Sinus Pain Treatment in Bergen County, NJ

Natural Relief for Pressure, Congestion & Headaches

Sinus pain and pressure can affect your breathing, focus, and overall comfort. At The Spine & Health Center of NJ, we look at both sinus function and the muscular tension in the face, neck, and upper back that can worsen symptoms. Our approach blends acupuncture, soft-tissue work, and gentle musculoskeletal care to help relieve congestion and restore natural drainage.

Understanding Sinus Pain

Sinus pain can feel like a deep, throbbing pressure behind the eyes, cheeks, forehead, or nose — often making it hard to breathe, focus, sleep, or function normally throughout the day. Whether triggered by allergies, inflammation, infection, weather changes, or structural issues, sinus discomfort can be persistent and frustrating.

At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, we approach sinus pain from a whole-body perspective. Our team focuses on relieving pressure, improving drainage, reducing inflammation, and addressing muscular or structural factors that may worsen sinus symptoms — including tension in the neck, jaw, face, and upper back.

Common Causes of Sinus Pain

Sinus inflammation (sinusitis)
Allergies or seasonal changes
Deviated septum or structural sinus issues
Chronic congestion
Mucus buildup restricting drainage
Facial muscle tension
TMJ dysfunction
Neck and upper-back muscular tightness
Stress-related clenching or jaw pressure
Environmental irritants

Common Symptoms

Pressure or pain around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead
Headaches or facial tension
Congestion or postnasal drip
Reduced sense of smell
Pain that worsens with bending forward
Ear fullness or popping
Tenderness along the jaw or facial muscles
Tightness in the neck and upper shoulders
Fatigue or difficulty concentrating

If symptoms persist for more than a week or return frequently, professional treatment can help address the underlying causes.

How We Treat Sinus Pain at The Spine & Health Center of NJ

We address sinus pain through a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on drainage, relaxation, inflammation reduction, and musculoskeletal balance.

1. Acupuncture

Highly effective for reducing sinus pressure, improving drainage, relieving headaches, and calming inflammation.

2. Chiropractic Care

Adjustments to the neck and upper back can improve nerve function, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pressure that may affect sinus flow.

3. Soft-Tissue Therapy (ART, Myofascial Release)

Releases tension in the face, jaw, neck, and shoulders — all of which can contribute to sinus tightness and headaches.

4. Cupping or Manual Lymphatic Drainage Techniques

Helps promote circulation and encourages natural sinus drainage, reducing facial pressure and congestion.

5. Functional Movement and Postural Assessment (SFMA)

Poor posture can restrict airflow and increase neck tension, worsening sinus symptoms.

6. Stress & Tension Management

Stress often leads to jaw clenching and upper-back tightness, which can intensify sinus pressure.
