Overview: What Is NCR?
The phrase, “form follows function” represents an idea transformed into the revolutionary medical treatment NeuroCranial Restructuring by Dean Howell, ND.

The human skeleton is based on a symmetrical structure that—for a variety of reasons—can be degraded to a less-than-optimal shape. Just as everything else in nature that performs according to its design, the body and, most importantly, the “command center”—the brain—operates and reacts at its physiological peak only when its structure is as close to the original, symmetrical design as possible. In this optimized state, the hydraulic processes that transport vital and nutrient-filled fluids to our brains are also optimized, causing the brain and organs to function more and more perfectly. Only in this optimized state can we have ideal operation of the mechanical functions of the skull—dental occlusion, vision and depth perception, balance, hearing, sinus drainage, and nasal breathing.

Once the skull is in alignment, the body responds in kind, adjusting itself to the optimized position of your skull, with improved weight distribution, proper spinal alignment, and proper limb function. It is this optimized structural state Dr. Dean Howell (with NCR) seeks to help you achieve and maintain.

Who Is a Candidate for NCR?
As a practicing naturopathic physician, Dr. Dean Howell created NCR to help his patients overcome the pain and suffering a compressed, misshapen or traumatized skull can cause. These injuries occur throughout our lives, during vehicle wrecks, industrial accidents, and sports activities—but also through less obvious causes (bumps on the head, facial pressure, repetitive motion, high stress, dental trauma, etc.).

The sum of these incidents is a cranium out of alignment from its “original design.” For these NCR treatment candidates, proper alignment can mean relief from the symptoms and side effects of an improperly aligned structure.

Because the skeleton is designed to support the skull by any means necessary, this misalignment can produce a host of difficulties when it comes to your health and happiness, including:

• Head and Sinus Problems
• Eye Abnormalities
• Dental/Orthodontic Difficulties
• Ear Problems
• Muscular and Skeletal Conditions
• Emotional and Mental Difficulties

Throughout the course of his practice, Dr. Howell discovered even those who haven’t suffered these maladies can also benefit from the power of NCR and a properly aligned structure, resulting in greater focus, a brighter outlook, and a more positive sense of well-being. In either case, NCR can bring positive and lasting changes to the patient.

You, too, can improve your appearance and health—without surgeries, without drugs, and without spending additional years and dollars seeking a solution. NeuroCranial Restructuring brings together an innovative treatment technique and time-tested medical technology.

How Was NCR Developed?
The skull is a puzzle. Dr. Dean Howell is a medical professional with unique insight into how the pieces fit together. More than two decades of intense research and technique development led Dr. Howell to NeuroCranial Restructuring.

Drawing on his extensive training as a naturopathic physician, Dr. Dean Howell combined deep muscle massage, craniopathy, Reiki, and Bilateral Nasal Specific Therapy, creating an exciting new treatment designed to correct the physiological imbalances caused by trauma, compression and misalignment.

The process took years to perfect, but the explanation is simple: NCR attempts to restore the natural balance and proportion of your skull, cranial bones, spine, pelvis, legs, and feet . Dr. Howell uses small yet powerful endonasal balloons to manipulate the sphenoid bone. This bone acts as a keystone for the entire skull—once unlocked, your skull begins to take on its natural proportions.

Your appearance changes, with facial features and skull shape becoming more balanced. Because your brain operates on liquids, the optimized skull shape leads to flow and balance. Your concentration, alertness and mood improve, without drugs or supplements. Your posture takes on a straighter, truer form. Best of all, these effects are cumulative, and permanent—with repeated treatments, you can begin to see a new and healthier you.

Where can I get treatment from Dr. Howell?
Dr. Howell treats members of the NCR Club in Los Angeles (Hollywood), New York, London, San Diego (Carlsbad), and Seattle (Bellevue).

NCR and Physical Beauty
Facial symmetry can also be associated with physical beauty. Scientific studies prove even babies prefer symmetrical, smiling faces. With NCR, you can improve the symmetry of your face and body. You will stand straighter and taller, your shoulders will roll back, and your scoliosis will be minimized. As your skull becomes more symmetrical, your skin—which takes its shape from your facial bones—fits more perfectly. The result may be that wrinkles disappear!

Headaches and migraines are the easiest conditions to treat with NCR
There are many other conditions treated with the powerful tools of NeuroCranial Restructuring. All of the following conditions can be the result of poor structure. So, with NCR, we treat:

• Anxiety, nervousness, OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)
• Attention Deficit Disorder, dyslexia, hyperactivity and other learning disabilities
• Autism
• Cerebral palsy
• Concussion and other head injuries
• Depression
• Down’s Syndrome
• Dystonia, Tourette’s Syndrome, tics, torticollis
• Ear infections and deafness
• Glaucoma, double vision, and other vision problems
• Headaches, head pressure, migraines
• Insomnia
• Low energy, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue
• Muscle spasms, neck and shoulder pain
• Orthodontic stress and bruxism
• Osteoporosis
• Plagiocephaly, microcephaly, and oddly-shaped heads
• Phobias
• Poor concentration and focus
• Relationship difficulties
• Sciatica, kyphosis (hunchback), lordosis (swayback), scoliosis (spiral spine), military spine and other back problems
• Seizures
• Sinusitis, sleep apnea, snoring, other breathing and sinus disorders
• Strokes
• Tinnitus
• TMD, TMJ (mouth, head, and jaw pains)
• Vertigo and other balance problems
• Whiplash Syndrome
• Wrinkles (NCR often replaces a face lift)

Optimization, Spirituality, Meditation, Psi Abilities, and Physical Structure
Many people spend much of their free time trying to perfect their internal world. Courses, tapes, DVDs, CDs, books, meditation, nutritional supplements and more are an important part of these people’s worlds—all these efforts to make their consciousness and brain function the best they can be. But the brain is dependent on the circulation of two fluids—blood and cerebrospinal fluid—in order to operate.

Physicists have proven to us that the shape of a container determines the distribution of the fluids circulating inside the container. Your brain is contained inside the skull and each area of the brain is dependent on fluid circulation in order to operate normally. This means you (and your brain) cannot function optimally if your skull structure is not optimized as well.

NCR can help you to become more spiritual, more in tune with your environment and your abilities, or better at prayer and meditation. There is no other treatment offered anywhere that offers the results that are routine with Dr. Dean Howell and NCR!
