What happens when the balloons are inflated?
The endonasal balloons are inserted through the nostril into the top of the throat through one of the six passageways that are available. The inflating bulb is squeezed, pumping air into the balloon, and it puffs up in the nostril. As the air pressure in the balloon becomes greater, it presses outward against the bones inside the nose and upper throat. Eventually the pressure becomes great enough that the balloon forces its way into the top of the throat. At that instant the bony joints of the head are gently shifted and adjusted opened for a moment, and the tensions stored in the connective tissues surrounding those areas are released. The bone structures of the head now shift. The treatment unlocks the binding pattern in the skeletal system (rather like creating an earthquake), and the body begins shifting its pattern of stabilization.
