Cranial Facial Release in Taylor

What Conditions Can Cranial Facial Release Help?

CFR is believed to help relieve a wide range of conditions, including sinusitis, migraines, facial pain, sleep apnea, concussions, and brain trauma. It’s also used for TMJ, jaw pain, or jaw deviation, since when the jaw deviates, the skull often compensates. CFR may help patients who clench or grind their teeth, struggle with breathing disorders, or have a deviated septum, which doesn’t change outward cosmetic appearance but can meaningfully improve breathing. In general, anything the brain controls has the potential to benefit from CFR.

Patient Testimonials

Many of our patients say they can breathe freely for the first time ever, or for the first time in years. One patient’s dysesthesia, also known as glossodynia or burning mouth syndrome, was relieved after years of suffering.

Webber shared: “From the time I was little I suffered from a deviated septum. It affected my breathing, sleep, and eating. My parents always had a trash can beside my chair at the kitchen table because I would throw up at every meal. I didn’t find Dr. Cindy until I was 18 years old. I didn’t know Cranial Facial Release existed until then. After a few sessions of CFR I could eat and not throw up. I could breathe easily and effortlessly.”

Key Targets of Cranial Facial Release

CFR is designed to open breathing passageways, mobilize the cranial bones through sutural correction, unlock cranial fixations, and correct cranial aberrations through meningeal correction. It also aims to facilitate cerebral spinal fluid flow, improve vascular flow to the brain, increase venous drainage through the superior and inferior sagittal sinus, and boost lymphatic drainage from the cranium. Many patients seek CFR to optimize brain and endocrine function, and to address vertigo, trigeminal neuralgia, snoring, learning disorders, and other neurological concerns. Some patients also notice improvement in hearing, tinnitus, and vision.

What Is Cranial Facial Release, Technically?

CFR is an advanced form of balloon-assisted cranial adjusting that uses tiny balloons carefully inserted into the nasopharynx and briefly inflated to open breathing passageways, unlock cranial fixations, and mobilize the bones of the face and skull.

Before Your Appointment

We require a cranial X-ray before performing CFR. If you currently have a broken nose, you’ll need to wait until it has fully healed before scheduling this treatment.

CFR often pairs well with our quantum neurology and TMJ treatment services. Explore our full range of services or call (512) 626-2332 to schedule an appointment.
