Nasal Specific/Bilateral Nasal Specific (BNS) is a proven , reviewed controlled approach and technique that works to unwind the body and help it return to a more optimal function by widening the nasal passages and adjusting the cranial plates to releasing pinned up stress/pressure that affects the nervous system and it reestablishes/ increases the flow of oxygen, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid to the body's, nervous system, and to the brain.
THE NASAL SPECIFIC METHOD:
Nasal Specific uses finger cots, affixed/tied to a blood pressure buld (a sphygmomanometer) to deliever and even and effective controlled amount of air to widen the nasal passages. The finger cot portion of this device is lubricated. The patient breathes out through their nose, this allows access and proper placement of the finger cot into the nasal passageway. The finger cot is gently tucked in around the outer edges of the nostril to insure that no outward bulging of the ballon occurs when it is inflated. The nostril is lightly compressed anround the valve of the pressure bulb, so that no air can escape. The other nostril is left free and not compressed so air can escape. The paritne then takes a deep breath in and holds it. By taking, the breatin in it expands the joints/membranes of the nasal cranial wall. The finger cot is then gently inflated and makes its way throught the nasopharynx, of which are 6-3 on each side, widening them as it goes along.
The finger cot/balloon is first inserted into the lower portion of the nose, first one side then the other. This is done to keep facial pressure, and symmetrical balance and optimize the beneftis ofthis technique. It is then repeaed in the middle passageways, then the top passageways. Then this process is repeated in the lower nasal passageway to help complete the full effect of nasal enhancement. Because the nasal passageways are stair stacked, and widening the upper two nasal pathways indeed compress the lower nasal passageways somewhat. Therefore, the lower nasal passageways are repeated to completely stimulate and to place nasal flap in and upright postiion instead of an inverted postion. Many times the greatest effect is accomplished after the bottom two nasals are repeated.

Traumatic Brain Injury has been called one of the signature injuries of our current wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Recent developments in armor have made it possible for soldiers to survive much more powerful close-range explosions than in previous wars. Explosions cause a rapid change in atmospheric pressures. Close proximity to them can cause severer internal damage, head trauma, or death even if not harmed by flying shrapnel/debris. Although armor protects soldiers from shrapnel, the consequent explosive overpressure often times causes concussions or a traumatic brain injury.
I am an OIF veteran who, in 2006-2007, was exposed to several close-range high-volume explosions. Although not diagnosed with severe TBI, I was experiencing sporadic pain especially during extreme pressure changes (i.e. flights). The military currently has no true treatment for such symptoms.
While home on post-deployment leave in December 2007, I visited with Dr. Siegfried who has been doing Bilateral Nasal Specific/Endonasal Balloon Therapy for over 25 years. Although initially skeptical of such therapy, I decided to try it. I was able to feel almost immediate results effectively alleviating my problems. This therapy in my opinion a worthwhile treatment for TBI patients to look into and possibly consider.

Hind sight is said to be 20/20. Now that I look back and put all the pieces together I realize that I had endured chronic sinus problems from a child. I spent my eight-year old birthday in a hospital. I had always been a healthy child but started experiencing severe headaches. My parents and teachers of course thought it must be my eyes. Shortly after that was ruled out the headaches became so severe at one point that my doctor thought I just have spinal meningitis; therefore I was hospitalized. It was discovered that it would turnout to be a severe sinus infection after a spinal tap and tests.
From time to time after that I had the regular seasonal bouts with sinus problems. I decided it would just be something I would have to learn to deal with.
I can remember several time in my 20’s having on going problems… migraines, headaches, dizziness, nausea from the sinus drainage & pressure. For about a year it made me feel motion-sick all the time. Physicians – when I would go – would send me home with and anti-biotic which would never lessen the sinus infection only consume my good bacteria and leave me with yeast infection.
Once I had my sinuses drain into a pocket in the roof of my mouth. It felt like a golf ball under my pallet. I assumed it was a dental problem and headed to my dentist. He x-rayed it to find my sinuses are positioned low next to my fumes in places. It gave such pressure that my teeth were hurting. I was given an anti-biotic once again, but at least the pressure left my mouth.
I believe it was in 1987 I developed a sever sinus infection. I was contending with the pain, the pressure and drainage which kept my throat sore. I tried everything from nasal sprays, vitamins, over the counter sinus medications and just about ANYTHING anyone would suggest. I was practically living on doses of Tylenol. It all started in April of ’87 and then November ’88 when I realized I still had trouble. I mentioned I still had trouble. I mentioned to a friend that I had suffered with a sinus infection for 8 months! She offered to take me to see Dr. Siegfried and assured me that the Nasal Specifics would help. I admit when she explained it to me I was skeptical, but after 24 years of sinus problems I would have done just about ANYTHING for relief!
I went to Dr. Siegfried and really after the first treatment I didn’t feel any different but after all the years of problems I couldn’t expect an immediate cure. It took only 3 treatments to open thing up. I can honestly say that it was 17 years ago and I haven’t had ANY problems since with my sinuses, but if I did – I know exactly what to do now. I have recommended Dr. Siegfried to everyone that mentions sinus problems.
This past fall my 18 year old son was complaining with a sinus infection. I took him in to our physician and of course was given an antibiotic. It seemed to help-short term, but it kept reoccurring every other month. We were busy in trying to get him ready to leave for college in Chicago when his eye swelled shut from still another sinus infection. Since it had been 17 years since I had gone to Dr. Siegfried all I could remember is that he was in McMinnville, OR. I searched for him on the internet because I knew he could help with my son’s problems before I sent him 2500 miles away! Alex was a bit apprehensive when I explained the treatment, but at this point after having sinus discomfort for a year, he would try anything. He was able to see Dr. Siegfried for 2 treatments before leaving for college. He is doing great.
Next, my grandson miles, age 2, was suffering with severe sinus and ear problems. He too, had been given so many antibiotics only for his pediatrician to throw up his hands. I explained to my daughter how the little guy suffered enough and that I wanted him to get Nasal Specifics. The doctors had already explained that Miles wasn’t talking because the pressure was so great on his ears that he couldn’t hear. They told us we had to find something because of the “window” of time to his speech. I called for an appointment when Dr. Siegfried would be in Portland. Miles has had 3 treatments this far and the results are over whelming! Not only is he talking and parroting sounds but his whole personality has changed. He is a happier child. There is a lot to say for not having constant pressure and pain. He always says “Let’s go and let the Dr. fix your nose?”
Dr. Siegfried had made a definite impact on me and my family. He is very kind and personable.
I highly recommend Nasal Specifics to everyone that is tired of pain and wants to enjoy days of feeling great!
Because of all the success in this area I have flown my mother to Oregon from Alabama to see Dr. Siegfried. She is suffering from neurological problems that are the results of a fall.
There you have it – a full circle – from me to my son – my grandson and back to my own mother.
Thank you Dr. Siegfried for making such a difference in all our lives. Here’s to a happy, health future!

Nasal Specific Testimonials
Ever since beginning with the Nasal Specific adjustments I have noticed a tremendous difference in my focus with my studies in school, as well as big gains in my lifts. As a competitive power lifter, the goal is to lift the most weight possible in competition. I started with Nasal Specific adjustments on 11-24-09 and on 1-4-10; I competed in my first competition since the beginning of treatment. The results of this meet were a personal best in every single lift. I had not broken a record in my squat since August of 2007, and I feel that the nasal treatments are a big contributor to my success.
