Sinusitis Relief

Sinusitis is a condition in which the cavities around the nasal passages becomes inflamed. Sinusitis can occur as a secondary infection alongside a cold or flu but often times it appears alone and seemingly for no reason. In Sinusitis bacteria and viruses gather and multiply in the sinus cavities which prompts an immune response. This response is inflammation and pain which often manifests as headaches an inability to breathe through the nose, pressure, fatigue, ear pain, and even difficulty swallowing in the most egregious of cases.

Some unfortunate persons experience chronic Sinusitis which negatively impacts both their personal and professional lives. Recurring infections can lead to missed work, the inability to care for children, and can put a halt on daily responsibilities. Persons suffering from Sinusitis are often left feeling frustrated and angry when traditional medications don’t do anything to mask the pain or discomfort associated with the infection. Moreover these medications do nothing to treat the actual cause of Sinusitis.

What Causes Sinusitis?

We’ve already established that viruses and bacteria are common causes of Sinusitis but what you likely haven’t heard is that Sinusitis can also be caused by misaligned vertebra at the top of the neck as well as the 7th cranial nerve. Furthermore, the Greater Petrosal Nerve which controls the sinus membrane can become damaged when injury is sustained and the result is often Sinusitis. When the upper portion of the spine is damaged the C1 and C2 vertebra move out of alignment. This misalignment disrupts the central nervous system’s ability to communicate with the brain which then retards the body’s natural healing abilities. With the natural healing ability of the body stymied, infections such as Sinusitis can occur with great frequency.

Correcting Misalignment’s

Those whom suffer through bouts of Sinusitis can seek the help of an Upper Cervical Chiropractor. These practitioners are specialists whom not only emphasize natural healing but that realign the C1 and C2 vertebra. In realigning these vertebra they restore the body’s natural ability to heal and things like Sinusitis become a thing of the past. In order to determine the cause of a patients Sinusitis, 3D imaging is used in the Walnut Creek office to determine whether or not the C1 and C2 vertebrate are out of alignment. Best of all, Upper Cervical Care treatments involve no snapping, popping, or cracking. Instead the Walnut Creek Chiropractor will use gentle adjustments that move these vertebra back into their proper positions. So effective is Upper Cervical Care that many patients report immediate relief from the symptoms of Sinusitis.
