caroline2,
Nasal release therapy is not generally used for allergy/sinus issues. It is brought up here because for some, their concussion may have caused a structural change in the sinus bones. That is the premise of Nasal Release Therapy as it relates to concussions.
The posts on this forum pertain to Post Concussion because most Post Concussion symptoms do not have a cross over to other maladies. Confusing the question posted here with non-concussion experiences is counter to the specific needs of the poster.
barnburner,
I would be concerned about the experience level of a NUCCA chiro who does NRT infrequently. I don't think there is an 'undo' process if the NRT causes new issues. Finding a specialist who has more knowledge of those bone structures would be important in my view.
But, I would not be willing to try it if it is just a 'Try this and see if it helps.' There is too much risk of injury. Absent a stronger reason to do it, I would pass. Plus, it is an expensive 'shot in the dark.'
There have been no studies that show any of these techniques to be medically necessary or beneficial. It would be reassuring to see some serious research.
From a purely anatomical viewpoint, I struggle to understand how concussions can cause a sinus bone issue except in very limited circumstances. Even when the sinus bones are moved, how can this cause concussion symptoms ? The brain is a very moldable organ.
