Sinusitis

Sinus Infection or Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus membranes that can be infectious (caused by a virus or bacteria) or non-infectious (often caused by allergies).

 

Sinus Infections Helped With Endonasal Cranial Adjusting - Dr Adam Fields

The Paranasal Sinuses

The sinuses are hollow parts inside of some of the bones of the skull.  They help with voice resonance, lighten the skull and produce a special mucus that keeps the inside of the nose moist and protects it from dust, dirt, pollutants, and microbiological organisms.

Metaphorically, you might think of the sinuses like bathtubs with a drain. The sinuses produce mucous that needs to be drained regularly.  If the skull bones are tilted wrong, the sinus cavities cannot drain as well (or not at all) and microorganisms can get into the area and an infection can arise.  The insides of the sinuses are hollow and thus do not have a good blood supply to bring white blood cells to the area to fight the infection.  Even treating with antibiotics can be difficult because the infection may not be near the walls of the sinuses where the blood vessels are.  Not to mention, there are horrible side effects from antibiotic use.

Endonasal Cranial Adjusting does not kill the sinus infection. It allows your body to flush it out of the sinus cavity.

Endonasal Cranial Adjusting and sinus issues are a match made in heaven.  It would take more than the pages of this website to recount the volume of people helped in my office with acute and chronic infections.

One rate limiting factor to healing chronic sinusitis is when the infection is fungal in nature.  In this instance we must implement a strict dietary and supplement protocol in addition to Endonasal Cranial Adjusting.  Our nutrition coach, Ruthie, might be called on to assist in this instance.  Also see Snoring, Sleep Apnea and Nasal Blockage.
