Nasal Release Technique in West Des Moines, IA

Struggling with chronic sinus pressure, migraines, or post-concussion symptoms? The discomfort can be frustrating, affecting your breathing, focus, and overall well-being.

This innovative approach, developed by Dr. J. R. Stober of Portland, works by gently adjusting the bones in your skull through your nasal passages.

A small, soft balloon is carefully inserted into the nasal passage and momentarily inflated, applying just enough pressure to realign the sphenoid bone and other key structures.

The result? Immediate relief from built-up sinus pressure, improved airflow, and restored cranial balance.

By precisely adjusting the sutures—the areas where skull bones meet—this technique helps reduce tension, relieve headaches, and promote better overall function.

It is especially beneficial for those dealing with chronic sinus issues, breathing difficulties, TMJ discomfort, or lingering post-concussion effects.

The Nasal Release Technique is widely recognized under different names due to its effectiveness and long-standing use. You may also hear it called:

Regardless of the name, the goal remains the same—to provide lasting relief by restoring natural nasal function and helping patients in West Des Moines, IA, and surrounding areas breathe, heal, and feel better.

Why Timely Treatment Matters

The Nasal Release Technique goes beyond simple adjustments. Untreated concussions can lead to various debilitating symptoms, increased pain, and a longer recovery process. This therapy holds particular significance for athletes, military personnel, and individuals in professions vulnerable to head injuries. Prompt intervention with this can be a game-changer.

Understanding Nasal Release Technique

Our bodies are finely tuned systems always seeking balance. When concussions or birth traumas occur, they can disrupt the alignment of the skull’s bones. This misalignment can result in poor posture, breathing difficulties, pain, and even depression. This Technique realigns these bones, optimizing neurotransmitter activity throughout the Central Nervous System.

What to Expect

The Nasal Release Technique is a gentle and non-invasive procedure. It involves a finger cot attached to a blood pressure bulb, which is carefully inserted into the nasal passages. Lubrication ensures your comfort. As the bulb inflates the cot, you may feel gentle pressure in the nose and inside the head. This process is repeated in different nasal sections for balance and maximum effectiveness.
