My son is 23 yrs old. constant stuffy nose and dizziness for 4 months now. been to see ENT several times, treated first for inner ear infection, both bacterial/viral and also has taken steriods(Zpac). all to no avail. Dr told him he has a couple of small polyps in nasal passage after vertigo tests and MRI but removing them may not fix the problem? He is an artist and has been developing his own photos for nearly 7 years now so i have much concern

 

Optional Information:
Male, Age: 23, Arizona

Already Tried:
Zpac,nasacortAQ,clarinex,antibiotics and steriodal nose spray

Hello, rock,

Sometimes there is a problem with the sinuses and nasal passageways draining due to a blockage or malfunction of the cranial bones, jaw and/or facial bones.

 

It may benefit your son to see a good chiropractor or therapist who specializes in cranial work..cranio-sacral therapy or the like. It would be good if the chiropractor also has knowledge of kinesiology, or muscle-testing, as well...that way, he can evaluate the results of his work right there in the office.

To find such a therapist, contact:

Cranial Academy

Also there are small nasal irrigation machines available that can be used to clear out the nasal passages and sinuses. I like the Grossan Hydro-Pulse system...you can get the whole system and the salts used for irrigation for around $90. There are cheaper systems as well that can be obtained at various department stores.

Good luck to you and I hope this is helpful.
