People need to understand how NCR works. The therapist inserts a balloon into the sinuses via the nose. After careful placement, the balloon is inflated and the pressure is supposed to move the bones of the upper face/sinuses to better positions. In someone who has a facial bone structure problem, this could help. I bet there are plenty of painful results, too.

Rather than asking about NCR, I think the question should be about the individual symptoms that NCR is expected to resolve.

The NCR therapist in Palo Alto/Menlo Park is trained as an acupuncturist.

Before I let someone try to change those bones in me, I would seek out comments from an ENT or ENT/maxillo-facial surgeon. I can understand how many may need NCR to try to relieve problems created by overly aggressive orthodontists. My kids' orthodontist did his master's thesis on how the bones of the face and front of the skull can or can't move. The results of his research was that those bones are very difficult to move, especially permanently. In his research, he saw the damage done by orthodontists who are too aggressive with their attempts to move the bones of the upper jaw.
