What is Endonasal Balloon Therapy?

Endonasal Balloon Therapy is an advanced cranial chiropractic adjustment that uses a small medical balloon to gently mobilize the bones of the skull and face. Similar to the way spinal joints can lock and restrict movement, the cranial sutures — especially the sphenobasilar junction, maxillary-zygoma, and the deep endonasal bones — are prone to restriction from head trauma, whiplash, sports injuries, and even the birthing process.

By restoring cranial rhythm — the natural rhythmic expansion and contraction of the cranial and facial bones — EBT simultaneously reduces dural meningeal stress on the brain and central nervous system, improves cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, and opens the nasal passages to allow proper sinus and eustachian tube drainage.

It is a holistic, non-invasive procedure that addresses the cause, not just the symptoms. No surgery. No drugs.

About Dr. John Filo 

Dr. John completed his undergraduate studies in Kinesiology at York University in Toronto before moving on to Chiropractic College in the United States. He graduated from UBCC in Connecticut with a Doctorate in Chiropractic, followed by studies abroad in Beijing, China where he completed his diplomate in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. He is trained in various advanced chiropractic techniques including Gonstead, Sacral-Occipital, Cranial and Webster/Pediatric.

Along side his private practice, he regularly mentors and coaches Chiropractic students/graduates in clinical assessment, technique and patient care management.

In addition to his academic studies, Dr. John has a growing passion and interest in Eastern Philosophy such as Buddhism and Hindu teachings. For more than two decades, he has studied and practiced Vedanta and Contemplative practices and completed training as a Samadhi Meditation Teacher under the tutelage of Luang Phor Viriyang at the Willpower Institute. His teachings include in-depth lecture studies and reviews from Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Bhagavad Gita and Bhagavata Purana. Studying and practicing the various Yogic Philosophies has given him a spiritual and holistic perspective on life and healing. Combining his spiritual inclination with over 20 years of clinical experience and chiropractic technique has positioned him as a sought after practitioner and guest speaker in the health and wellness industry.
