What is Bio Cranial Systems Healthcare (BCS)?
To make it simple the doctor moves the bones of the skull and makes the whole body work better.
Move the bones of the skull (cranium)---- what, are you crazy? No. Years ago an Osteopathic Doctor named William Sutherland determined the intricate sutures or joints between the 22 bones of the cranium moved ever so slightly allowing a subtle respiratory movement. This movement is an expansion and contraction or pumping action for production and movement of cerebral spinal fluid. When this movement does not occur properly the brain and the nervous system are not at optimum performance.
Another factor influencing the connection between the brain and the rest of the nervous system is the tough surrounding material, the Dura Mater. The Dura is attached to skull and the top two neck vertebra, proceeding down to the attachments on the tailbone or sacrum. Distortions (changed shape) of the skull causes distortions of the dura all the way down the spine. This increased tension puts stress on the vertebral joints. As chiropractors we have been adjusting these subluxations. The problem is that the patient may feel better but regularly has the same subluxation patterns. 80% of the nervous system is above the top vertebra. Bio Cranial Systems addresses this MAJOR distortion. In the 1980's a Osteopath, Dr. Robert Boyd of the United Kingdom perfected the technique of Bio Cranial as it is presently taught (all certified doctors are taught by Dr. Boyd himself).
Who needs Bio Cranial Systems? Besides everyone with a skull; try to notice your family or friends and look for distortions in their faces, one eye closed more than the other, one ear higher, jaw shifted to one side etc. You can even watch TV and look at the newscasters for distortions. Where there are distortions there is tension to the nervous system.
What is the Autonomic Nervous System? Think of the word AUTOMATIC; this part of the nervous system controls the functions of your body without you thinking about them. Heart rate, temperature, hormone release, respiration and more. There are two parts to this system; sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic is the "Fight or Flight" mechanism responsible for preparing your body for stress. This is a more contracted, faster mode. Parasympathetic is the relaxer mode and slows things down. Both systems are important for proper body function, however too much of one or the other produces problems within the body. Bio Cranial Systems helps the body to balance these two important parts of the nervous system. Many Fibromyalgia patients are in the Sympathetic mode too long (chronically) and feel the constant drain of the body's neurotransmitters. Example: The sympathetic system is responsible for a slight boost of adrenalin when one goes from a seated position to a standing position, this causes the heart to pump more blood for the added work necessary in standing. A person whose sympathetic's are burned out will feel fatigued and light-headed rising from a seated position to a standing position because the heart is not supplying more blood. This is just one of many examples of loss of proper function in the Autonomic Nervous System, others include chronically contracted muscles causing spasm and pain, gastric disturbances, difficulty sleeping and more..
How long does a BCS session take? The procedure itself is very short, usually 2-3 minutes (less in young children) "The Three Minute Miracle", yet the results are profound and long lasting. There is no "popping" or jerking movements with Bio Cranial Systems technique. The technique may cause some slight discomfort in some and a pleasurable stretch in others, yet there is usually a great sense of relief immediately following the procedure.
How many sessions will I need? Generally that depends on how bad the distortions are and how long they have been there. Immediately after your BCS you should notice substantial changes taking place. For long-standing conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Neuropathies, Asthma etc. as many as 20 sessions may be required to get your body functioning at a level high enough to make major changes. Many patients however notice immediate changes within the first few corrections. Bio Cranial does not cure any named or known diseases; it justs sets the body up to work more efficiently healing itself.
What types of conditions respond to BCS? Many, many types of conditions respond. The nervous system controls and coordinates all functions of the body. The body is an incredible healing machine that can do amazing things as long as it is not interfered with. The following are just a few of the conditions that have responded favorably:
Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Sciatica
ADD/ADHD
Parkinson's
Hiatal Hernia - G.E.R.D.
Some Psychological conditions
TMJ
Migraine Headaches
Tension Headaches
Back and neck pain
Asthma
Autism
Female Problems - PMS - Infertility
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Frozen Shoulder
Immune Disorders
and more
Note:
Although Bio Cranial Therapy is a very powerful technique and appears simple to perform, the precise procedure requires extensive hands-on training to perfect. Some patients have experienced dramatic improvements in their health, but there are no guarantees, or attempts to claim Bio Cranial Therapy treats or cures any known or labeled disease. No untrained person should attempt to perform this procedure. The technique is designed simply to relieve tension on the dura to facilitate normal brain and nervous system function by facilitating normal cranial motion. Each person responds individually to Bio Cranial Therapy. Persons taking medications under the supervision of their medical physician are cautioned to closely monitor their dosages and symptoms with the direct supervision of their physician, as some patients have needed to decrease the dosages of their medications after Bio Cranial Therapy. If you are currently taking ANY medication, please closely monitor your situation with your medical doctor during Bio Cranial Therapy.
