Cranial Facial Release

Cranial facial release (CFR) is a technique that is used to help with a variety of neurological or structural disorders. Patients that have been diagnosed with some of these conditions may be good candidates for CFR.
 

• Seizures

• Bell’s Palsy

• Breathing Disorders

• Sinusitis

• Migraines

• Vertigo

• Sleep Apnea

• Post-Concussion Syndrome

• Snoring

CFR works by inserting small balloons inside of the nasal cavity and quickly inflating them. This technique is designed to unlock cranial fixations or induce mobility in the cranial systems.
 

How it Works

First, it’s important to understand that our skulls are not made of a single solid bone — especially the bones that surround our breathing passageways. These bones are designed to move as we breathe to allow for an increased amount of air to enter our lungs. When these bones don’t move normally, they can cause a variety of issues that are related to breathing or even our neurological functions.

The CFR process is designed to free the bones and allow them to begin moving again. This restores normal function to them and can reduce issues that patients are experiencing.
 

Treatment

The actual process of CFR may vary so you should discuss options with your medical professional. However, many patients will find that treatment takes place on four days scheduled within seven-ten days. The actual process of inflating the balloons takes less than three seconds.

Many patients feel that the procedure feels like having water shoot up your nose but don’t report that there is any pain. CFR is a procedure that does not require an overnight stay in the hospital or long-term observation.
 

CFR Patients

CFR patients have typically tried many different options to help relieve the effects of their condition. CFR has been shown to not only improve many of the conditions listed above, but it is also a very cost-effective method. This becomes more apparent when you compare it to potential surgeries and recovery times.
 

While there is no typical patient, CFR has been successfully practiced on patients of all different ages. Seniors are often treated for many of their conditions that may be associated with advanced age. On the other end of the spectrum, CFR has been used to help infants that are experiencing a wide range of problems. Adults and teenagers have also seen a reduction in the effects of many of the previously listed conditions with CFR treatment.
 

Amazing Successes

Dr. Stober, one of the pioneers of CFR utilized this technique in order to help children with Down’s Syndrome. One of the children that he helped was David Jones. Mr. Jones was treated with the BNS (Bilateral Nasal Specific) method of CFR. His care began in his childhood and continued when he was a young man. David attributes his treatments to an increase in cognitive ability. This also allowed him to live independently and attend college. While attending college, he earned not just one, but two college degrees. He felt so strongly about the benefits of this technique that he continued to educate others about its use.
 

Gaining Success

The CFR method increased in popularity when it was featured on the E-Channel and Celebrity News Magazine. Many patients have started asking for this treatment and try to understand more about it.
