Cranial Facial Release (Formerly Neuro Cranial Restructuring)
"Never
put anything
in your ear
smaller than
your elbow,
and never
put anything
in your nose
smaller than
a balloon".
Sound familiar?
Maybe the
first part
of that sentence,
but very
few people
would ever
fathom the
idea of putting
a balloon
up their
nose (unless
of course
you are under
the age of
three). But
many people
are traveling
great distances
to do just
that. What
am I talking
about? I
am referring
to a revolutionary
new "cranial
adjusting
technique"
called Cranial Facial Release (CFR),
which is
being performed
by local
chiropractor
Dr. Adam
Del Torto
for the treatment
of sinus
conditions,
migraines,
dizziness,
and much
more. Dr.
Del Torto
has been
performing
this unique
treatment
on his patients
since 1998,
and with
incredible
results.
How does
it work?
It is performed
by inserting
a tiny balloon
inside your
nose and
quickly inflating
it to "induce
cranial motion"
and clear
the breathing
passages.
Sound crazy?
Well as bazaar
as it sounds,
most people
who undergo
this treatment
usually improve
enough to
want to do
it again,
according
to Dr. Del
Torto. "Most
people balk
at the idea
of inflating
a balloon
inside their
nose, but
as uncomfortable
as it sounds,
the majority
of patient's
want it done
again!"
Does it hurt?
Not really,
it feels
similar to
having water
shoot your
nose after
jumping into
a swimming
pool, but
some consider
it uncomfortable.
The good
news is that
it is a very
quick procedure
only lasting
about 2-3
seconds.
Balloon therapy
has been
used by osteopaths
since the
early 1900's
for the treatment
of sinus
conditions,
which it
works for
exceptionally
well - but
it also works
well on a
variety of
other health
conditions.
To understand
this treatment
better, it
is important
to realize
that your
skull is
not one solid
bone, but
made up of
22 individual
bones that
actually
move every
time you
breathe -
or at least
they are
supposed
to. This
"normal
cranial movement"
is very subtle,
yet it is
essential
to proper
brain function
and over
all health.
Sometimes
your skull
loses this
normal cranial
respiratory
motion, and
actually
becomes "locked"
due to head
trauma, whiplash
injuries,
difficult
birth processes,
surgical
procedures,
etc. These
"cranial
aberrations"
produce asymmetries
in your skull
and create
unusual pressure
and torque
on certain
parts of
your brain.
This "brain
strain"
causes abnormal
nerve impulses
to be sent to
the various
muscles and
organs in
your body,
setting up
a state of
"dysfunction"
and giving
rise to various
health problems.
"Patients
usually seek CFR treatment
for such
things as
sinus conditions,
breathing
problems,
or recurrent
migraines,
and report
that other
unrelated
health problems
improve".
The most
common reported
"side
affects"
of CFR treatment
is better
breathing,
decreased
snoring,
increased
energy and
mental clarity,
improved
hearing,
better visual
acuity (especially
when reading),
and decreased
neck and
upper back
pain. Treatment
is usually
done in a
series of
four consecutive
days, with
the patient
receiving
anywhere
from one
to three
balloon inflations
each day.
Most patients
require between
4-6 series
to achieve
maximal results
from CFR treatment,
depending
on their
treatment
goals and
the severity
of their
condition. Most
people try CFR treatment
as a last
resort, and
it often
succeeds
where conventional
treatment
has failed.
"I love
these patients,
because they
have usually
given up
hope - we
often see
dramatic
improvement
in these
patients,
and we get
to witness
miracles
in our office
every day!
