Not all sinus complaints are allergic or infectious.
Some of them are neurogenic in nature. The trigeminal nerve supplying the sinuses becomes hypersensitive and reacts to all different things, such as allergens, temperature changes, pressure changes, use of CPAP, etc. The upper cervical nerves (in the neck) through Trigemino-cervical complex in the brainstem, may affect the functioning of the trigeminal nerve and other nerves supplying the sinuses. This may be the biological explanation of why corrective neck exercises may influence sinus symptoms via changing the sensitivity of the nerves. Once the mechanical issue in the neck is corrected, the sensitivity of the nerves supplying the sinuses decreases and thereby its symptoms.
