Breathe Easier & Relieve Sinus Pressure with Nasal Release Technique
Do you struggle with persistent sinus pressure, frequent headaches, or lingering symptoms after a concussion?
These conditions can take a serious toll on your daily life, affecting your breathing, focus, and overall well-being.
At Ashworth Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic in West Des Moines, IA, we offer a proven, non-invasive solution: the Nasal Release Technique (NRT).
This specialized treatment is designed to help you:
Developed by Dr. J.R. Stober of Portland, the Nasal Release Technique works by gently adjusting the bones in your skull through the nasal passages. Here’s how it works:
- 1
A small, soft balloon is carefully inserted into the nasal passage.
- 2
The balloon is gently inflated for a brief moment, applying just the right amount of pressure.
- 3
This pressure helps realign the sphenoid bone and other key skull structures.
The result? Immediate relief from built-up sinus pressure, improved airflow, and a restored cranial balance that supports better overall health.
If you’re dealing with chronic sinus issues, breathing difficulties, or lingering post-concussion symptoms, the Nasal Release Technique might be the answer you’re looking for.
A Proven Technique Known by Many Names
The Nasal Release Technique (NRT) is widely recognized under different names, reflecting its effectiveness and long-standing use in helping patients find relief.
You may have heard it referred to as:
No matter what it’s called, the goal of NRT remains the same: to restore natural nasal function and provide lasting relief.
This technique is designed to help patients in West Des Moines, IA, and the surrounding areas breathe easier, heal faster, and feel better overall.
Why Timely Treatment with the Nasal Release Technique Matters
When it comes to head injuries, such as concussions, the sooner you seek treatment, the better.
Untreated concussions can lead to a wide range of debilitating symptoms, including increased pain, prolonged recovery, and difficulty returning to regular activities.
For individuals in high-risk professions, such as athletes and military personnel, timely treatment with the Nasal Release Technique (NRT) can accelerate recovery and reduce the likelihood of long-term health issues.
How the Nasal Release Technique Helps
Concussions and birth traumas can disrupt the natural alignment of the skull’s bones. This misalignment often results in:
The Nasal Release Technique is specifically designed to realign the skull bones, helping restore balance to your body and promote optimal neurotransmitter activity across your Central Nervous System.
This early intervention technique helps optimize recovery, reduce tension, and provide relief from symptoms caused by head trauma.
Preventing Long-Term Issues
The longer misalignments caused by head trauma go untreated, the more likely they are to contribute to chronic pain and ongoing health problems.
NRT helps mitigate these risks by promoting long-term cranial balance and improving overall health, giving you a head start in preventing persistent symptoms that could last a lifetime.
Indications and Symptoms Treated by the Nasal Release Technique
The Nasal Release Technique (NRT) has shown significant promise in addressing a wide variety of conditions.
Whether you’re dealing with head trauma, chronic pain, or breathing disorders, NRT may help alleviate symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
NRT can benefit individuals suffering from:
- 1
Concussions and other head injuries
- 2
Headaches, migraines, and head pressure
- 3
Fatigue, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain
- 4
Muscle spasms, neck, and shoulder pain
- 5
Poor concentration and focus
- 6
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- 7
Sinusitis, sleep apnea, snoring, and other breathing disorders
- 8
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- 9
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- 10
TMJ (temporomandibular joint pain, affecting the mouth, head, and jaw)
- 11
Vertigo and balance problems
- 12
Whiplash Syndrome
No matter the condition, NRT works to restore balance, reduce pain, and enhance overall body function, promoting healing in a gentle, non-invasive manner.

What Our West Des Moines Patients & Clients Are Saying
I went to Dr. Kim after suffering from months nagging back pain. I was experiencing pain in both my latissimus dorsi and trapezius muscles from working out. She worked wonders for me. Her adjustments of my neck and spine really benefited from this. She performed several adjustments on me before convincing me to try acupuncture. WOW! I have never been happier with the results. The pain in my lats and traps are now gone and my workouts are better than ever. I would recommend Dr. Kim to all my friends and family. 5/5 stars and a friendly and warming environment to go to. I will continue to go to Dr. Kim for all of my musculoskeletal pain and injuries.
Matt is one of the best out there. He’s an expert in musculoskeletal health, but I’ve also learned a lot around other health issues and the connection to musculoskeletal issues.
He’s also very personable and the office and staff are welcoming.
He’s not one of those salesy chiropractors who never really do adjustments and puts you on a high frequency plan. He treats your issues and will even give you tips on how to prevent it.
