Massage

You may find that massaging the sinus areas relieves pain, pressure and headache. Massage may help your body’s ability to counter pain by producing endorphins. Massaging sinuses may also bring a fresh blood supply into the area. The State Board of Nursing regulates massage therapist licensing in New Jersey. To see if a massage therapist is licensed in New Jersey, you may call the State Board of Nursing at 973-504-6430. You can also visit the Consumer Affairs website to verify if a massage therapist is licensed. Currently Pennsylvania does not require licensing for massage therapists. However legislation is pending.
