Is Spinal Manipulation Safe for Neck Pain? Debunking Common Myths. Real risks, side effects, and safe alternatives explained.
Dr. Casey, Chiropractor, now offers Craniosacral Therapy — an anatomically precise and light hands-on technique. It can be helpful for headaches, jaw tension, stress, and muscle tightness. Craniosacral therapy can be incorporated into chiropractors visits as a low force, gentle technique that may or may not include a chiropractic adjustment, based on patients’ preferences.
This gentle, hands-on therapy technique uses light touch to assess and address restrictions in the body’s soft tissues and joints. The aim of CST is to support the body to improve tissue mobility, reduce tension, and promote overall physical comfort.
Note: Please note that this service is billed under chiropractic.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that works with the craniosacral system, including the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, to help release tension and support balance in the body.
It may benefit people with headaches, jaw or neck tension, stress, concussion symptoms, chronic pain, or anyone looking for a low-force, calming approach to care.
Sessions are very gentle and relaxing, with no forceful techniques or adjustments. Most people rest comfortably and may notice a sense of calm or subtle release.
Many people feel relaxed or grounded afterward. Some may notice mild fatigue or mild soreness as the body adjusts, which typically passes quickly.
