Nasal Specific Technique in Visalia, CA
Nasal Specific Technique (NST) was created in Portland, OR by Dr. Stober, DC, ND, in 1945 has been used ever since. It has been found to show success in treating chronic sinusitis in conjunction with other therapies. Small balloons are inserted into the nasal passages (in an area called the meatuses), then inflated quickly, deflated and removed. This process opens up the passages and stimulates mucus secretions, aiding in drainage and improved breathing. Patients are left feeling more open and facial pain and headaches are often reduced.
