What Does “Endo-Nasal Cranial Adjusting” Mean? Understanding CFR’s Technique

Greg Muchnij • November 16, 2025

When you first hear the term “endo-nasal cranial adjusting,” it might sound intimidating, maybe even a little strange. But the truth is, this innovative technique—also known as Cranial Facial Release (CFR)—has been changing lives for people who struggle with chronic headaches, migraines, sinus issues, breathing problems, and even post-concussion symptoms.


At My Chiropractor Health and Wellness Center in Phoenix, AZ, we’ve been helping patients experience real, lasting relief through gentle and precise endo-nasal cranial adjusting. Let’s break down what it really means, how it works, and why it may be the solution you’ve been searching for.

What is Endo-Nasal Cranial Adjusting?

Endo-nasal cranial adjusting is a specialized chiropractic technique designed to restore normal mobility and function to the bones of your skull and facial region. It involves using small, carefully placed balloons inside the nasal passageways. These balloons are gently inflated for just a few seconds, which helps unlock restrictions and improve cranial motion.


Think of it as a way to “reset” the natural alignment and movement of your cranial system—helping to restore balance to areas often linked to headaches, sinus blockages, and neurological stress.



At our Phoenix clinic, we use Cranial Facial Release (CFR), a refined and advanced version of this method that goes beyond traditional chiropractic adjustments to target issues that many patients thought they’d have to “just live with.”

How Does CFR Work? The Technique Explained

Here’s what happens during a typical CFR session at our clinic:


  1. Gentle Preparation – We start by making sure you’re comfortable and relaxed. Patients are often surprised at how simple the process feels once it begins.
  2. Precise Balloon Placement – A small, medical-grade balloon is positioned into one of the nasal passages.
  3. Quick Inflation – The balloon is gently inflated for a second or two, then immediately removed. This opens up the breathing passageways and improves cranial bone mobility.
  4. Multiple Passages – The process may be repeated in different areas of the nose to achieve a balanced correction.



While it may sound unusual, most patients report that the procedure feels like a quick release of pressure—similar to the sensation of blowing your nose or adjusting to altitude changes.

Conditions CFR Can Help With

Because CFR works directly with cranial function and breathing pathways, it can help address a wide variety of conditions, including:


  • Chronic migraines and headaches
  • Sinus congestion and breathing difficulties
  • Post-concussion symptoms
  • TMJ pain and jaw dysfunction
  • Snoring and sleep-related issues
  • Neck and facial pain
  • Focus and cognitive clarity problems


According to the Migraine Research Foundation, migraines are the third most prevalent illness in the world. Many patients who come to us have tried countless medications and therapies without long-term relief—until they discover CFR.


By improving cranial motion and clearing blocked airways, endo-nasal cranial adjusting addresses the root cause of many stubborn issues rather than simply masking the symptoms.
