A number of years ago, I developed TMJ and was in constant pain everyday. My mother had this same issue and after 5 different surgeries, she ended up unable to eat solid food. Not wanting to follow in her footsteps, I looked for alternative treatments. After some time, I found this little known therapy and after 4 days of treatments was able to reduce my pain and return my jaw to a much improved function. This treatment is only practiced by a handful of trained individuals, but if your struggling with certain conditions, this treatment may be your best option before turning to medical treatments.
So what is this therapy and what can it treat? This article from the drdeanhowell.com, who is the creator of the treatment ,explains the basics:
What is NeuroCranial Restructuring?
“NeuroCranial Restructuring is the newest and most powerful therapy in physical medicine. NeuroCranial Restructuring is a cumulative treatment process involving controlled release of the connective tissue tension to unwind the body and return it toward its original design. NeuroCranial Restructuring utilizes careful analysis of the body’s proprioception (patterns of balance) to determine the precise areas of the skull needing to be unlocked during each day’s treatment.
This sounds very complex, but in practice it is relatively simple:
After receiving a form of deep muscle massage and external cranial manipulation, the patient is analyzed to determine the cranial treatment pattern for the day. Then the patient is positioned on a treatment table with one or two therapists helping to hold him/her in a very specific position. The skull is finally released by the action of small, inflatable endonasal balloons that are inserted through the nostril and inflated briefly into the throat. The inflation feels like getting water up the nose and rarely requires five seconds to complete.
Endonasal balloons in treatment are not new. They have been used during cranial therapy for over seventy years. Frequently these treatments, such as Bilateral Nasal Specific therapy, gave relief of symptoms and some long-term results while using a generalized pattern of treatment. Many of the results, however, were temporary and the treatment was frequently painful.”
