Understanding Sinuses

Many people suffer from sinus problems, but most don’t understand what that means. Our sinuses are in a group of hollow cavities, several behind the bones of the forehead, nose, eyes, and cheeks.

These cavities allow air to flow as you breathe, each lined with tissue. So if your sinuses are “acting up,” it’s typically because the tissue becomes inflamed, which leads to stuffy noses, improper drainage, and increased pressure. Several things, including pollutants, dry air, infection, and other irritants, can cause inflammation.

Chiropractic Care for Sinuses

You may wonder what this has to do with our chiropractor. The answer lies in where the sinuses are located and another potential cause of sinus trouble, misalignment.

Your sinuses are a component of the face’s bone structure and are connected to the nervous system. Therefore, when a misalignment in the skeletal system irritates a nerve that serves the sinuses, it can cause sinus issues.

Sinus adjustments are effective at addressing these issues. Sinus adjustments are explicitly geared toward addressing skeletal system components that could interfere with your sinuses. For example, these spinal adjustments could be to the neck or gentle adjustments to the facial bones. Consistent adjustments can improve sinus draining, address issues between your respiratory and nervous systems, and even prevent sinus trouble in the future.
