Bilateral Nasal Specific
CFR was developed from the earlier Bilateral Nasal Specific (BNS) technique, pioneered by chiropractor Dr. Richard Stober, the godfather of cranial ballooning, in the 1960s and 1970s.
Craniofacial Release is a balloon-assisted endonasal cranial adjusting technique that incorporates the use of tiny balloons that are carefully inserted in the nose and quickly inflated to open up the breathing passageways and mobilize the bones of the face and cranium, with the intention of optimizing brain function and airflow.
The primary objective of CFR is to open up the breathing passages and induce mobility in the cranial system (specifically the sphenoid bone) with the purpose of optimizing brain function and facilitating normal cerebral spinal fluid flow.
The technique is performed by inserting tiny balloons in the nose (specifically the naso-pharynx) then quickly inflating to mobilize the bones of the face and cranium. The procedure lasts only a few seconds and is not considered painful, but more described as increased pressure inside your face.

Dr. Adam J. Del Torto, DC refined the original BNS work into Cranial Facial Release, a method that is more specific in its targeting and less intimidating for the patient.
CFR is now practiced and taught worldwide, with certified providers across the United States, Europe, and beyond, making the technique available on a global level.
Dr. Adam J Del Torto, BS, DC is a 1984 graduate of New York Chiropractic College. He is the founder and developer of Cranial Facial Release (CFR), and has spent his career refining and teaching the technique to doctors worldwide.
His work has been featured on the E-Channel, Celebrity News Magazine, and The Randy Alvarez "Wellness Hour." He is credentialed as a postgraduate instructor through chiropractic universities.
