With the colder months, it is common to see an increase in colds, flus and sinus congestion. Our sinuses are a connected system of hollow cavities. There are four paired sinuses in the cranium and skull; these can become inflamed due to bacterial infection or allergies.
Inflammation results in increased pressure over the cheek, eyes, nose, and temples.
Common symptoms of Sinus infection are:
• sinus headache
• facial tenderness
• pressure or pain in the sinuses, in the ears and teeth
• fever
• cloudy discoloured nasal or postnasal drainage
• feeling of nasal stuffiness
• sore throat
• cough
The Chiropractors at Granger Chiropractic are trained to assist in relieving the pressure and easing the headaches by aiding in sinus drainage. This technique works to stimulate the mucus membranes which line the sinus’ to increase movement of thick secretions and in turn clear the sinus cavities again. With massage and cranial alignment your sinus’ have a great chance of being and staying clear. If you are feeling congested, don’t hesitate to tell your Chiropractor. :
