Thanks for the topic. There's only one person I could get a ride to in the Bay Area that does this.

Dr. Miyashita in Palo Alto, CA. He doesn't even do e-mail.

$500 or so, but if it works, it means I'm not just waiting for release from pain or death. 20 months of chronic pain is wearing me down.

Then again, that's what the crooks might be banking on.

Suckers looking for relief.

That is why I must trust in God alone. The world is filled with uncertainty.

I'm always afraid stuff like this could make me worse.

I have a fear that instead of relieving pressure on my frontal lobe, it will add pressure to it.

i got NCR done to help my bite after some awful orthodontics in high school (TMJ, lopsided face, one side couldnt show expression) and i'm really happy with it! bonuses include vivid dreams, 1.5" height increase, faster recovery from sports/dance injuries.

i train hard so i go in once every two months for tune ups.

dr. musich in morgan hill is awesome.

FYI,

Morgan Hill is about 20 miles south of San Jose, California.

bumping this because I'm interested in hearing if anyone else has anything new to report on this topic

$500 for the whole treatment?

That's actually the cheapest I've heard.

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.
