Sinus Problems Chiropractic Can Help

When you start seeing a chiropractor, you might be surprised at the wide range of conditions that can be treated by these professionals. So many people assume that it is just about pain issues relating to the back, neck and the joints, but there is more to it than that.

Chiropractic care can be good for so many different issues because it promotes the overall wellness of the body. When the body is properly aligned and the nervous system is free from dysfunction, it improves health and there are many conditions that can be addressed by ensuring healthy nerve function and by restoring the proper alignment of the spine.

Among the conditions that a chiropractor can help you with are those that relate to the sinuses. A Doctor of Chiropractic can provide treatment for issues like sinus headaches, sinusitis and allergies. In treating these conditions, the chiropractor will need to learn information about the patient, their health and they will need to perform a physical. This will provide the chiropractor with a better picture of the root cause of the problem, and then they can build a treatment strategy from there.

What may surprise some patients is that spinal manipulation may actually be able to provide relief for some sinus issues. The spine is the main pathway for the nervous system in the body, and when the spine is misaligned in a way that obstructs nerve function, it can cause any number of problems.

For some of the sinuses, they actually have a nerve supply that comes from the area of the neck. If the nerve is compromised in some way, it can affect the function of the sinuses and inhibit drainage. With some gentle adjustments, a chiropractor can restore the proper function of the nerves in this area, and this can provide relief for various sinus issues.

As an additional point, there are some sinus specific techniques that a chiropractor may apply. By applying pressure and making adjustments to the area of the sinuses, it can help to relieve pain and pressure that is causing pain or inhibiting the drainage from the sinus. Some practitioners may even use a technique that involves inserting small balloons into the nasal cavity. Once the balloons are in the nasal cavity, the chiropractor will then inflate the balloons to open the cavity. This can assist with drainage and relieve pain.

For treating sinus issues, a chiropractor may also supplement the care with things like massage and heat and cold therapy. In addition to that, it may also be recommended that you perform different nasal massage and stretching techniques when you are at home. In some cases, the chiropractor may also make different lifestyle and dietary recommendations.

When sinus issues are extreme, they can be quite painful, and it can make life miserable. Fortunately, chiropractic treatment can be an effective way to find relief. In seeking care for sinus problems, your chiropractor may want to see you several times over the course of a few weeks. If your sinus problems tend to be seasonal, then you might find the need to come back every year. With many sinus problems, you will find that as your treatment progresses, the frequency and intensity of the issues will subside.
