Natural Sinus Relief Techniques
Sinus congestion can make you feel miserable, affecting your ability to breathe, sleep, and go about your daily activities. Whether you’re dealing with seasonal allergies, a cold, or chronic sinus pressure, simple manual techniques can provide natural relief without relying solely on medication.
Nampa chiropractor, Dr. Zachary Reidinger demonstrates effective sinus adjustment techniques that you can perform at home to help drain congestion and reduce pressure. Watch the video below to see exactly how to perform these techniques safely and effectively.
Why Sinus Adjustments Work
Your sinuses are connected cavities in your skull that can become blocked with mucus during illness or allergic reactions. Manual sinus techniques help stimulate drainage, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation to the affected areas. By applying gentle pressure to specific points around your face, you can encourage your body’s natural drainage systems to clear congestion more effectively.
When to Use These Techniques
These sinus adjustment techniques work best when you’re experiencing mild to moderate congestion, sinus pressure, or headaches related to sinus issues. You can perform them multiple times throughout the day as needed. Many people find relief doing them first thing in the morning and before bed.
Supporting Your Sinus Health
While these techniques provide immediate relief, supporting your overall sinus health involves staying hydrated, using a humidifier, and addressing any underlying allergies or immune system concerns. Chiropractic care can also support your body’s natural healing abilities by ensuring your nervous system functions optimally.
Bonus tip: Try sitting upright for a few minutes after the techniques and taking slow, steady breaths through your nose—this can help keep things moving and support easier breathing.
