Spring has well and truly sprung; this time of year is synonymous with allergies, hay fever and sinusitis.
Hay fever presents differently for people but common symptoms include:
• Runny nose and nasal congestion
• Headache
• Watery, itchy, red eyes (allergic conjunctivitis)
• Sneezing & Coughing
• Itchy nose, roof of mouth or throat
• Postnasal drip
• Fatigue
Chiropractors can assist with nasal congestion, painful sinus and headaches. 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 allergies. When our sinuses are congested and inflamed it can be quite painful, lead to headaches and facial tenderness. 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 the best chance of being and staying clear.
