Chiropractic Solutions for Sinus Infections

​

Sinusitis is a common ailment affecting over three million Americans each year. If a cold lasts more than ten days or initially gets better only to worsen again, you may be dealing with a sinus infection. Learn more about sinusitis and how chiropractic care can help.

​

Recognizing Sinus Infection Symptoms

A classic indicator of a sinus infection is pain in the ear, face, forehead, sinuses, behind the eyes, or nose. Additional symptoms include:

• Yellow-green nasal discharge

• Congestion

• Headaches

• Coughing

• Disrupted sleep

• Throat irritation

• Fever

• Fatigue

 

Common Causes

Your sinuses are hollow spaces in the cheekbones, around the eyes, and behind the nose. These cavities contain mucus to filter, warm, and humidify the air you breathe. An infection often develops when something blocks mucus drainage.

​

Sinus infections usually begin with a cold and progress due to a viral or bacterial invader. Here’s a quick way to tell them apart:

• Viral: Symptoms last under ten days without severe worsening.

• Bacterial: You remain sick beyond ten days or deteriorate after an initial improvement.

 

Chronic Sinusitis

Chronic sinusitis refers to inflammation lasting 12 weeks or longer and isn’t typically an infection. It’s often managed with saline irrigation, with surgery as a last resort—underscoring the value of conservative care.

​

Preventive Care with Chiropractic

In the United States, preventive healthcare often takes a back seat to disease management. Embracing a proactive approach is essential for overall wellness. Chiropractic care focuses on correcting subluxations, or misalignments of spinal vertebrae, to minimize stress on adjacent nerves. This approach helps keep the nervous system functioning at its best.

​

Strengthening Immunity through Chiropractic

Research highlights the close connection between the nervous system and immune function—particularly via the adrenal glands. Studies indicate direct neural communication from the brain to the immune system, aligning with chiropractic principles. By eliminating subluxations and improving spinal alignment, the body is better equipped to perform optimally. Additional research has found correlations between chiropractic care and enhanced immunity.
