It’s that time of the year again where sinus problems & allergies are coming back! Last week we talked about allergies, but sinus problems can also have a negative affect on your day to day lifestyle. Does visiting a chiropractor have anything to do with solving sinus issues? Yes! In fact, chiropractic care and sinus problems are very related to one another.
In technical terms, your sinuses are hollow spaces within the bones of the cheeks and forehead, so problems occur when mucus takes over your tissues and blocks drainage. This increases pressure in those spaces, which causes clogged nasal passages, fever, chills, swelling, and other forms of pain!
This is where chiropractic care comes into play, instead of just reaching for medication! If the body is functioning at optimal levels of health, then the body is better at fighting off potential illness. In fact, the nervous system (brain & spinal cord) controls the entire health of the immune system. Therefore, when there is poor spinal health, this in turn leads to poor immune system health. Any spinal misalignments directly affect our overall health, so getting adjustments help resolve misalignments and prevent future issues.
Sinus pressure is also often times caused by inflammation in the sinus cavities. Chiropractic care can reduce inflammation and create better immune response. A simple chiropractic adjustment removes misalignments to reduce nerve interference so the body can once again function at high levels of health!
