Osteopathy in the Cranial Field
Craniosacral osteopathy, also known as cranial osteopathy, traces its roots to Dr. William Garner Sutherland, a pioneering student of Dr. A.T. Still, the founder of osteopathic medicine. Dr. Sutherland’s insights, sparked during his studies at the American School of Osteopathy in Missouri, led to the development of osteopathy in the Cranial Field.

How Cranial Osteopathy Works
During a cranial osteopathy session, our skilled practitioners focus on restoring balance and alignment by addressing various components. Incorporating innovative techniques such as vagus nerve stimulation, our approach to cranial osteopathy maximizes the body’s innate healing mechanisms.
No two treatments are alike, as each session is tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual. By listening to the body’s innate rhythms and facilitating its self-healing mechanisms, cranial osteopathy fosters profound shifts in health and well-being.

Dr. Elisa Mercuro, DO
Dr. Elisa Mercuro, DO, a board-certified Family Physician, once found herself disillusioned with the conventional approach to healthcare. Focused on managing chronic diseases with pharmaceuticals, she realized she wasn’t truly promoting wellness or facilitating the body’s innate healing abilities.
Upon discovering functional medicine, she was moved to tears by its holistic perspective on disease. Functional Medicine aligns perfectly with osteopathy’s belief in the body’s self-healing capacity. This revelation transformed her career, her health, and the well-being of her patients.
Now, as an expert in cranial osteopathy and functional medicine, Dr. Mercuro is dedicated to sharing the principles of optimizing health and revolutionizing healthcare delivery.
