Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / January 2005Vibration Therapy
After 2 colds this Fall I finally got a sinus infection. And boy does it hurt! i forgot that pain after 2 yrs of no infections. My teeth and eye socket hurt so bad, when I remembered something someone said about HUMMING breaking up and relieving pressure in the sinuses, I thought Id try using a "vibration device" on my sinuses and jaw. It made me, at first, sneeze several times and then my nose started dripping and now Im opened up. Just passing this on.....

I'm glad it worked for you but for some people with marginally-attached retinas etc. there might be a danger of the vibration causing the retina to detach or some such untoward occurence. > After 2 colds this Fall I finally got a sinus infection. > And boy does it hurt!

Sometimes vibrating the side on the nose or nostril will provoke a productive sneeze but it usually gets fluids flowing out of my sinuses. I rarely use this technique alone. Irrigation is my first resort but when nothing else works, this is often effective. George > After 2 colds this Fall I finally got a sinus infection. > And boy does it hurt!

Signaturepreesi ~~~~~~~~~ My Websites: http://tinyurl.com/yvw45 Where I Hang Out: http://www.there.com My Pogo and AIM name: PreesiGirl (Come play with me) Important to understand why this works. At a certain frequency the mucus and the cliia are moved. Its like soldiers marching in step over a bridge, at a certain frequency the bridge will vibrate. To help you understand this better, read about the Flutter device - its like a Kazoo that helps vibrate the chest. If you get the right frequencey you shake up the thick mucus. You can do this by humming. YOu can also purchase a 75 cents Kazoo and try that. By placing your fingers along side your nose, it helps to find the best frequency - low note or higher note of your humming.

Welcome back, Preesi! It's been a long time! Actually, specialists in lung disease have often prescribed a so-called "Flutter Device" which sets up vibrations in your lungs to clear out the phlegm down there. These devices are used by people who have chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, etc. So I'm not surprised that vibration would break up the congestion in the sinuses too. SignatureSteven D.

I forgot that it hurts so much!

Signaturepreesi ~~~~~~~~~ My Websites: http://tinyurl.com/yvw45 Where I Hang Out: http://www.there.com My Pogo and AIM name: PreesiGirl (Come play with me) I lost most of my smell a few years ago, so I read anything that pretains to smell. But, this is too good to pass up! To quote: > Oh and BTW Steven? > Did you ever get your smell back? Oh, Heavens, could this thread expand on that theme!

[Don't go there, don't go there, don't go there.... :-) ] My sense of smell did return--it took over 6 months after I stopped using Zicam. In the meantime, Zicam has been hit with a bunch of lawsuits from other users of their product who lost their sense of smell too--some of them permanently. SignatureSteven D.

Something made me afraid to use it, then you said you lost your sense of smell over it so I tossed it out. Signaturepreesi ~~~~~~~~~ My Websites: http://tinyurl.com/yvw45 Where I Hang Out: http://www.there.com My Pogo and AIM name: PreesiGirl (Come play with me) Steve is correct again. The flutter device sets a vibration that helps the lungs and might help the nose. You can try a kazoo and see if that helps - the lower the vibration in tone the better.
