I have had many Craniosacral treatments as part of my osteopathic treatment, once a month for the last 17 (+or-) years.
The treatments have had no effect on my seizures good or bad, but they do help with pain from my spinal injuries, although the help the treatment provides is very brief.

Hi A Marie, welcome to CWE!
I looked into cranio-sacral treatments a while back. I had just the one c-s-massage. Since my seizures are already controlled by meds, there was no way for me to evaluate whether the massage made a difference. From what I've read about cranio-sacral massage, it's made a difference for some people, but there hasn't been a ton of science to back it up. At the very least, I think it can work to relieve stress, since it's such a gentle, calming procedure.
Are your son's seizures fully-controlled by the Lamictal? If not, have the cranio-sacral sessions provided additional seizure control? it would be great to know.
