What is Endonasal Balloon Therapy?
Endonasal Balloon Therapy is an advanced cranial chiropractic adjustment that uses a small medical balloon to gently mobilize the bones of the skull and face. Similar to the way spinal joints can lock and restrict movement, the cranial sutures — especially the sphenobasilar junction, maxillary-zygoma, and the deep endonasal bones — are prone to restriction from head trauma, whiplash, sports injuries, and even the birthing process.
By restoring cranial rhythm — the natural rhythmic expansion and contraction of the cranial and facial bones — EBT simultaneously reduces dural meningeal stress on the brain and central nervous system, improves cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, and opens the nasal passages to allow proper sinus and eustachian tube drainage.
It is a holistic, non-invasive procedure that addresses the cause, not just the symptoms. No surgery. No drugs.
