Concussion Clinic Christchurch: MSKSolutions-Restoring Cranial Alignment for Lasting Results

Introduction: The Concussion Dilemma in Christchurch

Every year, countless people in Christchurch and North Canterbury experience concussion. Whether from sport, workplace accidents, or everyday slips and falls, the impact is the same: weeks or months of headaches, brain fog, fatigue, and concentration problems. Many are told to simply “rest and wait.” For some, symptoms ease. But for many others, the fog never lifts.

At Musculoskeletal Solutions – Christchurch and Silverstream, we run a dedicated Concussion Clinic with a very different approach. Instead of waiting passively, our treatment restores cranial alignment through a groundbreaking technique called Cranial Facial Release (NasalRX). This is the only hands-on method available in Christchurch designed to physically realign cranial and facial bones after head trauma.

In this article, we’ll explore why the “rest and wait” model often fails, how cranial mechanics drive ongoing concussion symptoms, and why NasalRX is an affordable, accessible, and revolutionary pathway for recovery.


Why “Rest and Wait” Doesn’t Solve Concussion

Traditional concussion advice looks like this:

  • Rest in a dark room

  • Limit screen time

  • Take painkillers if necessary

  • Avoid strenuous activity

While this may help in the first days after impact, it does nothing to address the mechanical changes concussion creates:

  • Cranial bones compress or twist.

  • Facial structures tighten and restrict airflow.

  • Jaw joints (TMJ) lock, increasing tension.

  • Circulation of cerebrospinal fluid becomes sluggish.

The result? Symptoms linger. Patients may continue to experience:

  • Daily or weekly headaches

  • Migraines triggered by small stresses

  • Sinus congestion and blocked nasal breathing

  • Dizziness, imbalance, and motion sensitivity

  • Jaw clenching or facial pressure

  • Ongoing brain fog, poor memory, or difficulty focusing

Waiting does not unlock compressed cranial bones. Medication cannot restore natural alignment. Only hands-on cranial realignment can address the root cause.


The Mechanical Logic: Cranial Alignment After Head Trauma

The human skull is not one solid piece of bone. It is made up of 22 interconnected cranial and facial bones, linked by sutures and supported by muscles, fascia, and connective tissues.

After head trauma:

  • Sutures can jam, reducing subtle motion.

  • The cranial base can tilt, affecting blood and nerve supply.

  • Facial bones may collapse inward, narrowing nasal passages.

  • TMJ dysfunction can increase bite stress and jaw pain.

Think of it like a car that’s been in a minor crash. Even if the engine still runs, the wheels may be out of alignment. Driving without correcting it causes uneven wear and further breakdown. Similarly, the concussed brain and cranial system may appear “fine” on a scan, but the structural misalignment continues to generate symptoms.

Why Untreated Concussion Is Dangerous

Doing nothing isn’t neutral. Over time, unresolved concussion can trigger:

  • Chronic headaches and migraines

  • Sinus congestion and mouth breathing

  • TMJ dysfunction and dental stress

  • Sleep disruption and fatigue

  • Cognitive decline and memory loss

Research also links multiple or untreated concussions with long-term risks of neurodegenerative disease. That’s why early, active intervention is critical.


Introducing NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) - Concussion Clinic Christchurch: MSKSolutions

At our Concussion Clinic Christchurch, MSK Solutions core treatment is NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release ). This hands-on, non-surgical approach addresses concussion at its source: cranial misalignment.

How NasalRX Works

  1. Endo-nasal release

    • A small balloon is gently inserted into the nasal passage and briefly inflated.

    • This mobilises cranial bones from within, unlocking restrictions.

  2. External cranial alignment

    • Manual adjustments restore balance across facial bones, jaw joints, and the cranial base.

  3. Whole-system integration

    • Postural and breathing strategies ensure the head, neck, and body work together.

Conditions Addressed with NasalRX

  • Concussion treatment (post-trauma recovery)

  • Headache treatment

  • Migraine treatment

  • Sinus congestion treatment

  • Mouth breather treatment

  • TMJ treatment

  • Brain fog, fatigue, and poor focus


The Cost of Concussion Treatment in Christchurch

At Musculoskeletal Solutions, we believe concussion care should be accessible.

  • From $295 per procedure

  • Each session runs 30–40 minutes

  • Phase 1 requires 4 treatments (endo-nasal + external alignment)

  • Approximate total = $1,180 for the initial program

Compared to Surgery: Balloon Sinuplasty

For patients with sinus-related concussion symptoms, ENT surgeons may recommend Balloon Sinuplasty. While this mechanically widens nasal passages, it does not restore cranial or facial alignment.

  • Private Balloon Sinuplasty in New Zealand can cost up to $20,000 per treatment.

  • It requires anaesthesia and hospital admission.

  • Outcomes are variable, with risks of swelling, infection, or recurrence.

By contrast, NasalRX is non-surgical, affordable, and performed in-clinic.


Why NasalRX Is Revolutionary in Concussion Care

1. It Addresses the Cause

Instead of masking symptoms, NasalRX works at the level of cranial alignment, directly correcting post-trauma restrictions.

2. It’s Exclusive

Musculoskeletal Solutions is the only Concussion Clinic in Christchurch and North Canterbury offering NasalRX.

3. It’s Accessible

With treatments starting at $295, it is a fraction of surgical costs.

4. It’s Holistic

NasalRX doesn’t just help concussion—it also supports recovery from migraines, sinus congestion, mouth breathing, TMJ pain, and brain fog.


What to Expect at the Concussion Clinic

  1. Assessment: Full review of head trauma, concussion history, and cranial mechanics.

  2. Treatment Plan: Four-session Phase 1 of NasalRX and cranial alignment.

  3. Integration: Breathing and posture guidance to sustain improvements.

  4. Follow-Up: Ongoing care as needed for headaches, jaw comfort, and concentration.


Patient Takeaway: Why You Shouldn’t Wait

If you are experiencing:

  • Headaches or migraines after a hit to the head

  • Ongoing brain fog or fatigue

  • Sinus congestion or blocked nasal breathing

  • Jaw tension or TMJ issues

  • Poor focus or memory lapses

…waiting is not the answer. Concussion requires mechanical correction.

At Musculoskeletal Solutions – Christchurch and Silverstream, our Concussion Clinic provides the only hands-on treatment that restores cranial alignment: NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release).
