About Nasal Specific
Nasal Specific is a controlled non-surgical approach and technique that works to expand the air way and open up the sinuses. It has been an incredible tool for people with sinus complaints, headaches, and cranial issues that are not responding to other techniques. It can be incredibly relieving for chronic suffering caused by frequent sinus infections.
Nasal Specific uses a small balloon or finger cot to deliver an even and effective controlled force of pressure. The finger cot portion of this device is lubricated. The finger cot is inserted into one of the six nasal passages (three on each side). These nasal passages are stair stacked on top of each other. The finger cot/balloon is first inserted into the lower nasal passageways, one on each sides of the nose. This is done to keep facial, pressure, and symmetrical balance and optimize the benefits of this technique. It is then repeated in the middle passageways, then the top passageway.
The balloon is gently tucked in around the outer edges of the nostril to ensure that no outward bulging of the balloon occurs when it is inflated. The nose is lightly compressed around the valve of the pressure bulb, so that no air can escape. The patient then takes a deep breath in and holds it. By taking the breath in it expands the joints/membranes of the cranial plates. While the patient is holding their breath the practitioner quickly and gently inflates the finger cot/balloon with two to four quick hand pumps/squeezes of the pressure bulb. Squeezing the pressure bulb applies air into the finger cot/balloon. As this air pressure becomes greater it pushes on the walls of the nasal passageways, eventually it squeezes its way through to the back of the throat. The practitioner then quickly releases this pressure via the stem on the valve of the pressure bulb. This process takes one to three seconds. The whole procedure usually takes less than a few minutes.
