NeuroCranial Restructuring Works Community Group
I founded this group to inform about the existence of NeuroCranial Restructuring, an inexpensive, naturopathic/chiropractic procedure like no other, for this has the power to undo many structural issues that contribute or cause other conditions. Research with an open mind, find a good practitioner, and please let us know of your experience with it, good or bad.
Hi all,
My son had NCR done the other day and it was traumatizing to say the least. We had done it for 3 series previously with a Dr. who does two treatments in two days. I was told by Dr. Howell's office that that was not good for kids, so we turned to someone who does it over 4 days. My son had had a cold two weeks prior, which left him with a persistant cough, I didn't think much of it since I had the same thing.
Long story short, my son who is 6 freaked out! New place, new doctor and it had been 4 mos since his last treatment, where we always did the other treatments 2 mos apart. The balloon went in fine, but the doctor had a hard time getting it out. In fact I think my son probably has a sinus infection and when the Dr. went to pull the balloon out it would not come out. He had to stretch it out far and then it popped inside his nose and came out. My son was very upset and when he was crying I could see a bunch of mucus at the back of his throat. He vomited twice, very small amts as well. Afterwards he told me it was awful and that he felt the balloon in his throat. I'm wondering if anyone else has ever felt the balloon there. Is NCR this uncomfortable for anyone else. I feel so deflated. I don't know if my son will ever do NCR again. The Dr felt that my son's sinuses are probably inflamed and clamped down on the balloon. I have seen little improvement in my son's head since starting NCR. He is 6 and I realize that it might take some time, but this was my last thing to try to help reshape my son's misshapen head.
Any advice?

I will ask Dr Lieurance to also comment on your post here. I want to continue to inform people about NCR, but it should be used with caution if there are known potential problems like this.
I started this group to give people good information, good or bad wherever possible. Please keep us updated on his condition and know that I care. I hope that we can follow up with useful information for you.
The next interesting perspective is that I see the general public much more accepting of allopathic or medical procedures that often lead to no correction or even treatment (diagnostics) which are incredibly intrusive. Example is colonoscopy, urethral swab, etc... then look at common dental procedures (wisdom tooth removal, root canal) . These in my opinion are much more traumatic than NCR. My experience has been that most people tolerate NCR very well. Some have a harder time with it for a variety of reasons. The upside potential for a good response with NCR far out ways the brief discomfort. Good health is worth it!
I would also say there are many that enjoy the sensation of receiving NCR. I'm lucky to have several staff members that feel this way.
I hope now you can look at NCR differently. I'm not sure whats wrong with your son but maybe you need to have more than just NCR to compliment his care or more sequences are needed?
I am having my son go through NCR because he has a tall, narrow head from being born premature and also plagiocephaly on the right back side from being in the NICU so long. His face has some asymmetry from the plagio as well. I'm concerned that all this will affect my son's self-esteem when he is older and also of the problems he may have as an adult with a misshapen skull (tmj, headaches, etc).
We only have one Dr. near us that practices NCR, he is 3 hours away. I wish we had more. I'm not sure how I will get my son to do NCR in the near future, he was quite traumatized. He is currently 6 1/2 and I was hoping NCR would help with his head, so far, after 3 complete series, we have seen some very small change. My plan was to go back to CST for a while and maybe trying NCR again a year from now, when hopefully my son's last experience will be far from his mind. I'm wondering if you think waiting would be ok? Would I see the same results a year from now, or would I be missing valuable time in changing his plagio because of his age?
Thank you again,
Nickie
I should admit I have no experience with your son's type of condition. Your son's condition might be best treated with a team of specialist that would include an NCR doctor. I know Dr. Lou in Miami has treated at least one case similar. Is his palate, roof of his mouth, narrow?
I usually have my patients take a deep breath and hold it during the inflation. Also although one some occasions I'll do 2 maybe 3 on one side in a row I am usually alternating around more than what your describing. I've also seen Dr. Howell move around more than this as well. There must be something blocking this one area from releasing.
I have not had NCR done yet, I am still investigating it. However I have a suggestion for helping your child to deal with the trauma, both generally and specific to this incident. There is a method called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT. If you look on the web you can find tons of free instructions and lessons on how to do it yourself (it is very simple), or you can find a practicioner. It is very effective at helping people to feel neutrally situations and memories that are otherwise highly emotionally charged. Basically it consists using a special format of tapping on acupuncture points. Children often respond better than adults because adults sometimes have a hard time believing that it can work, or just won't do it because it sounds too easy. I have been using it for a year and find it highly effective on myself and others. Hope this helps.
I am not on the web much, so do not be dismayed if I do not repsond soon. I am currently at the library.
