CFR (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 primary objective of CFR is to open up the breathing passages and induce mobility in the cranial system (specifically the sphenoid bone) with the purpose of facilitating normal cerebral spinal fluid flow. 

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.
