Functional Cranial Release
Definition of FCR: “The method of improving biomechanics of the cranium and the release of connective tissue restrictions in order to improve oxygenation and circulation of nutrients in and around the central nervous system with the use of finger cots through the nasal passage which utilize expansive pressures.”
FCR (aka Bilateral nasal specific, endonasal cranial therapy) adjustments using endonasal balloons is a specialized chiropractic technique designed to improve nasal passage alignment, optimize breathing, and enhance overall cranial function. This non-invasive procedure involves gently inserting small, inflatable balloons into the nasal passages, which are then briefly inflated to mobilize and adjust the bones of the skull, particularly the nasal, maxillary, and other facial bones.

What does a Functional Cranial Release Treatment look like?
Functional neurological exams through muscle and balance testing are performed to determine patient positioning and the proper nasal canal in which to insert the balloons. These balloons, when inflated for a few seconds, apply targeted pressure to the surrounding bones. This gentle adjustment helps restore proper alignment and function to the cranial and facial bones, which may have become misaligned due to injury, trauma, or chronic structural issues.
This technique also restores proper CSF flow, which can help with memory, cognition and brain fog by facilitating the removal of waste products. The technique is painless, quick, and highly effective for addressing a range of health concerns. Each session may involve soft tissue manipulations of the jaw, neck and cranium, chiropractic manipulation of the spinal bones and BrainTap to balance the autonomic nervous system.
