Cranial Facial Release in Birmingham, AL

Discover Relief with the Cranial Facial Release Technique

At Archetype, we specialize in cranial facial release, a groundbreaking therapy that restores alignment and relieves pressure in the nasal passages, facial bones, and central nervous system.

Using a gentle nasal adjustment with small balloons, this innovative cranial facial release technique improves breathing, reduces facial tension, and promotes long-term wellness.

Whether you’re struggling with sinus congestion, chronic headaches, TMJ pain, or sleep apnea, our cranial facial release chiropractor offers a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution. It’s designed to target key areas of your facial structure to provide relief from tension, sinus issues, and more.

What is Cranial Facial Release?

The cranial facial release technique (sometimes called the nasal specific technique or nasal cranial release) uses a balloon-assisted method to adjust and mobilize the bones of the face and nasal cavity.

A small balloon is gently inserted into the nasal passages and briefly inflated. This pressure shifts the sphenoid bone and surrounding facial bones, relieving restrictions that affect breathing, circulation, and even brain function.

By addressing alignment in the nasal cavity, facial muscles, and cranial bones, this therapy restores balance, reduces discomfort, and supports optimal communication within the central nervous system.

Benefits of Cranial Facial Release

Patients often experience immediate relief after a session with our cranial facial release chiropractor.

Key benefits include:

• Releases facial tension: Alleviates tightness in the jaw, forehead, and neck and shoulder regions.
• Improves breathing & sinus drainage: Clears the nasal cavity and promotes airflow, easing congestion and supporting those with sleep apnea. Stimulates circulation and drainage to reduce puffiness.
• Reduces headaches & facial pain: Helps those with migraines, chronic pain, or TMJ disorder.
• Enhances facial symmetry: Corrects imbalances in the facial structure for improved appearance and function.
• Supports brain & nervous system function: By mobilizing the sphenoid bone, the therapy can positively influence range of motion, circulation, and nervous system activity.
• Promotes long-term wellness: Regular sessions may support immune function, reduce recurring sinus issues, and improve overall chiropractic care outcomes.

How Does the Nasal Chiropractic Release Work?

During a nasal chiropractic session, our trained professional carefully inserts a small balloon into the nasal passages. The balloon is gently inflated for just a few seconds, creating controlled pressure that shifts and releases the facial and cranial bones.

This nasal release technique restores proper mobility to the bones surrounding the sinuses, forehead, and nasal cavity. Patients typically feel an immediate release of pressure, improved airflow, and reduced facial tension. The procedure is quick, precise, and performed with the utmost care.

Who Can Benefit from Cranial Facial Release?

This therapy is ideal for patients who struggle with:

• Sinus congestion or chronic sinusitis
• TMJ disorder and jaw pain
• Migraines and frequent headaches
• Sleep apnea or difficulty breathing
• Facial pain or post-trauma discomfort
• Neck and shoulder tension linked to cranial imbalances
• Reduced range of motion or nervous system interference

This therapy is also beneficial for athletes, individuals with old facial injuries, and those seeking a natural alternative to invasive treatments.
