Many who have tried surgery, are still left with the same symptoms of post-nasal drip, trouble breathing, and congestion after paying thousands of dollars. \u00a0The average costs of these surgeries like turbinate reduction, septoplasty, and balloon sinuplasty range from $9,000 to $15,000.Our non-surgical treatment is a fraction of the cost and less invasive.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-heading fl-node-59535ccfdc067\" style=\"color: #808080;\" data-node=\"59535ccfdc067\" data-animation-delay=\"0.0\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<h3 class=\"fl-heading\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"fl-heading-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">How does the procedure work?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-59535d3ed7662\" style=\"color: #808080;\" data-node=\"59535d3ed7662\" data-animation-delay=\"0.0\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-rich-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our body is in constant search for balance. When a concussion or birth trauma occurs, the bones of the skull are impacted by force. When the skull is not in proper alignment, the rest of the body will attempt to compensate by changing the way we move. This can create poor posture, breathing difficulties, chronic pain, and even depression. Nasal Release Technique places the bones in better alignment, which optimizes the neurotransmitter activity throughout the Central Nervous System.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-heading fl-node-59535d8a6bc11\" style=\"color: #808080;\" data-node=\"59535d8a6bc11\" data-animation-delay=\"0.0\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #7a6d4a;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">WHAT IS NASAL SPECIFIC AND WHY IT WORKS<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nasal Specific Technique (NST) is similar to Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is an advanced endo-nasal \u201cBalloon Assisted\u201d cranial adjusting technique. It is a specialized technique that was derived from an earlier form of endo-nasal cranial adjusting called Bilateral Nasal Specific (BNS) pioneered by Dr. Richard Stober in the 1960\u2019s and 70\u2019s. CFR was originated by Dr. Adam Del Torto, DC and is an offshoot of BNS, but is much more specific and much less invasive.The objective of CFR technique is to unlock cranial fixations and induce mobility in the cranial system \u2013 primarily targeting the sphenoid bone, with the purpose of facilitating normal cranial respiratory motion and normal cranial function. 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 is a very fast procedure and feels similar to the sensation of jumping into a swimming pool and having water shoot up your nose \u2013 it isn\u2019t exactly painful, but not the most comfortable sensation either \u2013 but it\u2019s quick! The whole process takes about 2 to 3 seconds, and is performed in a series of 4 individual days of treatment over a 7-10 day period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0Please watch the video below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introduction to the Nasal Specific by Dr. Craig Buhler\" width=\"605\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pl8GqZulWok?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> To understand how NST works, it is important to realize that the skull is NOT one solid bone. It is made up of 22 individual bones that actually move every time you breathe \u2013 or at least they are supposed to. But cranial fixations are a common occurrence and often times the root cause of many chronic neurological conditions and recurrent pain syndromes that don\u2019t respond to conventional chiropractic adjusting procedures. Frequent causes of cranial aberrations and sutural fixations are things like head trauma, birth trauma, uneven bite force (TMJ disorder), bruxism, etc., yet these conditions are seldom detected and rarely addressed by chiropractors.It is important to realize that cranial motion is not \u201cgross osseous movement\u201d \u2013 it is more of an expansion &amp; relaxation type of movement, with each cranial bone having its own specific direction of motion. This \u201ccranial respiratory motion\u201d works in direct conjunction with \u201csacral respiratory motion\u201d and is the key mechanism by which Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) is produced in the choroid plexus and circulated throughout the brain and spinal cord. This is essential to normal brain function which is essential to normal body function, embodying the basic scientific and philosophical foundation of chiropractic.What differentiates Cranial Facial Release from other endo-nasal techniques is that CFR is based on SOT (Sacro Occipital Technique) protocols with emphasis being placed on clearing everything below the level of the Atlas before adjusting the cranium. By \u201cclearing everything below the Atlas\u201d we are referring to the methods by which we locate and remove spinal subluxations and reduce torque off the dura before it enters into the cranial vault using SOT procedures and conventional chiropractic adjusting techniques. Relieving Dural Torque is a primary objective of CFR technique, as it plays an intricate role in cranial function and more importantly brain function. But relieving dural torque has an even greater effect on body function than just optimizing brain function. By reducing dural tension at its anterior attachment (at the diaphragma selli, which engulfs &amp; ensheaths the base of the pituitary) it reduces mechanical torque on the pituitary gland and helps facilitate normal endocrine function.