Nasal Cranial Release Technique (NCRT)
The Nasal Cranial Release Technique (NCRT) study group (formerly known as BACA) met at the SOTO-USA Clinical Symposium in Chicago and reported growing interest in this novel method of craniofacial bone correction. While various methodologies have been practiced over the past decades, the NCRT study group seeks to consolidate all these techniques within the chiropractic field. We welcome all chiropractic practitioners who have practiced NCRT, as well as techniques related to it such as "nasal specific," "neurocranial reorganization," and "balloon assisted craniofacial adjusting."
Our present focus is to consolidate our resources and develop a series of 2 twelve hour teaching programs designed to give the doctor a basic working knowledge of NCRT. Following completion of the 24 hours of class hours, the doctor will be qualified to sit for a certification examination. The goal is to create a nationwide and worldwide referral base of qualified professionals.
As of now, the committee consists of Drs. Stephen Berman, Richard Gerardo, Jeffrey Mersky, Glenn Frieder, and Michael Pascoe. We welcome help, suggestions, and assistance in our programs of instruction, certification, and research publication. An NCRT manual is presently being written which will combine all the research that has been published. Please contact SOTO-USA if you have information or interest in being part of our study group. All are welcome!!!
