Nasal Cranial Release
This treatment is recommended for patients who suffer from a variety of symptoms that can linked to traumatic brain injuries, like poor concentration, muscle spasms, neck and shoulder pain, headache pain, head pressure, and migraines. Interestingly, nasal cranial release therapy has been observed to have psychology effects as well, bringing relief to conditions like anxiety, depression, nervousness and PTSD. A secondary effect from this procedure is better breathing by expansion of the sinus cavitie
Procedure
Release Technique is a powerful structural technique that adjusts the bones of the skull. This was developed by Dr. J. R. Stober of Portland. The procedure uses a small finger cot affixed to an inflatable device which is inserted into the nasal passages. The balloon inflation presses outward against the bones lining the breathing passages and adjusts the sutures of the skull, particularly the sphenoid. This ultimately relieves the forces that have gone into the skull by releasing any impactions in the cranial sutures.
One of the confusions of this therapy are the multitude of names for it—Endonasal Technique, Cranial Facial Release, Nasal Cranial Release, Bilateral Nasal Specific Technique, Functional Cranial Release, and Neurocranial Restructuring Nasal Specific Technique. These have all been used to describe the procedure.