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #7a6d4a;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">RESEARCH STUDIES<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This concept was supported by research performed in the late 1930\u2019s by Dr. A.D. Speransky, M.D., Director of Research at the All Union Institute of Experimental Medicine and author of the book, A Basis for the Theory of Medicine. Through his research, Dr. Speransky determined that \u201cslight mechanical torque on the control centers of the brain, and especially the pituitary-hypothalmus complex caused destructive pathologies throughout the entire body\u201d. This was a 10-year study during which Dr. Speransky was able to identify over 80 specific disorders that he could directly attribute to this \u201cmechanical torque\u201d phenomena. CFR cranial balloon adjusting in conjunction with post-inflation CFR manual cranial adjusting procedures are specifically directed at reducing mechanical dural torque on the brain and pituitary gland. These studies lend support to the concept that CFR adjusting procedures enhances both brain and pituitary function, optimizing the primary two control systems of the body.The majority of people who come in for CFR treatment are often last resort patients looking for sinus relief. They have been through the gamut of conventional medical procedures without success, and are looking for a more conservative alternative approach to care that is cost effective and works! For things like breathing disorders, sinusitis, snoring, sleep apnea, deviated septums, migraine headaches, vertigo, facial pain (Trigeminal Neuralgia), facial paralysis (Bell\u2019s Palsy), TMJ disorder, Post-Concussion Syndrome, seizures, neurological disorders, and more. It has also been used successfully in the treatment of infants with craniometaphyseal dysplasia (infantile skull deformities), hydrocephalus, and children with learning disorders \u2013 which is primarily what Dr. Stober used it for.Indications<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-59535d956958e\" style=\"color: #808080;\" data-node=\"59535d956958e\" data-animation-delay=\"0.0\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-rich-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2022 Concussion and other head injuries<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Headaches, head pressure, migraines<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Low energy, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Muscle spasms, neck and shoulder pain<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Poor concentration and focus<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 PTSD<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Sinusitis, sleep apnea, snoring, other breathing and sinus disorders<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Traumatic Brain Injury<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 TMJ (mouth, head and jaw pains)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Vertigo and other balance problems<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Whiplash Syndrome<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-heading fl-node-59535de3d876c\" style=\"color: #808080;\" data-node=\"59535de3d876c\" data-animation-delay=\"0.0\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<h3 class=\"fl-heading\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"fl-heading-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Symptoms that may respond to Therapy<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-59535df6c2ddf\" style=\"color: #808080;\" data-node=\"59535df6c2ddf\" data-animation-delay=\"0.0\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-rich-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2022 Headache or facial pain\/pressure<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Congestion or fullness<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Vertigo<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Balance Problems<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Snoring or Sleep Apnea<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Breathing Problems<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 TMJ<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Nasal obstruction or blockage<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Loss of smell<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Types of Sinusitis<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Neck Pain<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 Ringing in the Ears<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-heading fl-node-59535dea665f8\" style=\"color: #808080;\" data-node=\"59535dea665f8\" data-animation-delay=\"0.0\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<h3 class=\"fl-heading\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"fl-heading-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Contraindications<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-59535e04b024c\" style=\"color: #808080;\" data-node=\"59535e04b024c\" data-animation-delay=\"0.0\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-rich-text\">\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Caution should be taken with patients who might have &#8220;bleeding disorders&#8221; or are taking anticoagulant medications.
