Cranial Facial Release

Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is an advanced endo-nasal “Balloon Assisted” cranial adjusting technique that has been used quite successfully in the treatment of various neurological and structural disorders. Most patients who come in for CFR treatment are often “last resort” patients who have tried everything else first. CFR often succeeds where other forms of conventional treatment have failed. CFR is the best alternative solution and the most sought out modality for sinus and deviated septum surgeries.

The objective of the Cranial Facial Release (CFR) technique is to mobilize the bones in the face and cranium to open up the breathing passageways. This is commonly used on patients experiencing breathing disorders, sinus conditions, or more commonly, snoring problems. This technique is performed by inserting tiny balloons in the nose (specifically the naso pharynx) that are quickly inflated to mobilize the bones of the face and cranium. It feels very similar to the sensation experienced when jumping into a swimming pool and having water shoot up your nose. The whole procedure takes about 2 to 3 seconds and consists of a series of 4 treatments in a 2 week period.

Conditions that respond favorably to CFR treatment:

Breathing Disorders | Sinus Conditions | Snoring | Sleep Apnea | Migraine Headaches | Head Trauma | Post Concussion Syndrome | Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | Trigeminal Neuralgia | Facial Paralysis | Bell’s Palsy | Tinnitus | Vertigo | Seizures | Strokes | Insomnia | TMJ Disorders | Learning Disorders | Attention Deficit Disorder | Neurological Disorders | Emotional Disorders | Hearing Impairments | Vision, Stigmatism | Glaucoma | Anxiety | Autism | Depression | Neurosis | Epilepsy | Down syndrome | Cerebral Palsy | Multiple Sclerosis | Muscular Dystrophy | Parkinson’s Tremors

It is important to note that CFR is not directed at the treatment of any one specific disease or disorder. It’s primary objective is to mobilize the cranial bones, unlock cranial fixations, open the breathing passageways, facilitate cerebral spinal fluid flow, increase vascular flow to and venous drainage from the cranium, and optimize brain function. This often times improves symptoms related to various structural and neurological disorders.
