of symmetry, quality, amplitude, and rate, as well as the alignment and mobility of bones that promotes alignment. This simply means that CST can improve fluid exchange and mitigate pain. functional limitations.
