Introduction
When most people think of concussion care, they imagine rest, ice packs, or perhaps a visit to a sports doctor. But for many in Christchurch living with the ongoing effects of concussion — headaches, dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, or sinus pressure — these conventional strategies fall short.
The truth is, concussion is not just a neurological event; it is also a structural injury. Impacts that rattle the brain also shift the delicate cranial and facial bones, disturb fluid circulation, and jam sutures that should move freely. Unless this deeper mechanical disruption is addressed, symptoms linger.
That’s why patients searching for Concussion Treatment Christchurch are increasingly finding their way to Musculoskeletal Solutions, the only clinic in New Zealand offering NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release). This revolutionary approach restores cranial alignment directly, offering a path to genuine recovery rather than endless management.
Why Concussion Symptoms Persist
After a head injury, most professional advice even Specialists - revolves around time: “Wait it out,” “Rest for a few weeks,” or “Take it easy.” While these steps are important, they don’t explain why symptoms often persist for months — or even years.
The deeper reasons include:
Cranial bone compression that reduces mobility and locks tension in the head.
Obstructed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, limiting the brain’s ability to clear waste and nourish tissue.
Venous congestion, increasing intracranial pressure and worsening headaches.
Airway collapse due to misaligned facial bones, causing mouth breathing, poor sleep, and fatigue.
Jaw dysfunction (TMJ issues), which amplifies tension headaches and facial pain.
Unless these physical structures are restored, the body continues to struggle — no matter how much rest or medication is prescribed.
NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release): A Different Kind of Concussion Care
At Musculoskeletal Solutions Christchurch and Silverstream clinics, concussion treatment takes a unique path: rather than testing and training with exercises like Functional Neurology, NasalRX remarkably corrects one's physical cranial structure, including internal bones-such as Sphenoid and restores the mechanical disruptions that traditional care overlooks.
NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) uses a precise endo-nasal method with small, brief balloon inflations to gently mobilise the bones of the skull and face. Each session lasts about 30–40 minutes, and treatment is typically structured as a 4-session protocol over consecutive days.
This approach:
Unlocks jammed cranial sutures → restoring normal cranial motion.
Improves CSF flow and drainage → reducing pressure and foggy thinking.
Opens sinus and nasal airways → improving breathing and sleep quality.
Balances TMJ and facial bones → relieving headaches and jaw tension.
Supports neurological recovery → giving the brain space and circulation to heal.
Concussion Treatment Christchurch: Who Benefits Most?
NasalRX has shown strong results for patients with:
Sports concussions (rugby, netball, skiing, cycling)
Post-trauma head injuries from falls or accidents
Persistent headaches and migraines unresponsive to medication
Brain fog, poor concentration, or memory issues
Chronic sinus congestion and mouth breathing after concussion
TMJ dysfunction that worsened following head trauma
Sleep disruption or apnea tied to airway restriction
Patients often describe the results as “a pressure being released” or “finally being able to breathe and think clearly again.”
The Cost of Concussion Care: NasalRX vs. Surgery
One reason patients choose Musculoskeletal Solutions for Concussion Treatment Christchurch is accessibility.
NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release): from $295 per session.
ENT Balloon Sinuplasty or Sinus surgery: up to $20,000 per treatment in private care, often statistically known to be on average with less favourable long-term outcomes.
Not only is NasalRX safer and more cost-effective, it is also structurally restorative — correcting the root cause rather than temporarily alleviating symptoms.
Why Ignoring Concussion Is Dangerous
Leaving concussion unresolved can do more than prolong symptoms. Long-term cranial restriction may contribute to:
Neurodegenerative conditions later in life
Increased migraine and headache disorders
Chronic fatigue and mood instability
Persistent sleep apnea and cardiovascular strain
Ongoing sinus infections or airway dysfunction
For this reason, early intervention with structural correction is not just about comfort — it’s about protecting long-term health.
What to Expect at Musculoskeletal Solutions
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment Your history, concussion timeline, and cranial alignment are evaluated. Breathing patterns and posture are also analysed.
Step 2: Treatment Series Four NasalRX sessions across 10 days (each 30–40 minutes). Minor, safe, cranial mobilisations are performed via inflation, to restore alignment.
Step 3: Supportive Therapies If required, Cranial Osteopathy, upper cervical Chiropractic, or Class 4 laser may be combined for a full recovery plan.
Step 4: Follow-Up At 6–8 weeks, progress is re-measured to ensure cranial rhythm and neurological function are restored.
