What is the difference between chiropractors and craniosacral therapists?
Both chiropractors and Physical Therapists who use craniosacral techniques generally have the same goal in mind when working with patients. Craniosacral therapy tends to be gentler and less jarring than chiropractic work and avoids rebound. Craniosacral therapists perform mobilization whereas chiropractors generally perform manipulation. Mobilization is a slow, sustained movement to the fascia or joint performed by our therapists to decrease pain and increase mobility. Manipulation is typically a quick and forceful movement of a joint although many Chiropractors are now using gentler techniques. The main thing to understand is that both types of practitioners do have the same goal in mind, they just go about attaining that goal with different techniques.
