Craniosacral Can Potentially Help Regulate
Your Anxiety And Stress Level That Could Be Wrecking Your Health.
In recent months I have been
getting numerous calls from men and women asking for help for their anxiety and
stress issues despite of them eating right, exercising and resting.
One recent example is a man in
his early 40’s who has high anxiety level and has symptoms of Tinnitus: buzzing or ringing noise in the
ear.
Common
Causes of Tinnitus:
Noise
exposure.
Exposure to loud noises can damage the outer hair
cells, which are part of the inner ear. These hair cells do not grow back once
they are damaged. Even short exposure to very loud sounds, such as gunfire, can
be damaging to the ears and cause permanent hearing loss. Long periods of
exposure to moderately loud sounds, such as factory noise or music played
through earphones, can result in just as much damage to the inner ear, with
permanent hearing loss and tinnitus. Listening to moderately loud sounds for
hours at a young age carries a high risk of developing hearing loss and
tinnitus later in life.
Age-related hearing loss.
Earwax blocking the ear canal. When too much
earwax accumulates, it becomes too hard to wash away naturally, causing hearing
loss or irritation of the eardrum, which can lead to tinnitus.
Less Common Causes of Tinnitus:
1. Meniere's
disease.
Tinnitus can be an early indicator of Meniere's
disease, an inner ear disorder that may be caused by abnormal inner ear fluid
pressure. A feeling of ear fullness, vertigo, and hearing loss are other
symptoms of Meniere’s disease.
2. Ear
bone changes.
Stiffening of the bones in your middle ear may affect your hearing and cause
tinnitus. This condition, caused by abnormal bone growth, tends to run in
families.
3. TMJ
disorders.
Problems with the temporomandibular joint, the joint
on each side of your head in front of your ears, where your lower jawbone meets
your skull, and/or extensive dental works can cause tinnitus.
4. Head
injuries or neck injuries.
Head or neck trauma can affect the inner ear,
hearing nerves or brain function linked to hearing. Such injuries generally
cause tinnitus in only one ear.
Challenges like these cause your nervous
system to go into an adrenal state of red alert, known as “fight or flight.” This makes your nervous system hypersensitive
and causes dramatic changes throughout your body. The central nervous system allows for
communication throughout the parts of the body. The
central nervous system is also responsible for processing every sensation and
thought you experience. The sensory information that is gathered by receptors
throughout the body then passes this information on to the central nervous
system. The central nervous system also sends messages out to the rest of the
body in order to control movement, actions and responses to the environment.
The endocrine
system is also essential to communication.
The endocrine system utilizes glands located throughout the body, which secrete
hormones that regulate a variety of things such as metabolism, digestion, blood
pressure and growth. While the endocrine system is not directly linked to the
nervous system, the two interact in a number of ways.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
works with the underlying cause of imbalances in the nervous system and
endocrine system. It also aims to reduce restrictions of the bones, especially
of the temporal bone which houses the ear, muscles and ligament attachments
which when hypertonic (contracted) can exacerbate the problem.
Craniosacral
also potentially removes restrictions on the bones of the skull, spinal column
and sacrum allowing the cerebrospinal fluid to flow. Cerebrospinal
fluid is a clear, colorless fluid that flows through the brain and spinal cord,
surrounding and cushioning it from injury. Cerebrospinal fluid has the same
consistency as water and delivers nutrients to your central nervous system. Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by the choroid plexus,
in the ventricles, or hollow spaces, in your brain. Cerebrospinal fluid is
completely replaced every few hours and carries away waste material.
Whatever the cause, it will be
important to teach yourself to feel your body again, and become aware of places
in your body where the stress and tension is holding on and also of places
where you feel resource and at ease. At
first you may find this difficult and over a period of time you will be able to
sense more places of resource and at ease in your whole body.
