People can have chronic pain that responds to some form of treatment but only for a short time. Others can be locked into regular treatment programs for that relief to be maintained.

The challenge with back pain is finding the root of the problem. If the problem lies in the membranes underlying the vertebrae and an exclusively bone-oriented treatment is applied, the problem will only be resolved temporarily.

Many back problems are caused by restriction patterns formed years previously. These have slowly contracted the surrounding tissue to the point of nerve inhibition. The back is also a prime location for storing emotion and trauma. Unresolved back pain is very stressful to live with and many people seek surgical intervention to remedy the problem. From a Cranio Sacral perspective this complicates the problem by layering one trauma on another. Because of the reciprocal nature of the Cranio Sacral system, the cause of back pain may actually be originating far from that area. For example, falling down stairs and landing hard on the coccyx, can manifest years later as chronic neck pain.

Any invasion of the membrane surrounding the brain or spinal cord, including lumbar puncture and epidurals, can leave patterns of restriction. If the sacrum is compressed up into the spine it can cause sciatica. This can be the result of a fall but can also happen because of damage to the legs. This affects walking and over the years affects the sacrum.

The neck is particularly sensitive to physical trauma, acting like a shock absorber for head injuries and whiplash. Whiplash is a classic example of multiple patterns of restriction in the membranes. The neck is also an area where people accumulate stress which can lead to headaches and digestive disturbances.

Restrictions in the neck can also manifest as strange sensations in the arms and hands. Patterns of restriction in the neck and shoulders can develop into frozen shoulder. Uneven growth of the membranes surrounding the spinal cord, particularly in teenagers, can result in spinal curvatures such as scoliosis. Spinal curvatures can also result from trauma to the back and legs.

Some back pain can be traced back to a difficult birth, the effects of which may not show up for years.

My Patients Say This:

'When I first came to see John in early 2006 I was feeling so down and totally out of hope for recovery.

I had been sick for more than two years with almost no sign of recovery whatsoever. I had seen all kinds of doctors (mostly neurologists) and I had even had my head scanned.

Further, I had seen a lot of chiropractors and therapists, including other cranio sacral therapists.

I suffered heavily from dizziness, head aches, lack of ability to concentrate and a general fatigue which made it impossible for me to do anything without getting tired and feeling totally worn out.

However, all of this changed radically when I went to see John. Already after the first session I felt significantly better the following week. I was amazed and my condition just kept getting better and better over the next 4-5 months until I was almost 100% okay.

Today, I experience only very insignificant fatigue when I work extremely hard. But I guess that’s even pretty normal, so I think it is fair to say that I have fully recovered.

Thank you very much for this, John!! And to all you guys out there of course there are no guarantees when it comes to illness, but you have also got a chance!

And John’s way of doing things may very well work for you!

My case is a very good example of that.'

'Dear John,
This is a letter to say thank you. When I came to see you I can't say I had any great trust in you or cranio sacral therapy either. But I knew that my bi-polar disorder was quite literally threatening my life and I needed help. You gave me that help and I can only say how grateful I am to you.

I never thought I could ever live a 'normal' life, but now I do, and it's thanks to you. (Hey, that's poetry!)
Thanks, John.'

'THANKS A MILLION.
John,
Just a few lines to thank you for the help and treatment you have given me throughout my illness. You not only helped me but you gave me encouragement.

The medical profession gave up on me whereas you didn't.

You saved me from going for an operation and for that I am truly greatful.
Best wishes for the future. '

Heather Mitrovic - Brisbane, Australia.

'I first came across John's healing sessions while recovering from major brain surgery. Thankfully I am now fully recovered and I know that John was a key in that recovery providing a fundamental building block of support and healing strength.

The beauty of John's healing is that it encompasses the whole person, not just the physical and he works with an amazing sense of humour, lightness and love.'

C. Delaney, Risk analyst - London.

'The quality of my life in many areas has improved immensely and the layers of healing that John helped me through continue to have a beneficial effect on my health and my life.'

'I had Cranio Sacral Therapy for severe pain in my neck and shoulders. During the treatment I experienced a state of deep relaxation and wonderful healing.

My neck and shoulder pain is gone and many other little complaints disappeared. My health has improved greatly, I am feeling more secure and my energy level has increased beyond my wildest dreams.'

'When I first attended John Dalton I was suffering from high blood pressure, irregular heart beat and had not slept properly for approximately two months. Although initially sceptical, after the first session I was quite convinced that it was effective.

My sleep pattern immediately improved and my chest pressures eased.

The power of this treatment has been that it did not just cure the physical and most obvious symptoms but continued on to help me cure the emotional and more subtle problems which lay at the core of everything.'

Tony Gallery, Computer Analyst - Geneva, Switzeraland.

'I was in a car accident, receiving serious head injuries and was in a coma for three days. When I first saw John I couldn't co-ordinate my eyes and had double vision. I had memory loss and poor concentration.

I was amazed by John's sensitivity. A few days after my first treatment my eyes came back into line and have been perfect ever since, my mental abilities and my energy steadily improved.'

Kathy Kennedy, Acupuncturist - Cork, Ireland.

'I experienced Cranio Sacral Therapy as a powerful way of accessing the wisdom of the body. It brought me in touch with areas of myself that analytical work could not reach.'
