Look at www.Upledger.com to find a Craniosacral Therapist with an Integrative Approach to Help with Pain Relief if you want to get to the core potential to heal.

What to ask when you contact a therapist

When you reach out, here are some questions to help vet whether they’re a good match:

Experience

“Have you worked with clients who have chronic migraines or recurring headaches?”

“Do you use pain psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, or mindfulness-based approaches with people in pain?”

Approach / Modality

• “What methods or frameworks do you use (e.g. CBT, ACT, MBSR, somatic work)?”

• “How do you integrate the fact that I have a neurological / physical health condition into therapy?”

Coordination of care

“Are you willing to communicate with my neurologist or headache specialist (with my consent)?”

“Have you worked in multidisciplinary teams (doctors, physical therapists, pain clinics)?”

Practicals

Do you accept my insurance (in-network)?

What’s your rate if out-of-network?

Do you offer sliding scale?

Are sessions in person, telehealth, or hybrid?

How often do you typically see clients in similar situations?

Sure mediation can help.  But wouldn’t you rather reach for your body’s own ability to deeply heal the core issue?  There are no guarantees, however-I have seen many people get much better over a series of Craniosacral Therapy and other manual therapies.  Often my clients feel well after a the orignal sessions and then end up coming about once a month to maintain.

If you ahve severe neck issues, it might be best to work with a team of practitioners/doctors.
