At Chiropractic Associates of Murfreesboro, our experienced chiropractors and specialists can determine the underlying cause of your sinus headaches. We can then design a chiropractic headache treatment plan that addresses headaches caused by pollen and other allergens. Here is a look at what to expect when you visit us for treatment.

Chiropractic Adjustments to Alleviate Sinus Pain

Chiropractic adjustments can relieve sinus pain and pressure. Dr. Tara Daniel or Dr. Jim Daniel will carefully determine where to provide controlled force in order to restore proper function to the spine, muscles, and other structures of the body. Our adjustments improve lymphatic drainage, which rids the body of toxins and allergens that can block the sinuses. We can also improve the alignment of the cervical spine and sinus bones to reduce irritation and inflammation.

Sinus Massage

Our experienced massage therapists offer sinus massage to alleviate sinus pain, pressure, and inflammation. Sinus massage can drain mucus buildup and restore circulation throughout the sinus cavities. Sinus massage also promotes lymphatic drainage and improves respiration.

Diet and Nutrition Counseling to Reduce Allergen Exposure

Headaches are often caused by exposure to pollen and other environmental allergens. However, headaches can also be caused by food allergies and sensitivities. We can assess your symptoms and diet to determine if your headaches or migraines are caused by any common food sensitivities or allergies. The most common foods and beverages associated with headaches and migraines are peanuts, eggs, milk, nitrates, tannins, and shellfish. We will help you design a healthy, balanced diet that limits or prevents your exposure to foods and beverages that trigger headaches or migraines.

Lifestyle Modification

Lifestyle modification counseling can help you avoid common headache triggers, particularly environmental triggers. Common environmental headache triggers are dust, mold, pollen, plants, and pets. By assessing your daily routine and helping you make careful adjustments, we can help you reduce your exposure to allergens that are causing sinus headaches. We will take a detailed medical history, ask you questions about your home and work environment, and discuss your exercise routine, commute, and daily routine. We may recommend that you change your sleep habits, change when and where you exercise, and make adjustments to your home and work environments.
