Title: cranial osteopath
Post by gwen on Aug 7^th, 2003, 3:59pm

i was wondering if any body has tried treatments with a cranial osteopath for ch. i ve read up on a woman that suffered ch for 4 and half months every day. and after 3 or 4 treatment it worked . they say that the mid meningeal artery can be manipulated back into position. the meninges are the fibres covering the brain,which have their own blood supply. i had 1 treatment my self going back next thursday. has anyone esle tried this treatment. please help would love some reply. many thnks. gwen.

Cranial osteopathic treatment involves hands-on manipulation to gently free areas of the body which have restricted motion. Treatment often involves cradling the head or the sacrum (tailbone), using gentle pressures to free movement of restricted bones or other tissues. This type of treatment is also used to treat any area of the body. Through these approaches many complaints can be treated, including low back problems, TMJ dysfunction, headaches and menstrual cramps. In addition, patients often experience an ongoing, improved sense of well-being and health.

I go to a DO. a young guy, he has never mentioned this as a viable treatment for cluster headache. I doubt he will either.
