What is sinusitis, sinus irritation and congestion?

29/3/2016

ChiroCure Clinic StKilda VIC 3183

Why am I experiencing sinus related symptoms?
The answer is that if your body is working properly, your resistance to germs, dust, temperature changes and other stresses is high. A healthy body has properly drained sinuses.

Does therapeutic treatment help?
Therapeutic treatment including massage therapy aims to relieve blocked sinus and fascial muscles that can cause blockages.
Techniques applied by our massage therapists include treatment to the head, face, neck and torso to ensure that the skull bones move freely and “breathe”, permitting body fluids to drain without interference.

What does treatment at ChiroCure involve?
Our therapy generally involves soft massage of the nose, forehead and cheeks, to release the pressure on the sinus cavities and allow for free drainage of fluids.

Our Practitioners helpful hints to help you avoid a sinus attack...

Wash your hands to avoid contracting colds
Maintain a balanced diet to prevent infection
Avoid alcohol and cigarettes, which stimulates sinus inflammation.
Maintain regular treatment to keep the immune system healthy.

** Prevention of sinus infection is much less painful and debilitating with massage treatment at ChiroCure Clinic!

Why should we drink more water...

The importance of drinking more water after your Chiro adjustemnts

Why water helps:

Hydration Help Remove Toxins from the body
Keeping properly hydrated is even more important for patients who undergo chiropractic treatments.
Patients may experience a variety of mild side effects for the first 24 hours following an adjustment, ranging from headache, to nausea, to dizziness. This is actually perfectly natural.
When the body is put into proper alignment from a chiropractic adjustment, it releases all the tension it has been holding.
At the same time, it will release various toxins that may have built up as a result of that tension.

Dr. Tania Leski recommends that patients keep hydrated following any chiropractic adjustment, as doing so will help eliminate toxins from the body more quickly. This will greatly cut down on the severity and length of time for any side effects from the adjustment.

Numerous studies have shown the importance of drinking water to maintain a healthy, well-balanced body.
It is important to stay hydrated to maintain proper kidney and digestive function, and remove waste and toxins from the body.
The human body is made up of 60 percent water, but every day some of this water is lost due to breathing, perspiration, and urination.
To replenish this supply, people should drink plenty of water.
Although there is no set rule for everyone, ChiroCure Clinic practitioners suggests an average of eight cups of water per day.

What can exercise do for you?

• Strong Body – Exercise helps strengthens joints and muscles all over body.

• Osteoporosis prevention – Regular exercise promotes bone formation and can help prevent bone loss associated with aging. Treatment with our chiropractors and remedial massage therapists, along with exercise can help prevent pain and stiffness in the body.

• Balance – Exercise improves your balance, and good balance will certainly help you avoid future injuries.

• Injury – Exercise is essential for overcoming injuries. Injuries prevent you from using the affected or weakened. Rehabilitation exercises alongside chiropractic adjustments at ChiroCure can help to strengthen the body, and restore proper balance.

• Rehab – While timely rehabilitation is very important, exercise can also help in coming back from old injuries. This process will not happen as quickly as immediate rehabilitation, but is well worth the time spent.

• Helps with Exercise – Before you start an exercise program, be sure to consult with ChiroCure practitioners for an individual exercise and stretching program. It is important to understand that some forms of exercise may slow down rehabilitation, or even make your problem worse. Make sure you speak to your ChiroCure doctor about rehabilitation (don’t rely on the fitness staff at the local gym)

• Weight and Posture – Exercise helps you maintain a healthy weight. This, in turn, contributes to good posture and the lessening of unnecessary stress on the body.

This is only a SMALL list of the benefits of exercise for health and rehabilitation.

Consult with our chiropractor - Dr Tania Leski or one of our remedial massage therapists at the clinic for correct advice when starting or modifying an exercise program tailored for your needs!

We offer customised rehabilitation exercise programs for a wide range of injuries that will accelerate your recovery and strengthen the injured area reducing the likelihood of relapses.
