Re: Craniosacral Treatment

[Guest guest]

Hello Kelley,

We have just started using this treatment for the last month with my

five-year ds. My insurance pays for my son's chiropractor treatments so

we thought we would try it since a friend of ours said it helped her

son calm down and concentrate better than ever. I have not seen any

dramatic change in his behavior but my son loves going to these

appointments and chats it up with our doctor everytime we go which is

not something he normally does with strangers. You can email offline if

you have more questions.

This is one of many "treatments" out there for autism. You just have to be careful where you put your time and money. Check into each suggested treatment and look for scientific studies proving that it really works. Of course, anyone who sees a chiropractor is going to feel better afterwards. Just like anyone who improves their diet will feel better. The truth is, nothing really works except a lot of hard work - therapies aimed directly at teaching skills that people need.

I can't comment as to helping with autism. I can say that, online, a

couple or so parents love it for themselves, helps with

stress/anxiety. Those comments were made when someone asked about it

in another group. Now - my son, now age 18, had it back in 6th

grade. His OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) popped up that year,

was severe. (He was diagnosed with HFA/Aspergers in 8th grade) The

craniosacral treatment was *not* good for him. He felt fine during

and after it but hours later his OCD was a *lot* worse; I pinpointed

it back to the treatment days and we stopped the treatment and didn't

have such increased evening episodes again. So for him, it wasn't

good. I said something to my older sister about it and her boyfriend

at the time - who from her comments to me over time was making me

think " bipolar " - had tried it also and she said he always seemed more

agitated afterwards.

An occupational therapist who was trained in it treated my son.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing or not but I heard biocranial treatment is being used to treat autism. I was going to try it with my son but I did it with myself first (to treat teeth grinding, which it didn't help by the way) and it hurt so bad that I didn't think my son would be able to handle it if I barely could.Kelley <aspieparentof1@...> wrote: Has anyone tried this?

It's not painful. Light touch to the head. Do a websearch, and

there's a site that promotes this, provides information.

My daughter has had a few sessions as part of her OT time. She's doing

well overall, its hard to pinpoint specifically what is helping. She's

also doing therapeutic music, sensory integration, taking fish oil etc.

But she is improving socially and in other areas (age 4).

i recently received craniosacral treatment for daily headaches from

which i suffered with for 5 years. i lived on motrin everyday for all

that time, just to take the edge of the headache. i am happy to report

after 3 treatments, the headaches are gone, just like magic. i did not

go in believing it would help. and the treatment did not hurt at all,

infact it felt very good --like it was relieving pressure. i would be

also feel very groggy after a treatment for about 30 minutes. i don't

know if this would help with autism or not, but after trying just about

everything else from physical therapy, accupuncture, chiropractic,

massage, you name it i tried, this worked for me for chronic headaches.

what my research indicated was that it is important to get the right

person, if you want results. i guess there is not a governing body

on this practice. i lucked out because my physical therapist just

happened to be trained. and he happened to be capable. my cost

would be the normal co-pay of $15/treatment. it was extremely

fortunate.

i know this does not help you. however, the medical community is

opening up to alternatives, perhaps your regular doctor could make a

recommendation, or perhaps there would an affiliation website that

makes recommendations. best of luck to you.
