Dr. Hawk utilized a highly specialized technique for patients needing specific help.

Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is an advanced endo-nasal “balloon-assisted” cranial adjusting technique that has been used very successfully in the treatment of various neurological and structural disorders – often as a last resort treatment for difficult conditions after conventional forms of treatment have failed – for things like head trauma (TBI), PCS, post-stroke symptoms, Bell’s Palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, migraine headaches, vertigo, tinnitus, seizures, TMJ disorder, hearing loss, visual disturbances, breathing disorders, snoring, sleep apnea, sinusitis, deviated septum’s, emotional disorders, learning disorders, loss of smell, loss of taste, cranial distortions/deformities in infants + babies with plagiocephaly – the list goes on and on. The primary objective of CFR is to open up the breathing passages and induce mobility in the cranial system (specifically the sphenoid bone) with the purpose of facilitating normal cerebral spinal fluid flow.

The technique is performed by inserting tiny balloons in the nose (specifically the naso-pharynx) then quickly inflating to mobilize the bones of the face and cranium. The procedure is performed in a series of 4 days of treatment, with specific bilateral inflation patterns administered on each individual day. It typically takes 3-4 series (12-16 individual days of treatment) to achieve maximal benefit from CFR.

Medical Thermography is a whole body analysis for assessing skin surface temperatures that can be correlated by a physician to assess for abnormal physiology. Uses for thermography are similar to that of an oral thermometer, a stethoscope, or any other medical test that assesses patient function. There are several type of medical devices used by the medical thermologist. These include contact sensors, infrared cameras, and point analysis systems. The most technical and advanced system is the infrared thermal camera which is the choice technology of Breast Thermography International and the Professional Academy of Clinical Thermology. Infrared cameras measure radiation in the infrared electromagnetic emission that the human body emits. The sensors on the thermal camera read varying degrees of infrared emittance and through proper calibration, translates it in to a temperature reading. The information is then plotted in a digital format in a color palette. The most commonly used palette is the full spectrum rainbow (ROYGBIV) which shows hot measurements as red and white and cold measurements as magenta and black. These patterns are then analyzed and physiological assessments are made.
