Suffering from schizophrenia. Can cranial osteopathy help?

[kumar78]

Hello!

I am 30 yrs old single man from India.  I have read about cranial osteopathy on internet. I have the symptoms since childhood which they say are curable from cranial osteopathy like ear pain, insomnia, asthama, occasional sudden shivering of body, taking unnecessary excessive tension, lack of proper communication and interpersonal skills. I am also suffering from schizophrenia since I was 20. Can you please let me know whether cranial osteopathy is safe.

As per my understanding, cranial osteopathy can help reduce tension to a great extent which can avoid unnecessary worries and hence  insomnia. If you are aware can you let me know if cranial osteopathy is a safe treatment for people of my age (30 yrs) because I could not find the related medical support community related to this type of treatment to post this question. I see this as the only option left for relief from my symptoms. I am trying alopathy, ayurvedic and many other treatments since last 9 years but it did not help much. I would appreciate if you could ask your colleagues who are into practice of cranial osteopathy.  Unfortunately, there is no cranial ostopathist in India. So, I cannot find out that myself.

Regards,
Pawan

As a sleep specialist, I have never heard of this and it is not used in the sleep field. You may want to post your question in one of the medical support communities.
