Craniosacral system

QuestionAnswer
Significance It is believed that problems with the craniosacral system can affect a wide variety of health conditions
Nerves All nerves that control parasympathetic function of the body's organs originate from cranial or sacral nerves
Cerebrospinal fluid Clear liquid in the brain that supports or buoys the brain, cushions the central nervous system, and carries nutrients
Ventricles of the brain Four pockets in the brain where csf is produced
Choroid plexus Tissue in the ventricles that produces most of csf
Craniosacral mechanism was first observed by William Sutherland DO
He theorized that Sutures were moveable, the beveled edge of the sphenoid bone has a respiratory function, the brain expands and contracts rhythmically to move csf through the cranial vault
Who developed craniosacral as a modality? John Upledger DO
According to Upledger The production of csf is faster then reabsorption therefore the rise and fall of csf is achieved by homeostatic regulation, csf reaches upper limit then stops about 6-8 times/min.
The belief with craniosacral is Through gental palpation and manipulation the system can be affected to promote balance, amplitude, and symmetry in rhythm that affects overall health
