What does an evaluation include?
Your history, physical examination of your head bones by palpation of the movable joints of the head and jaw joint, recommendations for treatment to see if you may or may not be good candidate for this treatment.
How long does a treatment take?
It depends. I always schedule one hour for the first treatment. Follow up visits may take 15 to 30 minutes depending on your condition.
How many treatments are needed?
It depends on your condition. Of course, every patient wants relief fast but it depends on how long you’ve had your condition, the severity, how well the bones of your head will move, etc. After doing this procedure for over 38 years, I suggest that patients take an initial 7 visits before expecting too much change; but it might take longer. The treatments should be taken as close together as possible for best results. Once you begin to notice relief, then the frequency of treatment is stretched out until you get lasting relief and many patients will then work into some kind of maintenance schedule so either your condition doesn’t return or so we can manage it. But it is really up to you on how many treatments you want to take, or how often. I will give you my recommendations based on your condition and promise to help you as best as I can.
What does the Bilateral Nasal Specifics do?
The effects of this treatment can be incredible both from a structural and symptomatic standpoint. Recently, I have had a mute autistic girl, ages seven, talk for the first time after a treatment. Others with hearing loss have responded. It is also used for allergies, concussion, traumatic brain injury, psychiatric problems, migraines, TMJ, vertigo, sleep apnea, vision, loss of smell …the list goes on. It is indicated whenever there is cranial dysfunction or cranial faults, for example from childbirth, from a fall, from being hit in the head, etc. By no means is it a cure-all. However, patients who suffer and have tried other techniques and therapies are welcome recipients of this very powerful treatment. When indicated, it has provided relief for thousands of suffering patients.
How is this technique performed?
The technique is called the Bilateral Nasal Specifics Technique. I adjust the sphenoid bone via the nasopharynx by placing a secured finger cot on the tip of a blood pressure bulb, inserting it into the inferior, middle and superior turbinate’s of the nose, one at a time, bilaterally, inflating the finger cot one turbinate at a time. Release it, take it out, and do the same procedure again. After doing the procedure at each turbinate on both sides (which equals six inflations), the bottom pair is done again. This procedure, therefore, does eight inflations each visit. That is the way it was developed, practiced and taught by Dr. Stober. Some patients and skulls can handle two or three finger cots and more than eight inflations each visit. It just depends on the case and the patient. This is the procedure of choice in this technique. Recommended frequency is anywhere from daily or weekly until relief is achieved. Many patients continue on a maintenance basis. For anyone suffering with cognitive or intellectual disabilities, this treatment many times has proven to be very helpful.
