If you’ve been dealing with chronic sinus pressure, headaches, post-concussion symptoms, or jaw dysfunction, Cranio Facial Release (CFR) might be the therapy you’ve been searching for. At Mod Doc, we incorporate CFR as part of our whole-person approach.

What Is Cranio Facial Release?

Cranio Facial Release is an advanced technique that targets the bones and tissues of the skull, face, and upper airway. It involves gently inserting small, specialized balloons into the nasal passages and briefly inflating them to mobilize cranial structures and enhance sinus drainage, circulation, and neurological flow.

Though it may sound unconventional, this therapy is based on the principles of cranial biomechanics and is gaining popularity among athletes, chronic pain sufferers, and individuals with structural imbalances affecting breathing, cognition, or posture.

Benefits of CFR Include:

  • Reduction in sinus pressure and congestion

  • Relief from chronic headaches and migraines

  • Enhanced breathing and airway function

  • Improved TMJ and jaw alignment

  • Neurological reset for post-concussion and trauma recovery

  • Better balance, posture, and nervous system regulation

Why We Perform CFR at Mod Doc

Mod Doc’s integrated approach combines structural therapies with functional diagnostics to support total-body healing. CFR fits perfectly within that philosophy—it doesn’t just treat symptoms, it restores flow and function.

For patients who have tried medications, CPAP, or even surgery without success, CFR offers a gentle, non-invasive alternative. We often pair CFR with manual therapy, breathwork, or energy work depending on your individual needs.

What to Expect During Treatment

CFR sessions are quick, lasting around 15–20 minutes. Most patients report feeling a sense of release, clarity, and improved nasal airflow right away. A series of treatments over several visits may be recommended for lasting results.

Is It Right for You?

We typically recommend CFR for patients dealing with sinus dysfunction, sleep apnea symptoms, facial trauma, jaw misalignment, or post-concussion syndrome. If you're unsure, schedule a consult and we’ll perform a full evaluation to determine if CFR is a good fit for your care plan.