I recommend him to everyone.
The chiropractor was knowledgeable and had great customer service. He asked questions questions and explained the goals he had for my rehabilitation.
One of the best adjustment I’ve ever had!
Everyone on staff is very nice and personable.
Dr Wilson. Is very thorough. Most definitely one of the best chiropractors I have ever seen. Results from 1 visit are spectacular! Could go on and on!
5-18-23. Again very pleased with Dr Wilson. Other staff is very welcoming!
I really love it here! They are very friendly and I feel Dr. Wilson is giving me great treatment! I also don’t feel pressured into coming back too frequently. The adjustments are great! Great office!
Good first visit. Dr. Wilson identified the issue, took X-rays, explained the condition thoroughly. Came up with a detailed treatment plan and made adjustments that helped ease my pain immediately, all at my first visit. Very impressed with his skill, communication. The overall experience was excellent and I will be returning regularly.
Dr. Matt and the entire staff have been GREAT! I went in for some issues I was having with my neck and back and Dr. Matt also helped me with some other issues I was having with my calf and shoulders that have made a HUGE improvement in my overall health and comfort.
I highly recommend using Dr. Matt!
I had my very first chiropractic visit with Kim, and she was very personable, funny, and made every effort to relax me and explain what she was going to do. This is not a place that is going to try and nickel or dime you, she wants to help you get better as fast as possible. I’m so happy that I picked the right place to get treatment.
I see Alec for PT and Dr Matt for chiropractic adjustments and absolutely love them both! Everyone in the office is so nice and so helpful – I look forward to my appointments and always feel better than when I walked in!!
Dr. Matt Wilson has done wonders for me in not only chiropractic adjustments but also deep tissue therapy for my shoulder. I recommend Dr. Matt for any pain adjustment on legs, back and shoulder work and I’m confident that you will walk out of his office pain free every time. He takes wonderful care of you and his staff (including Amy 😉 is very friendly and helpful, even if you do arrive fashionably late. I appreciate Matthew’s knowledge and respect his passion for his discipline. As always thanks and job well done.
Dr. Matt has done wonders for me and I recommend him highly – I can’t say enough good things about him. Dr. Matt and staff are good people and will take great care of you.
Dr. Kim was a saving grace during the discomforts of my pregnancy. Not only is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy, it can help tremendously!
Dr. Matt is great and so knowledgeable in chiropractic care. I highly recommend him!
Dr. Jasmine Kim has helped me in so many ways. I was involved in a car accident which I suffered from neck and back injuries. I went to another chiropractor for treatments previous to seeing Dr. Kim after several treatments from the pervious chiropractor I was very discouraged and ready to give up, thinking that I was always going to deal with these issues.. One day I drove by her office and decided to give her try. After my first visit with her I had hope again. She was willing to listen to me and offered to read my previous treatments and also managed my attorney I was working with for the accident. Within 45 days I was feeling much better and was very grateful. Because I had been dealing with this issue for almost a year. She took my case and I did not have to pay anything upfront which I was amazed that she would do that. She does not suggest treatments that are not necessary and would cost you money that is not applicable to your needs to heals your body. I would high recommend her to anyone that needs chiropractic care.
Dr. Matthew squeezed me in on short notice and took very good care of me. He was very thorough and didn’t just adjust me and let me walk out. Amazing experience here and the receptionist is a sweetheart.
For the past 2 years I’ve been sitting in a chair either in class or studying as a physician assistant student. I started to suffer from severe lower back pain. I tried many over the counter remedies such as Tylenol and heat packs but nothing seemed to work. I heard about Dr. Kim from a friend, so I decided to give chiropractic a shot. I went in very weary because I had never been to a chiropractor before, but I could not be happier with the results. My lower back pain has been alleviated. I plan on frequently going back to see Dr. Kim in order to maintain the relief. I would recommend her to even my worst enemy. She is amazing.
Chiropractic care thorough, thoughtful & compassionate. Dr. Wilson is a good listener and has a staff who collaborate on your care. I am so thankful to have found Ashworth Clinic.
Dr. Kim is the best Chiropractor I’ve visited. Read more for my rant on my previous chiropractor experiences, and how Dr. Kim and Ashworth Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic compares.
