About Cranial Facial Release
Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is an advanced endo-nasal “balloon-assisted” cranial adjusting technique that has been used very successfully in the treatment of various neurological and structural disorders – often as a last resort treatment for difficult conditions after conventional forms of treatment have failed – for things like head trauma (TBI), PCS, post-stroke symptoms, Bell’s Palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, migraine headaches, vertigo, tinnitus, seizures, TMJ disorder, hearing loss, visual disturbances, breathing disorders, snoring, sleep apnea, sinusitis, deviated septum’s, emotional disorders, learning disorders, loss of smell, loss of taste, cranial distortions/deformities in infants + babies with plagiocephaly – the list goes on and on.
The technique is performed by inserting tiny balloons in the nose (specifically the naso-pharynx) then quickly inflating to mobilize the bones of the face and cranium. The procedure is performed in a series of 4 days of treatment, with specific bilateral inflation patterns administered on each individual day. It typically takes 3-4 series (12-16 individual days of treatment) to achieve maximal benefit from CFR.

Benefits of Cranial Facial Release
The Primary Objective of Cranial Facial Release
The primary objective of CFR is “to open up the breathing passageways and mobilize the bones of the face and cranium with the intention of increasing oxygen capacity to the brain facilitating the proper flow of cerebrospinal fluid – an intricate component of normal brain function. What people need to realize is that the skull is not one solid bone. It is made up of 22 individual bones that actually move every time you breathe – or at least they are supposed to. Every time you inhale, the cranium expands. Every time you exhale the cranium relaxes and contracts with the purpose of pumping cerebrospinal fluid throughout the brain and spinal cord. This is imperative to normal brain function.
Thus, if the individual cranial bones are fixated or “stuck” and do not move like they’re supposed to, it causes torque on the dura (the outer meningeal covering of the brain) and impediment of cerebrospinal fluid to that part of your brain – thus, whatever part of your body that section of your brain controls will be directly affected and compromised by that dysfunction of the nervous system at that level.
