Getting Help With My Back

As soon as I tweaked my back, I knew that I had a serious problem. I couldn't stand up straight and the pain was excruciating. I tried to hobble to the car, but I realized that I would need help. That day, my wife drove me to the nearest chiropractor, and that doctor helped me more than I thought was possible. After evaluating my condition, he informed me that I had a herniated disc in my back. In addition to adjusting my back to alleviate the pressure, the doctor also recommended some strengthening exercises that he said would help. These days, I can walk pain-free because of my chiropractor. Check out this blog to learn how a chiropractor can help you.

Stressed By Persistent Sinus Problems? Maybe It's Time To See A Chiropractor?

Tyrone Berry

The pain and pressure associated with irritated and inflamed sinus cavities can make it difficult to get through a normal day. When this happens often and does not respond to standard medical care, the discomfort soon begins to affect your concentration, vision, hearing, and even speech. If you are seeking relief from this type of pain and discomfort, you may be surprised to learn that consulting a chiropractor may help you get faster relief that lasts longer. 

Draining Sinuses with Adjustment

By definition, chiropractors treat the conditions and illnesses of the human body by manipulating the spine and bones, especially those nearest the central nervous system. By relieving stress on the spine, the nervous system is free to perform its work, effortlessly reaching all areas of the body. Misalignment, also called a subluxation, of the spinal column or other bones can impede the ability of the nervous system to function, as well as resulting in discomfort, pain, or inflammation. 

Chiropractors commonly use their ability to do spinal adjustments to help manage a patient's pain and discomfort. However, most people may not realize that adjustment of the facial bones or upper vertebrae of the neck - a sinus adjustment - can often help promote healthy sinus drainage and reduce inflammation and discomfort. 

What to Expect from Sinus Adjustment

During a sinus adjustment procedure, the chiropractic will gently manipulate the bones of the face in the sinus regions (forehead, cheeks, and nose region) as well as behind each ear. Depending on the patient's needs, the chiropractor may also choose to carefully manipulate the vertebrae of the neck. Manipulations are generally performed using the pressure, strength, and skill of the chiropractor's hands.

Recommendations for Other Treatments

Chiropractors want their patients to enjoy improved health. In addition to manipulation, they may recommend that patients with sinus problems make changes in their diet that are known to reduce inflammation levels in the body. They also may suggest further manipulation treatments, therapeutic massage, or the use of some supplements to completely clear up the symptoms. 

If pain and discomfort from sinusitis are affecting your life and you would like to work toward more permanent relief than you have found with traditional medical care, contacting a highly regarded chiropractor near you is something to consider. If you have questions, you may want to stop by and tour the offices and meet the staff. They will be able to help you understand chiropractic care and what to expect during your first visit.
