Sinus Pressure Points

The sinus is a hallow chamber within the bone structures of the skull. There are four sinuses in the skull, namely: frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses. The sinuses functions to lighten the weight of the head and aids in phonation of words and sounds. Notice that if your sinuses are clogged your head feels to heavy and that there is a change in the tone of your voice. Frontal and maxillary sinuses are considered both major sinuses and symmetrically in pairs. The sinus pressure points can be found on both your cheeks, which is approximately the site of the maxillary sinuses, and the area above your eyebrows, which is approximately the site of the frontal sinuses. When you have sinusitis, one or more of your sinuses are clogged and filled with fluids and transudates. Thus this condition would cause slight pain when the skin areas are touched or pressed.
