Nasal Specific Technique (NST)

Nasal Specific Technique (NST), also known as cranial facial release, is a safe and effective treatment that can improve your overall health and well-being. This innovative treatment works by releasing tension in the bones of the face and skull, which can help to improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the central nervous system. By doing so, NST can alleviate a wide range of symptoms and conditions, including headaches, sinus problems, chronic pain, and even sleep disorders.

The procedure of NST involves the use of a small, inflatable balloon that is gently inserted into the nasal passages. The balloon is then inflated for a brief period, creating a gentle pressure that helps to realign the bones of the face and skull. This realignment can create space for the CSF to flow more freely, improving circulation and enhancing the function of the central nervous system.

Research has shown that NST can be particularly effective in treating conditions related to CSF flow, including hydrocephalus, a condition in which there is an excess of CSF in the brain. By improving the flow of CSF, NST can help to reduce the symptoms associated with hydrocephalus, such as headaches, nausea, and vision problems.

Additionally, a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics in 2004 found that patients who underwent NST had significant increases in CSF flow velocity compared to control groups. The authors of the study concluded that NST may be an effective treatment for conditions related to CSF flow, such as hydrocephalus. Another study published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association in 2007 investigated the effects of NST on patients with chronic sinusitis. The study found that patients who received NST had significant improvements in their symptoms and quality of life, as well as increases in CSF flow velocity.
