Frontal head pain typically manifests as discomfort or pressure in the forehead region, often associated with sinus congestion or tension. However, distinguishing between sinus-related pain and other types of headaches is crucial, as treatments may vary.
Studies indicate that "sinus headaches" are often misdiagnosed, with many cases actually being migraines or tension-type headaches from other causes.
Cranial Facial Release (CFR): An Advanced Treatment
CFR is an Endo-nasal, Balloon-assisted cranial micro-adjusting technique designed to address various neurological and structural disorders. Developed from the Bilateral Nasal Specific (BNS) technique pioneered by Chiropractic Doctor- Dr Richard Stober in the 1960s and 1970s, CFR aims to restore normal cerebral spinal fluid flow and cranial mobility
The procedure involves the insertion of a small balloon into the nasal cavity, which is then gently inflated to mobilise cranial bones and improve overall cranial function.
Efficacy of CFR in Treating Frontal Head Pain
CFR has shown promise in alleviating various forms of head pain, including migraines and tension headaches. By addressing misalignments in the cranial bones and promoting better cerebrospinal fluid flow, CFR may reduce the intensity and frequency of headaches
Additionally, the technique has been associated with improvements in conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, and TMJ disorders, all of which can contribute to facial and head pain
