What Are Sinuses?
The sinuses are air-filled spaces behind the forehead, cheeks, and eyes. In healthy sinuses, mucus drains out and air is able to circulate. Sinusitis describes a swelling (inflammation) of the sinuses that can lead to blockages and prevent mucous from draining properly. This can lead to infection.
Colds, allergies, environmental irritants or other conditions can slow or block natural drainage, and irritate the sinus lining. This, in turn, can lead to swelling, additional blockage, and sinusitis.
We Treat Sinusitis in the SheaENT & Allergy Clinic
Sinusitis is a common condition that afflicts over 35 million Americans every year. |
Balloon Sinuplasty
This is an office procedure using a balloon catheter to open the sinus passages, which provides relief for chronic sinus patients, without the need for sinus surgery. Starting in 2001 with a little innovation and positive patient feedback, Shea ENT found that a simple balloon catheter placed in a sinus passage allowed complete resolution of sinus problems! Entellus® balloon catheter device provides superior dilation; Entellus® is used exclusively for our patients. |
