@drdavidabbasi: They pushed a balloon through his nose… and it inflated in the back of his throat. 😳🩻 What you're watching is Cranial Facial Release — a procedure where a small balloon is inserted through the nasal passage, guided all the way back into the nasopharynx, and rapidly inflated to mobilize the bones of the face and skull. The skull is not one solid bone. It's made up of 22 individual bones connected by sutures that can become compressed or restricted after trauma, injury, or chronic tension. The balloon inflation creates a brief but forceful pressure event that targets those cranial sutures — particularly the sphenoid bone, which sits at the base of the skull and influences nearly everything around it. It takes about two seconds. It looks terrifying. And patients consistently describe it not as pain but as an overwhelming pressure sensation that releases immediately after. The face and skull have more mobility than most people realize. Sometimes it just needs a very aggressive reminder. 💨 ✅Follow @drdavidabbasi for More Daily Medical Content & Health Tips!🌴😷Schedule a consultation in Delray Beach! Visit www.primeorthocenter.com
