Cranial Facial Release (CFR)


At our practice, we offer gentle, non-invasive techniques designed to alleviate tension and promote balance in the cranial and facial structures. Our skilled chiropractors use light touch and precise manipulations to address issues such as headaches, facial pain, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, helping you find relief and improve your overall well-being.

An Advanced Endo-Nasal “Balloon Assisted” Cranial Adjusting Technique

Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is an advanced endo-nasal “balloon assisted” cranial adjusting technique that can help alleviate various structural and neurological disorders. CFR is designed to mobilize the cranial bones, unlock cranial fixations, open breathing passageways, facilitate cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flow, increase vascular flow to the cranium, and optimize brain function. By addressing these underlying issues, CFR can often improve symptoms related to a wide range of conditions.

Expertise in CFR Technique

At our practice, Dr. Noriega is one of the few doctors certified in CFR Technique. To become qualified in this specialized procedure, CFR doctors must undergo extensive post-graduate training. This ensures that our patients receive the highest level of care and expertise when undergoing CFR treatment.

Comprehensive Approach to Treatment

It’s important to note that CFR is not directed at the treatment of any one specific disease or disorder. Instead, its primary objective is to optimize overall cranial function and health. By taking a comprehensive approach to treatment, CFR can help improve a wide range of symptoms and conditions, including:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Jaw pain and TMJ disorders
  • Sinus issues and breathing difficulties
  • Vertigo and dizziness
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
  • And more

Personalized Care and Consultation

Before performing CFR Technique, Dr. Noriega requires a free 10-minute consultation. This consultation serves three important purposes:

  1. To determine if you are a proper candidate for treatment
  2. To describe what to expect during treatment
  3. To answer any questions you may have

By taking the time to understand your unique needs and concerns, we can ensure that you receive the most appropriate and effective care possible.

  • FAQ

  • What is Cranial Facial Release?

    Cranial facial release (CFR) is an advanced endo-nasal cranial adjusting technique that has been used quite successfully in the treatment of various neurological and structural disorders.
  • How does CFR Work?

    It is important to realize that the skull is NOT one solid bone. It is made up of 22 individual bones that actually move every time you breathe, or at least they’re supposed to. The objective of CFR is to mobilize the bones in the face and cranium and to open the breathing passageways with the purpose of mobilizing the cranial bones and facilitating normal cranial function. CFR is performed by inserting a tiny balloon in the nose (nasopharynx) then quickly inflating them to mobilize the bones of the face and cranium. It feels very similar to the sensation experienced when jumping into a swimming pool and having water shoot up your nose. However, the whole procedure takes about 2 to 3 seconds, and consists of a series of about 4 treatments over a 7-10 day span.
  • How Do I Know if CFR is right for me? 

    Most people who come in for CFR are often last resort patients who have tried everything else first. CFR often succeeds where other forms of conventional treatment have failed. Schedule your consultation here.
