Acupuncture with herbs and sometimes massage can help you get relief or even get rid of your chronic sinusitis.
We can use acupuncture to help prevent allergies from the coming season(s) and my treatments have even helped truck drivers as they pass through the nation’s farms & fields. Check with your primary and make sure the inflammation is not an emergent one.

Acupuncture is very helpful for Chronic Sinusitis, however quite a few needles will be applied to points around the nose, the functions of those points are to activate circulation to improve the lining functions and nerve endings/ sensors in the nostril, together to promote immunity and reduce inflammation. In general, Chinese herbs are very helpful for this condition with acupuncture, in our office, the personalized herbal formula will be recommended, and there are over 300 single herbs in our in-clinic herbal pharmacy, typically about 10- 15 herbs will be compounded to individual needs depending on the diagnosis. We hope this information is helpful, don't hesitate to call us or stop by for any further questions! Looking forward to seeing you in the clinic soon!

Yes, acupuncture can be very helpful for reducing the nasal congestion, pressure, pain and other symptoms involved in chronic sinusitis. The typical treatment protocol is once a week for 6-8 weeks, then space the treatments out until a good maintenance treatment is reached. Some of my chronic sinusitis patients come monthly (especially if they struggle with symptoms year round) and some come for treatment before the seasons change, to help keep flare ups at bay. Overall I've found acupuncture makes the symptoms less severe, and also reduces the frequency of flare ups.

Acupuncture is excellent for chronic sinusitis but first you want to check with your MD if you have other underlying medical conditions such as a deviated septum or sinus polyps that may be contributing to the sinusitis. Combining acupuncture with herbs and dietary therapy would be ideal. Dr. Miura
