Stop Snoring, TMJ Pain & Brain Fog Naturally with Nasal Release Technique

If you struggle with snoring, chronic headaches, brain fog, TMJ pain, or mouth breathing, the root cause may not be where you think. Many of these symptoms stem from restricted nasal airflow and cranial tension — issues that traditional treatments often overlook.

The Nasal Release Technique (NRT) is a gentle, non-surgical therapy designed to restore optimal breathing, cranial balance, and nervous system function. Patients frequently report dramatic improvements in sleep, focus, jaw comfort, and overall quality of life.

What Is the Nasal Release Technique (NRT)?

NRT is a holistic therapy provided by specially trained healthcare providers that relieves pressure within the cranial cavity and corrects structural imbalances. Think of it as creating more space behind the nose so air can flow freely.

By releasing restrictions in the deeper cranial bones and nasal structures, NRT supports optimal brain and body function, starting with healthy nasal breathing.

How NRT Improves Breathing and Stops Snoring

Restricted nasal passages often lead to mouth breathing, poor sleep oxygenation, dry mouth, and airway collapse. NRT gently opens the key nasal spaces (nasal meatuses) that warm, humidify, filter, and drain air. When these pathways open, breathing becomes more efficient.

Patients who have received NRT commonly report:

• No longer needing nasal strips at night

• Sleeping through the night with their mouth closed

• Reduced or eliminated snoring

• Being able to comfortably share a bed again with their partner or no longer getting elbowed in the night by their partner 😉

Relief for Headaches, Brain Fog, and Concussion Symptoms

Cranial tension can impair circulation and nervous system function, contributing to headaches and mental fatigue.

By releasing these restrictions, NRT may help you experience:

• Fewer headaches or migraines

• Clearer thinking and better focus

• Reduced post-concussion symptoms

• More energy and mental stamina

Many patients describe a “lighter,” clearer feeling in their head.

How NRT Helps TMJ Pain

The function of the TMJ is closely related to restriction of the airway by way of tongue posture and cranial bone alignment. When nasal breathing improves and tension decreases, the jaw can finally relax and function improves.

This may reduce:

• TMJ pain and clicking

• Clenching or grinding

• Facial tension

• Bite pressure

Especially helpful for those with tongue ties, high palates, orthodontic history, or chronic mouth breathing.

Who Can Benefit from NRT?

Adults, teens and children (5+) experiencing:

• Mouth breathing or open-mouth posture

• Snoring or sleep disturbances

• Brain fog and fatigue

• Chronic headaches

• TMJ pain

• Airway restrictions or orthodontic concerns

• Sleep apnea support (alongside medical care)

• Body tension affecting airway

We also collaborate with myofunctional therapists, airway-trained ENTs, speech therapists, dentists, and orthodontists for lasting results.

What to Expect During a Session…

NRT is quick, precise, and typically painless. A pressure feeling is expected as the balloon is inflated.

A small lubricated finger cot (variable sized balloon) attached to a bulb is gently placed inside the nasal passage and then briefly inflated. You may feel mild pressure and hear clicking or popping as restrictions release. Clients often say “it’s hard to describe, but feels very satisfying”.

Many patients notice immediate changes in breathing and head clarity. It is a progressive treatment, so benefits can take time, typically 6-8 sessions are recommended within 6-8 weeks to regain opening and then shift into a maintenance of every 6-8 weeks.

Side Effects & Safety

Temporary effects may include sinus drainage, tooth soreness, nasal tenderness, or a short-lived headache. NRT may not be appropriate for individuals with bleeding disorders or recent facial bone surgery. A thorough health history is always reviewed first.

Why Nasal Breathing Matters

Nasal breathing supports oxygen delivery, immune defense, sleep quality, brain function, and healthy jaw development. When breathing improves, the benefits ripple through the entire body calmer nerves, better posture, deeper sleep, and more energy.

You Deserve to Breathe Freely

If you or your child struggles with mouth breathing, snoring, headaches, TMJ pain, or brain fog, an airway-focused approach may be the missing piece. Address the underlying restrictions that keep you from functioning optimally, ask about Nasal Release Technique.

You don’t have to keep pushing through. You deserve to feel what effortless breathing actually feels like.
