Success Story

Margaret has helped me in so many ways. I just recently saw her for a sinus infection and my results were again outstanding, my infection was gone the next morning! Her care and attention to detail are outstanding. I might also add that I have stopped taking allergy medication since receiving acupuncture on a regular basis.

How Does Acupuncture Treat Sinus Headaches and Recurrent Sinus Infections?

Sinus headache treatment with acupuncture is focused on points related to the sinuses. One of these points is called Bitong and is a specific point that helps manage the pain caused by sinusitis. Other acupuncture points for sinus congestion are located far from your sinuses, on your arms and legs!

There are additional points that can promote

  • Drainage
  • Reduce mucus production
  • Provide pressure relief

Acupuncture point selection is based on your specific diagnosis. Most of our patients find fast relief from sinus pressure and pain.

Acupuncture, at its core, works through the correction of imbalances in your body. Sinus headaches and many other types of headaches develop when there is a disruption in the natural balance of your body. Our treatment approach focuses on correcting the imbalance and allowing the body to heal itself.

A central concept of acupuncture is to correct problems by improving circulation. We base treatment on the following principles:

  • Your body is connected via a network of channels that need to circulate freely to protect you from illness and keep sinuses clear.
  • Qi (vital life force) circulates through these channels, helping nourish and protect your body.
  • Illness can develop when qi doesn’t flow or there is too little qi.

Acupuncture works by neural reconditioning local areas of your body to reduce inflammation and restore proper communication. Acupuncture boosts immunity, regulates your nervous system and assists your endocrine system. At the cellular level, acupuncture works to reduce pain and heal inflamed tissue.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

At your first visit, we will go over your symptoms and health history to determine if you are a candidate for care. Then we will recommend a customized treatment plan with just the right combination of acupuncture therapies that work best for your unique symptoms. You may receive treatment on your first visit.

Treatment frequency will vary based on your specific condition however, most people start with up to three visits per week for the first couple of weeks then move to two visits per week. Once you are improving between the visits, we reduce the frequency until you are on once per month maintenance visits. Patients who follow this protocol achieve long lasting results with even the most chronic and stubborn sinus conditions.

How Soon Will I See Results?

Most patients report improvement after several weeks of care. Remember, chronic sinus headache has been with you for some time and pain relief can depend on many variables such as the cause of your pain, your current health status, medications, diet and lifestyle. Rest assured, we see at least an 85% success rate for our patients receiving acupuncture for sinus headaches.
