Cranial Facial Release (CFR), a groundbreaking technique employed by Dr. Melissa, a seasoned chiropractor at Life Chiropractic in Oakland, has been transforming lives one patient at a time. Renowned for its profound impact on various health conditions, CFR is at the forefront of holistic healing. But what exactly is this technique, and how does it work? Let's delve into the science behind CFR, as illuminated by a real-life case study from Dr. Melissa’s practice.
Cranial Facial Release is a specialized technique involving the insertion of tiny balloons into the nasal passages, which are then quickly inflated and deflated. This process aims to open up the breathing passages and adjust the bones of the face and cranial vault.
There are 22 bones in the skull and they are all supposed to move to facilitate the flow and production of cerebrospinal fluid, the passage of air and impacts the overall health and functionality of the central nervous system. The Technique was developed in the 1930’s by a man named Dr Stober who was a chiropractor as well as a naturopath.
Case studies have indicated that CFR can be instrumental in addressing various conditions, such as sinusitis, sleep apnea, headaches, loss of smell and certain neurological disorders. The technique works by enhancing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid to the brain, optimizing the function of the autonomic nervous system, and improving overall structural and functional integrity.
Meet Marco, a long time chiropractic patient who was “diagnosed” with undefined facial pain for over 10 years, he described it as the feeling of an ice pick between his eyes. He underwent a series of CFR and the pain was relieved completely. He comes in for a cranial tune-up approximately once a year or every two years, and this has been his routine for the last five years.
Meet Allyn! Suffering from severe constant disequilibrium vertigo- she felt like she was on a rocking boat all the time. She is well versed in holistic healing techniques but cranial facial release was the first thing that brought her lasting relief.
These cases are not isolated instances. Numerous patients have experienced similar transformative results with CFR, substantiating its efficacy in addressing various health concerns.
From Dr. Melissa’s chiropractic lens, CFR is not merely a technique; it’s a holistic approach to enhancing overall well-being. Chiropractic aligns the bones of the spine removing any interference between the communication and function of the nervous system - the brain body connection. CFR is an extension of this by getting the cranial bones aligned and moving properly. The alignment and optimal functioning of the cranial bones are pivotal for maintaining the balance and functionality of the spine and nervous system. By addressing issues at the cranial level, CFR indirectly fosters spinal health and, consequently, the health of the entire body.
In the tranquil spaces of Life Chiropractic, Dr. Melissa continues to illuminate the path of holistic healing for numerous individuals, with CFR being one of the potent tools in her arsenal.
