Are you tired of ongoing symptoms?
Headaches, migraines, head pressure, blocked nasal breathing or symptoms that persist after concussion?
Have you seen multiple practitioners or tried different approaches, but the symptoms keep returning?
NasalRx takes a distinctive internal approach to cranial and facial restrictions through controlled endo-nasal inflation. This advanced procedure focuses on subtle structural restrictions and their relationship to persistent head pain, migraines, post-concussion symptoms and nasal breathing problems. In our clinical experience, we have observed substantial improvements, including for patients whose symptoms have persisted despite trying multiple other approaches.
Ask us about the approach, the evidence and whether an assessment could be suitable for you.

Your experience
Does this sound familiar?
You may have tried several approaches already. Perhaps treatment helps for a while, but the symptoms return. Perhaps breathing through your nose has felt restricted for so long that it now seems normal.
Still experiencing these symptoms after trying different approaches? Discover NasalRx, new to New Zealand.
Our deeper structural approach focuses on addressing cranial and facial restrictions in people with migraines, head pain, persistent post-concussion symptoms, sinus problems and restricted nasal breathing.
In our clinical practice, we have documented cases showing improvements in septal alignment following NasalRx treatment.

Our approach
A new approach to resolving persistent symptoms
NasalRx targets proposed deeper structural contributors within the head and face. This approach may be worth discussing when previous care has brought only partial or temporary improvement.
We review your symptoms and previous treatment, assess your nasal airway, jaw and neck, and explain whether NasalRx is suitable for you.
Different symptoms can have different causes. We discuss the evidence, potential benefits and risks before you decide on treatment.
Understanding NasalRx
What is NasalRx?
NasalRx is an endonasal technique: treatment is delivered through the nasal passages using brief, controlled inflation.
Our approach is designed to influence movement and mechanical restriction within the cranial and facial system. It brings an internal treatment approach to structures that we also assess through external examination.
We explain the procedure, discuss suitability and answer your questions before treatment. Your previous injuries, surgery, medication use and individual health circumstances form part of that discussion.
Your progress
Focused on lasting change
Our aim is clear: easier nasal breathing, less head and facial pressure, fewer disruptive headaches, and greater comfort through the jaw and neck.
Your symptoms set the priorities. We assess, treat where appropriate and reassess. Your reported changes and our physical findings guide the next step.
A treatment course commonly involves six NasalRx sessions, with progress reviewed throughout. The plan is discussed following your individual assessment.

Before you book
Questions before you book?
Yes. The assessment-only appointment gives you time to discuss your symptoms, understand the findings and consider your options before deciding on treatment.
Yes. Previous nasal or sinus surgery, medication use and other treatment are relevant parts of your history. We consider what those approaches achieved and what symptoms remain.
The clearest sign is a significant improvement in your symptoms as you progress through the six-treatment NasalRx protocol. We review these changes with you alongside physical reassessment, tracking progress against the symptoms and goals that brought you to Cranial Solutions.
Our condition pages explain the clinical approach in more detail. The NasalRx guide covers the procedure, while our safety and research pages provide further information for those who would like to explore it.
