Lakewood Chiropractor | Lakewood chiropractic care | CO | Sinus Headaches

If you’ve ever suffered from a sinus headache, you almost instantly recognize what it is as soon as it starts. You feel congested and stopped up. There is pressure in your head, your cheeks, and in, around and behind your eyes. Your nose often becomes stuffy, and it may even run. Another sinus headache!

Sinus headaches are associated with a deep and constant pain in the cheekbones, forehead, or bridge of the nose. The pain usually intensifies with sudden head movement or straining. The pain is usually accompanied by other sinus symptoms, such as nasal discharge, feeling of fullness in the ears, fever, and facial swelling.

It is a misconception that allergies cause sinus headaches. However, allergies can cause sinus congestion, which can lead to headache pain. If you have allergies, the treatment for your allergy will not relieve your headache pain. The two conditions generally must be treated separately.

Allergies and viral upper respiratory infections increase nasal secretions and cause tissue lining the nasal passages to swell. This results in nasal congestion and stuffiness. The nasal passages become blocked and normal drainage cannot occur. Secretions that are trapped in the sinuses may become infected with bacteria or, rarely, fungus. The swollen tissue or infection may create pain and pressure.

What can a chiropractor in Lakewood do for Headaches?

Dr. Jumper at Renew Chiropractic in Lakewood has had considerable success relieving the cause of headache pain and releasing headache sufferers in Lakewood from the dangerous vicious circle of taking ever-larger doses of ever-stronger painkillers and antihistamines that may even be causing new and worse headaches.

Chiropractic Biophysics adjustments (CBP) and 3-dimensional mirror image exercises have shown to be as effective and even more effective than medications in reducing the severity and frequency of headaches. Dr. Jason Jumper at Renew Chiropractic in Lakewood is particularly successful dealing with sinus headaches. Even though sinus headaches and other tension-type headaches may not actually involve stress or muscle tension, Dr. Jason Jumper’s ability to adjust spinal abnormalities, Forward Head Posture, seems to lessen or remove the nerve interference contributing too many individuals in Lakewood with headache pain.
