Natural Sinus Relief in Clearwater, FL

Sinus pain and pressure can seriously impact your quality of life. Fortunately, whether you’re suffering from short-term stuffiness or a chronic sinus problem like sinusitis, chiropractic care can help.

Family Life Chiropractic offers natural sinus relief among our alternative health services. Here’s what you need to know about sinusitis and how we treat it at our office in Clearwater, FL.

What Is Sinusitis?

Sinusitis is an inflammatory condition of the sinuses, which are small, air-filled cavities behind your eyes, cheeks, and forehead.

The nasal cavity is connected by four sinuses, all with small openings. When these cavities become inflamed, it inhibits the natural drainage process, creating congestion, infection, and eventually sinusitis.

Sinusitis is common in both adults and children.

Sinusitis Symptoms

Sinusitis is usually the result of allergies or an upper respiratory infection. If cold-like symptoms persist or even worsen, you may have sinusitis. Symptoms of sinusitis include:

  • Discolored discharge from the nose
  • Nasal inflammation and blockage
  • Pain, tenderness around your cheeks, eyes, or forehead
  • Sinus headaches
  • High-temperature fever
  • Reduced sense of taste and smell
  • Ear and toothache

Acute sinusitis will typically clear up within a few weeks. However, the condition may last for three or more months in chronic cases. The exact cause of chronic sinusitis is unknown, but it’s often associated with adrenal problems, nasal polyps (growths), and weakened immune systems.

Because allergies commonly cause nasal congestion, many rely on over-the-counter medications, decongestants, or antibiotics to relieve their symptoms. That said, while these may help with temporary inflammation, they don’t address the root cause of the issue — offering minimal relief for those with chronic sinus problems.

How to Treat Sinusitis Naturally

Our Clearwater chiropractor, Dr. Jere, will use a combination of treatments to resolve your sinus issues. Your consultation also consists of a diagnostic chiropractic exam, health evaluation, and answers to your questions.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Dr. Jere is known for his ability to find the source of pain or a health condition. He uses various diagnostic techniques, like muscle testing, to pinpoint the cause of your sinus issues. Then, he’ll perform chiropractic adjustments specifically designed for your sinuses.

Because they’re part of your bone structure, Dr. Jere can adjust your facial bones to improve sinus drainage. He can also treat sinusitis caused by misaligned vertebrae in your neck, relieving any painful congestion you have.

Nutritional Counseling

In addition to his education and experience in chiropractic medicine, Dr. Jere also has extensive nutritional training.

Some foods, such as flour, salt, sugar, and fried food, can impact your sinuses. Dr. Jere will work with you to create a nutrition program that supports your immune system and provide specific supplement recommendations to prevent future sinus infections.
