Wow, I can't believe that you would actually infer that I do not have a fractured spine! Do I have to post the xrays and CT scan results!? The Doctor at the hospital told me not to move for at least 6 weeks. He put me in a brace sent me home. I went to a spine specialist and she spent an hour with me. She told me that my fracture is stable, and that I was allowed to do what I wanted, using pain as my guide.
I credit the cranial sacral therapy with my rapid healing; my ribs and lower right belly did not even respond to the narcotics when I was in the hospital for 2 days. By the time I left the hospital, I was able to use only Ibuprofin for pain relief. Within 4 days, my pain in my ribs was totally gone. Within 7 days my back pain was 80% eliminated.
Honestly, I do not understand cranial sacral therapy. I don't know what the healer actually does, but, I do know that I feel remarkably well and that I have virtually no pain, a good range of motion and full neurological capability. Following please find a definition (From wikipedia) of the treatment:
Craniosacral therapy (also called CST, cranial osteopathy, also spelled CranioSacral therapy) is a method of alternative medicine used by massage therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths, who manually apply a subtle movement of the spinal and cranial bones to bring the central nervous system into harmony. This therapy involves assessing and addressing the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which can be restricted by trauma to the body, such as through falls, accidents, and general nervous tension. By gently working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia, the restrictions of nerve passages are eased, the movement of CSF through the spinal cord can be optimized, and misaligned bones can be restored to their proper position. This therapy is particularly useful for mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ Syndrome, and for chronic nervous conditions such as fibromyalgia.
