What is NRC?

NeuroCranial Restructuring™ is the newest and most powerful therapy in physical medicine. NCR is a cumulative manipulation process involving controlled release of the body’s connective tissue and meningeal tensions -- resulting from traumas -- to unwind the body and its bony structures and return it to its original and optimal design. NCR utilizes careful analysis of the body’s proprioception (patterns of balance) to determine the precise areas of the skull needing to be unlocked during each day’s treatment. The skull is actually moved by the action of small, inflatable endonasal balloons that are inserted through the nostril and inflated briefly into the throat. An NCR series consists of four treatments given on consecutive days. Each case is evaluated individually for optimal long-term outcome. Repeat treatment series are usually scheduled one month apart.
With the addition of careful body positioning to increase the tension in the meninges and other connective tissues, the entire skeletal structure can be permanently changed with this kind of skull manipulation. This unlocking of the connective tissues’ residual tension combined with precise movements of the cranial bones allow the structural systems of the body to move incrementally and cumulatively towards the body’s original design.
This sounds very complex, but in practice it is relatively simple:
First, the patient receives customized NCR bodywork. This includes the limbs, abdomen, back and head. Next, the patient is specifically assessed to determine the cranial treatment pattern for the day. Then the patient is precisely positioned on the therapy table with the help of an assistant, including the support of pelvic wedges and a cranial pillow, for optimal treatment results and greater patient comfort. Then a small "endonasal" balloon is inserted into the nostril, briefly inflated, and quickly removed. Many patients describe the balloon pressure sensation as similar to getting water up their nose when jumping into a pool. Finally, a recheck verifies that the treatment results have been achieved for that day. The total time for treatment is 30 to 40 minutes. "Endonasal" balloons in treatment are not new. They have been a valuable tool in practice since the early 1930s.

WHAT CONDITIONS DOES NCR HELP?
NCR creates incremental, cumulative, permanent structural changes to reverse the effects of traumatic events on the body. Birth trauma, accidents and falls, sports injuries, medical procedures, severe emotional and biochemical traumas are just some of the causes of musculoskeletal damage that are released with NCR. NCR helps the following conditions (and more) because they all have either a structural cause or a significant structural component:
Acute and chronic ostitis media
Alzheimer's Disease
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Anxiety and nervousness
Arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism,
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
Autism
Bipolar Disorder
Brain surgery
Bruxism

Wrinkles – Facial reconstruction without the surgery
Doctor Dean Howell created NCR, NeuroCranial Restructuring, to help patients get pain relief, achieve facial symmetry, fix crooked noses, create a youthful appearance without plastic surgery, improve sports performance, heal head injuries like concussion, whiplash and facial compression, eliminate snoring, improve sleep apnea, abolish headaches, eliminate migraines, correct scoliosis, fix TMJ and TMD problems, straighten posture, increase memory and look younger by gently moving the sphenoid bone.
Everyone can benefit from NCR. It is rare to find a perfect skull and spine, therefore, treatment is useful for everybody even though they may not be presenting signs, symptoms or complaints.
