NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) at Cranial Solutions: A New Option for Chronic Headaches, Migraines, Concussion, Sinus & Breathing Issues

Cranial Solutions - Conditions of the Head

Introduction: A Fresh Direction in Cranial Care

For many NZers, chronic headaches, ongoing migraines, post-concussion problems, sinus congestion, and nasal breathing difficulties can become a part of daily life. Standard options often provide only short-term relief, leaving many searching for something different.

At Cranial Solutions Christchurch and Auckland patients now have access to NasalRX - a cranial and facial alignment procedure available exclusively at our clinics. NasalRX represents a new chapter in our work (previously offered under Headache & Tendon), continuing the same dedication to musculoskeletal and cranial care with an advanced procedure that many patients describe as transformational.

Understanding the Link: Headaches, Breathing & Structural Imbalances

Chronic Headaches & Migraines

Tension in the neck, cranial restrictions, and poor musculoskeletal balance can all contribute to chronic headaches or trigger migraines. When cranial structures are not moving freely, pressure builds on nerves, vessels, and soft tissues -resulting in recurrent pain.

Concussion-Related Symptoms

After a concussion, lingering and developing issues such as headaches, fogginess, fatigue, neurological issues and ongoing sensitivity to light may persist long after initial recovery. This often stems from unresolved cranial restrictions following trauma.

Nasal Breathing & Sinus Congestion

Nasal breathing issues and sinus congestion are more than inconveniences. They can lead to mouth breathing, poor sleep, snoring, and reduced oxygenation. Subtle changes in internal cranial alignment can influence airflow dramatically.

TMJ & Jaw Discomfort

Jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction are often linked to cranial imbalances. If the structures of the face and skull remain tight, the jaw cannot function smoothly, contributing to headaches and tension.

What Is NasalRX?

NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) is a cranial and facial procedure that works internally, through the nasal passage, using a precise inflation-assisted technique. Patients often describe:

• Significiant change and successful relief from long-standing headache and migraine patterns.

• Clearer nasal breathing and significantly reduced to resolved congestion.

• Improved recovery of all symptoms after concussion.

• A restoration in jaw comfort and muscle tension recovery.

The approach is distinctive because it addresses cranial alignment in a way that external therapies cannot reach.

Why People Seek Out NasalRX

Many who come to Cranial Solutions Christchurch and Auckland have tried drug care/ surgery already: pain relief medications, physiotherapy, massage, breathing aids, laser & Osteopathy. For some, these provide temporary improvement. For others, the problems return or never fully settle due to the fact that most of these issues are internally related to structural alignment - determined by full symptom recovery in most cases after a course of procedures.

Patients often describe NasalRX as the first option that made a lasting difference for their chronic migraines, post-concussion symptoms, or persistent sinus blockages - this is not miraculous rather its finding cause and treating appropriately..

Conditions Commonly Supported at Cranial Solutions

• Chronic Headaches: Especially those linked to neck and cranial tension.

• Chronic Migraines: Patients frequently report fewer and less intense episodes after treatment.

• Concussion: Addressing lingering cranial restrictions often reduces ongoing post-concussion symptoms.

What to Expect During the Procedure

3. Noticeable Shifts - many people comment on immediate changes: lighter head sensation, clearer sinuses, or reduced pressure.
