What Is Sinusitis – And How Can Chiropractic Help?

If you’ve ever felt pressure behind your eyes, a blocked nose that won’t clear, or a constant dull headache around your face—you might be dealing with sinusitis. It’s a common condition that affects millions of people every year and can significantly impact your comfort, breathing, energy, and even sleep.


While medications and surgery are often used, more people are now exploring natural alternatives like Cranial Facial Release (CFR)—a specialised chiropractic technique designed to support sinus health and drainage.


What Is Sinusitis?


Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinus cavities, usually caused by infection, allergies, or structural issues like a deviated septum. When the sinuses become inflamed, they swell up and produce excess mucus, leading to blockage and pressure build-up.

There are two main types:


  • Acute Sinusitis: Short-term (usually less than 4 weeks), often triggered by a cold or infection
  • Chronic Sinusitis: Long-term inflammation (lasting 12+ weeks), often recurring and resistant to medication


Common Symptoms of Sinusitis


  • Facial pressure or pain (especially around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead)
  • Nasal congestion or blocked nose
  • Headaches or heaviness in the head
  • Post-nasal drip or sore throat
  • Fatigue or poor sleep
  • Loss of smell or taste
  • Thick, discoloured nasal mucus


How Can Chiropractic Help with Sinusitis?


At Your Chiro, we take a holistic approach to treating sinus issues, focusing on both structural alignment and drainage. One of the most effective tools we use is Cranial Facial Release (CFR).


What Is Cranial Facial Release (CFR)?


CFR is an advanced chiropractic technique that works by gently adjusting the bones of the skull and face—particularly around the nasal cavity and sinus regions.

This is done using small, controlled balloon inflations inside the nasal passages. The goal is to release pressure, open up the sinus drainage pathways, and improve airflow.

Benefits of CFR for Sinusitis May Include:

✅ Reduced sinus pressure and congestion
✅ Improved breathing through the nose
✅ Fewer sinus infections or flare-ups
✅ Enhanced oxygen intake and energy
✅ Better sleep and reduced snoring

 ✅ Natural alternative to medications or surgery



Who Is CFR Suitable For?


  • People with chronic or recurring sinusitis
  • Those with facial pain or pressure
  • Individuals with a deviated septum or nasal blockages
  • Mouth breathers or frequent snorers
  • Patients looking for a non-invasive, drug-free solution


Don’t Let Sinusitis Drag You Down


If you're tired of feeling congested, blocked, or foggy-headed—and want a natural solution that addresses the root of the problem—Cranial Facial Release might be the answer you’ve been looking for.

At Your Chiro, we offer tailored chiropractic care to help you breathe easier and feel better—naturally.
