Part of our ABC™ protocol, not a stand-alone treatment

Endonasal Cranial Correction™ (ECC™) in London

Endonasal Cranial Correction™ (ECC™) is a gentle chiropractic adjustment that works on the cranial bones. It's one part of our whole-body ABC™ protocol, used only when your initial consultation shows you need it. It is not a stand-alone treatment, and we don't offer it as a one-off appointment.

What is Endonasal Cranial Correction™?

ECC™ is performed with you lying down; we use a small, hand-held instrument to apply gentle pressure through the nasal passages, aiming to reach the sphenoid bone at the centre of the skull. The goal is to correct any restrictions or misalignments in cranial movement.

What happens during the correction?

  1. We check whether ECC™ is needed as part of your ABC™ care. We only use it when it is.

  2. We explain what we are going to do and why before we start.

  3. You lie down on the treatment table.

  4. A small, hand-held instrument applies gentle pressure through the nasal passages.

  5. The correction itself is quick, and we continue with the rest of your adjustment.

  6. You can ask questions, or ask us to stop, at any point.

What does it feel like?

A little unusual. Many people compare it to water up the nose. It is over quickly, and most people find the overall correction well worth it.

If you have any questions about it, ask us at your initial consultation or on a free discovery call. We are always happy to talk it through first.

Not a stand-alone treatment

ECC™ is one part of our ABC™ protocol. We use it when your initial consultation shows that the cranial bones need correcting as part of getting your whole structure back into alignment, and only then.

If you've read about ECC™ or seen it online and want to know whether it's right for what's going on with you, book a free discovery call. We'll talk through your concerns and explain how it fits within ABC™ care.

Gentle, explained and always your choice

ECC™ is a gentle adjustment. We explain it before we do it, we work at a pace that is right for you, and you stay in control throughout.

If your symptoms suggest that another healthcare professional should see you first, we will tell you and point you in the right direction.
