Has anyone tried acupuncture for sinus related problems? I have a feeling of thickness in my throat, particuarily during mid-summer into October (a la Chicago) which I have attributed in the past to post-nasal drip/allergies. The ENT says that the nodes & chords look fine. It is a frustrating & uncomfortable feeling & I also have a lot of noise in my voice when I start singing which usually takes 15-20 minutes of vocalizing & singing to clear up. Any other suggestions would be welcome too!
Thanks!
