Sinus and respiratory problems can be debilitating – especially when they are a chronic problem. Traditional medicine has deemed chronic sinus and respiratory health problems as incurable conditions for which doctors can only provide symptomatic relief. But we believe that the secret to resolving these conditions is in a holistic approach, rather than countless antibiotics and over-the-counter medications. Sinusitis and other chronic respiratory health issues are always caused by inflammation. Our goal is to pinpoint the source of our patients’ inflammation, which is often the underlying cause of sinusitis.

If I have chronic sinusitis, what can I expect from treatment in your health program?
Our chronic sinusitis and respiratory health program is a process of healing. Based on your symptoms and the frequency of your condition, we may begin by eliminating known trigger foods and increasing your intake of natural foods and supplements known for their anti-inflammatory properties. We may also suggest a detox to eliminate toxins that may have accumulated in your tissues, as well as acupuncture to open the sinuses and alleviate congestion.

We find that a healthy lifestyle is conducive to a healthy body. We may recommend that you change the way you eat, adopt better sleep habits, and start to exercise on a regular basis. We may also suggest that you take up a daily sinus hygienic regimen, as well as take steps to improve the quality of the air in your home.
