One of the most miserable feelings you can have is when your nose is stuffy and you can’t seem to get any relief. Despite your best efforts to clear your nose, it seems that the pressure will not subside. Congestion can make it hard to breathe, smell, and can even affect your ears. To make matters worse, these symptoms are usually accompanied by drainage that drips down the back of your throat which can lead to coughing and a sore throat. When these spaces inside your nose and head (also known as your sinuses) become inflamed, the condition is called sinusitis. When symptoms persist for longer than 3 months, you may have chronic sinusitis.
Some choose to “tough out” the symptoms of sinusitis, but if you suffer from chronic sinusitis or experience inflamed sinuses frequently, you may be looking for a solution to your ailments. Over-the-counter remedies are usually the go-to for symptom management, but they are far from a long-term solution. Fortunately, there is a drug-free alternative that can help keep your sinus pain at bay and is a much better option for long-term care.
Acupuncture can help clear blockages within your body, making it a perfect solution to sinusitis. There are hundreds of acupuncture points on the body, but only certain points have been proven to help patients find relief from sinus pressure. When you come in for your acupuncture session, your practitioner will be able to assess which points will be most effective based on the symptoms you present.
