CRANIOSACRAL

THERAPY

Enlarged cervical lymph nodes is a regular finding in ASD, and research suggests that there may be a significant association with otorhinolaryngologic (mouth, ears, nose and throat) infections and inflammations causing this enlargement. Swollen lymph nodes in the cervical area may cause a restriction of lymph flow from the brain, which in turn may be a root factor in the development of lesions and fluid accumulation inside the brain.

Researchers discovered that lesions in the brains of autistic individuals, which were associated with the accumulation of excessive cerebrospinal fluid

Research suggests that lymphatic clearance of the brain may play an important role in neuro-immunological diseases such as ASD, and that manual lymphatic drainage techniques (MLD) at the level of deep cervical nodes may improve brain lymphatic drainage, possibly resulting in decrease of neuro-inflammation that is typical in autism.
