Sinusitis
Sinusitis is the
inflammation of the lining of the membranes
of any of the
paranasal sinuses. This inflammation causes
a swelling of the mucus membrane which
begins to over-produce secretions. The
narrow channels that provide mucous drainage
become swollen and clogged. When this
happens, bacteria, which are always present
in our nasal cavity, multiply quickly and
cause infection. While the multiplication of
the bacteria cause infection, bacteria do
not cause sinusitis. What causes sinusitis
is the inflammation of the sinuses. Often,
the cause of the inflammation is the body's
inability to deal with something in the air.
Because the bacteria do not cause sinusitis,
antibiotics do not usually work.
Chiropractic treats the cause of the
sinusitis. Because the nervous system
controls the body's ability to fight
infection, chiropractic makes sure there is
no interference with the nervous system
through safe, gentle manipulation of the
spine.
Allergies
Allergies are a hypersensitive immune
system's reactions to normal antigens in the
environment. Allergens may be airborne,
substances in food, or chemicals. While
these allergens may normally be harmless,
when someone's immune system is compromised,
the body recognizes these as poison. The
hypersensitive immune system tries to
protect the body from these poisons but the
immune system has become overloaded.
When this overloading happens, the organs
that are responsible for eliminating waste
become inflamed and become easily irritated
when they come into contact with allergens
on both the outside and inside of the body.
Because all body functions are controlled by
the nervous system, any
interference to the flow of nerve energy
from the brain to the eliminative
organs can contribute to allergies. Instead
of treating symptoms by taking
medication for "temporary relief",
chiropractic works to normalize the body's
immune system with gentle spinal adjustments
to restore the flow of nerve energy.
