Nasal & Sinus Problems
Nasal & Sinus Care
The nose has many functions. It acts as a filter for our lungs; warms, cool and moisturize the air we breathe. Sinuses are hollow air pockets within our face. They have to be clear for drainage and any infection, inflammation and allergies can block the sinuses and cause problems. Nasal passages may be obstructed due to a deviated septum or swollen turbinates from allergies or infections. Careful examination with or without the fiberoptic endoscope will help in promoting good sinus care. Diagnostic x-rays or CAT scan may be utilized for further evaluation. Sinus lavage or Proetz can be used for the cleaning of the nasal and sinus passages
If you suffer from sinus problems, you’re in good company. Millions of people are troubled by blocked sinuses. Sinus problems that do not respond well to medication may be treated successfully with endoscopic sinus surgery. This is a technique that allows your doctor to clearly see and operate inside your sinuses