Let me preface this by saying that I’ve been to 3 chiropractors before coming here, Hassel Family, Reset, and Vero. I only had a consultation at Hassel, and they were very nice and never asked me to sign an agreement for future visits. Reset and Vero on the other hand are the worst chiropractic businesses. They literally keep you in a room and have you sign agreement contracts of over $1,000 to continue getting their treatment over several months. Of course you can say “no” but they trap you in their sales pitch and coerce you to choose one of their plans. I fell victim once to Reset. I tried cancelling as soon as I got home, but of course they have a 30 day cancellation notice. -.-
Anyways, this whole experience had left me skeptic and weary of going to Chiropractors. I had been doing it all wrong. I finally looked up Chiropractors that are covered under my insurance, and hit up Dr. Kim for a first patient visit. She is great! She explained the procedure very well, gave me great advise for my health, and gave me my first adjustment all in the first visit. Oh, and did I mention…there is NO contract that they have you sign. You only pay for the service you get!
If you’re still reading, please don’t make the same mistakes that I did of going to the wrong Chiropractors that focus more on marketing/sales/business than on actual chiropractic service.
Dr. Kim has changed my life and has got my back, literally! 🙌🙏
Dr. Matt is amazing. I have sent him friends and family… no one has ever complained about him. I have been going to him off and on for a few years now for adjustments. Highly recommend!!
Hands down the best chiropractic experience. Great with children. Very knowledgeable and informative.
I was terrified to visit a chiropractor but was in so much pain and not getting relief with treatments received from my physician. I was referred to Dr. Kim by two of my friends and I will be forever grateful to them for the referral. After the first treatment I was able to turn my head all the way to the side without pain, something I had not done for a year. After five treatments, I am no longer limping due to a pinched nerve in my leg. She explained her process, answered all my questions and only then moved forward with things. I cannot recommend her enough.and words cannot show how grateful I am for how she has helped me.
Dr. Kim was fantastic. I had been on the hunt for a new chiropractor for a while, as I was dealing with some discomfort in my left hip and getting consistent headaches. After my first visit I knew I had found the right place. Dr. Kim was very personable and detailed throughout each of my appointment. After three adjustments and following post adjustment care, I was back to myself! I will continue to use Dr. Kim for future chiropractor needs.
Dr. Wilson is an outstanding chiropractor who is both concerned with his patients’ well-being, and interested in his own field. I typically see him only when my back and neck are injured, but I’m approaching the age when I’ll look for more regular maintenance care and this is where I’ll go. He’s treated me for everything from simple headaches to painful, deep inflammation in my back and neck requiring electric stim treatments and several visits. He’s always thorough, kind, and genuinely engaged in my health. He also treats my children and we consider him to be a friend and someone we will seek out for care for a long time. Highly recommended, and I’m both shocked and skeptical of the one negative review he’s received here on Google. Then again, Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron weren’t unanimous selections to the Baseball Hall Of Fame, so there’s always one, right? 😉
I met Dr. Matt Wilson through my granddaughter. Today was the first day. I was very pleased with Dr. Wilson. I have doctored with chiropractors most of my life. I feel Dr. Wilson knew what my problem is and he will fix it. I am very happy to have met him and I certainly “thank” my granddaughter for recommending him!
Hands down the best chiropractic experience I’ve ever had! Dr. Matt listens, provides compassionate care that delivers amazing results and is always thinking of ideas that could improve my effectiveness of care even more.
Dr. Kim is incredible. On your first visit she takes the time to discuss your pain and explains thoroughly your treatment plan. Before each treatment she asks you how you feel and what you think your improvement level is. She is not like a lot of Chiropractors who want you to visit them 3x a week for months. After 4 treatments my aches and pains in my back and neck were gone. I will schedule as needed chiropractic appointments with Dr. Kim!
I started experiencing bad hip pain with my second pregnancy and came to Dr. Wilson seeking treatment and advice and he has and continues to do his best to alleviate this pain. Thankful for his prenatal chiropractic care.
Matt explained how the pain I was experiencing stemmed from tight muscle next to the T-3 and T-4 vertebrae. The inflammation from the muscle presses on the nerve in vertebrae and causes a rotation which gets that nerve inflamed. I hope I said this correctly. Matt gave me printed copy of exercises to strengthen my core muscles which will in turn keep this from happening. So informative and caring! Great chiropractor!
I chose chiropractic care after traditional medical care wasn’t helping.Dr.Wilson has been trying hard to stop my pain.There is a ways to go but I am confident that we are on the right track.
My family have used chiropractic and physical therapy services here and every one of us have had excellent outcomes. I wouldn’t go anywhere else these folks are as good as it gets.
My back got fixed. Yes, the adjustments made the magic. Thanks for taking care doc.
