Reduce Tension Between Your Chiropractic Adjustments

Do you ever feel tension, stress or a headache coming on between your chiropractic adjustments? Does it ever happen outside of your chiropractor's regular office hours...like at 9:30 at night and it took forever to get your kids to bed, or on Saturday evening and your next appointment is on Tuesday?

Still Point InducerThe Still Point Inducer is a great product to have at home for just these occasions! Here is some information from the website that I use to order the product for my office:


Use this simple device inspired by Dr. John Upledger and created by John Matthew Upledger to create soothing still points like those you can achieve with CranioSacral Therapy. 
By applying gentle pressure to the base of your head, you can create a pause in the rhythm of the craniosacral system. These still points increase the movement of fluid through your system, which can remove tissue tension and improves your body's ability to relieve pain and stress naturally. 

Simply lying in a relaxed position on the Still Point Inducer for 10 to 20 minutes a day can bring about comforting results:
* Helps relieve headaches
* Eases chronic musculoskeletal pain
* Enhances immune system efficiency
* Facilitates your body's self-correcting abilities
* Provides deep relaxation and helps reduce stress
* Promotes an overall sense of well-being

This is really a simple to use device. Just align the Still Point Inducer with your ears while lying on the floor or other firm surface and allow your body to relax. I have found in my own experience and based on comments from patients that use it, that the during the first few minutes of use you may feel a "good hurt," but after that you begin to feel relief. Patients that are receiving chiropractic adjustments for headaches have reported that using the device when the tension first comes on will keep a headache from occurring. This can be especially helpful early in treatment before the misalignments or subluxations in the neck have had time to stabilize. Others have stated that the Still Point Inducer helps reduce sinus congestion as well. We have even had patients doze off while using it while at the office, so the claim of providing "deep relaxation" has certainly held true in my experience.

If you are suffering with chronic headaches, tension or stress, make sure you first get evaluated by your chiropractor to find out if misalignments in your spine are causing increased stress on your nervous system! Then ask if using a Still Point Inducer is right for you.
