Mir konnte sehr zeitnah und professionell geholfen werden. Besonders toll war, dass in der Praxis auch Deutsch gesprochen wurde und man keine sprachlichen Probleme hatte. Die Atmosphäre war toll und man hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt.

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. After being away for two years, one of the first things I did was book an appointment here to treat all my pains from working not ergonomic from home. I experience everytime again how massively my aches improve after a treatment.  First Laura gave me a treatment and discovered issues I wasn't aware of, the second appointment was with Matthew,  the master of the clinic. What a relief I felt afterwards,  he put some bones back to where they should be, and that was the first time in many years my shoulder felt almost normal again. My 3rd appointment was again with Laura, and I can feel the release of much stiffness in my whole body, even to the extend of emotions flowing free again. As the cherry on the cake, theres the welcome of Wim when entering the clinic. If he doesn't make you smile when you get there, he certainly will when you leave! All in all, I highly recommend doing your body a favour and get yourself an appointment!

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. I came to Matthew with persistent neck pain at the base of my neck. I was struggling to fully rotate my head or look up without experiencing sharp twinges and pain shooting between my shoulder blades. The problem had been there for several weeks and wasn't improving with stretching or massage.

Matthew has helped me tremendously. I understand that healing is a process, but I felt an enormous sense of relief immediately after my very first adjustment. His technique is outstanding, and it's clear that he has a deep understanding of how the body works. You can truly feel that his years of experience speak through his hands.

I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, skilled, and caring chiropractor!

Chiropractic in The Hague

For which symptoms can CFR be used?

CFR may be considered for certain symptoms affecting the nose, head, and face. The symptoms that bring people to us can vary greatly. Some patients have been experiencing problems with nasal breathing for quite some time. Others have symptoms in the head or face and are looking for information about possible treatment options. Patients often ask us about CFR in relation to:

Nasal Breathing and Nasal Congestion

Such as prolonged nasal congestion or difficulty breathing through the nose.

A feeling of pressure in the head and face

Symptoms involving pressure or discomfort in the head or face.

Headaches and Migraines

Long-term (unexplained) symptoms such as tension headaches, cluster headaches, migraines, or other types of headaches.

Jaw and Facial Problems

Complaints involving the jaw, face, and surrounding structures.

“Not every complaint involving the head or face is suitable for CFR treatment. During a personal consultation, we will discuss your situation and the potential role of CFR.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Cranial Facial Release (CFR)

What is Cranial Facial Release (CFR)?

Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is a specialized chiropractic technique that focuses on the structures of the skull and nasal cavity. During treatment, a small balloon is inserted through the nose and briefly inflated. This creates pressure on the surrounding structures. CFR requires specific knowledge and training and is therefore not offered by every chiropractor.

For which conditions can Cranial Facial Release be used?

Practitioners use CFR to treat, among other things, nasal and sinus-related symptoms, facial symptoms, and certain functional symptoms in the head region. However, the scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness for these conditions is limited. Our chiropractors will therefore first assess your symptoms and medical history to determine whether CFR is an appropriate option.

Is a Cranial Facial Release treatment painful?

During a CFR treatment, you may experience an intense feeling of pressure or discomfort in your nose and face for a few seconds. How this is experienced varies from person to person. The chiropractor will explain in advance what to expect. There are also risks, including irritation or a nosebleed. The safety of this technique has not yet been sufficiently studied in a systematic manner.

How many CFR treatments will I need?

The number of treatments depends on your personal situation and the chiropractor’s assessment. There is no scientifically established optimal number of CFR treatments. During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss your symptoms, the possible approach, and how any changes will be evaluated. This way, you’ll know in advance what to expect.

Why Choose Cranial Facial Release at Chiropractic The Hague?

Chiropractie Den Haag has specialized expertise in the field of Cranial Facial Release. Our team includes several chiropractors who have received additional training in CFR. In addition, founder Matthew Schaer conducts international CFR training courses in Europe and Asia. According to the practice, Chiropractic The Hague is also the only location outside the United States authorized to provide CFR training. This exclusive status has yet to be independently confirmed.

What is the difference between CFR and standard chiropractic treatment?

Conventional chiropractic treatment typically focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including the spine and joints. Cranial Facial Release is a specific technique in which pressure is applied to structures within the nasal cavity using a small balloon. The method thus differs significantly from conventional chiropractic treatment techniques. CFR is not a substitute for standard medical diagnostics or proven treatments.
