This time of year, people have a lot of sinus issues and there are several things that your chiropractor can do to help.
What helps sinus pressure and congestion?
If there is tension around the ear and eustachian tubes; it can create a backflow of lymph that makes your sinuses feel very clogged, so we can do an ear adjustment.
What is an ear adjustment?
An ear adjustment is when your chiropractor will manipulate the ear by hand, essentially causing it to “pop” and releasing the pressure and tension in the ear immediately.
Stuffy ears and the pain and discomfort that accompany ear congestion can feel agonizing. Whether you suffer from ear issues chronically, during allergy season, or cold season, our team at HealthWorks Family Chiropractic can offer relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does chiropractic care help sinus problems?
Gentle adjustments improve nerve function and lymphatic drainage around sinuses. Upper cervical alignment particularly affects facial nerves controlling sinus drainage, while reducing inflammation that blocks normal mucus flow.
HealthWorks’ precise upper cervical adjustments have helped many Plano patients find natural sinus relief.
Can spinal misalignment cause sinus pressure?
Yes, cervical spine misalignment disrupts nerve signals to sinus tissues, affecting drainage and immune response. This creates chronic congestion, pressure, and increased infection susceptibility even without obvious neck pain.
Our F3 examination identifies subtle misalignments contributing to your sinus issues for targeted treatment.
How many adjustments for sinus relief?
Many patients notice improvement within 2-4 visits, though chronic sinus issues may need 8-12 sessions for lasting relief. Individual response varies based on condition severity and how long problems have persisted.
Our gentle, no-crack technique makes sinus treatment comfortable even during active congestion or infections.
