Treatment for Chronic Sinusitis
Sinusitis is one of the most common health conditions in the United States. The origin may be of viral, bacterial, fungal, allergy, environmental and anatomical variations in the sinuses. Major criteria of sinusitis include sinus headaches, nasal congestion, excessive mucous, coughing, disturbance of smell and taste and more.
This unique therapy utilizes a blood pressure bulb and finger cots. The finger cots are placed inside the sinuses through the nose and are briefly inflated. The inflation of the finger cot produces several benefits including pushing out accumulated mucous and restoring proper respiratory breathing. It also shifts the cranial bones, allowing them to realign and relieve built up pressure. Lastly, it can restore normal sinus drainage and allow articulation of sinus joints.

Manipulating these joints by Cranial Facial Release can help restore normal breathing capacity. This is especially true with athletes that take direct blows to the face.
In addition to its many benefits, nasal specific treatment can be used in conjunction with other treatments to relieve your sinus pain.
