Chronic sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus cavities. These cavities are hollow spaces in the bones around the nose that connect through small channels. When these channels are open, the sinuses can stay healthy. Sinus infections happen when viruses or bacteria cause the sinus cavities to become inflamed and fill with fluid. Sinus infections can be classified by duration: acute sinusitis lasts for four weeks or less, chronic sinusitis lasts more than twelve weeks, and recurrent sinusitis consists of several acute attacks within a year. Most acute cases of sinus inflammation eventually lead to a bacterial infection. Sinus problems do not have to impact your life any longer.

Traditional sinus surgery involves hospitalization, anesthesia, and extended recovery. These important factors have influenced more and more patients to seek better solutions. They are looking for solutions that are less invasive, have reduced risk, and lower out-of-pocket costs. Across the country, one of the most popular solutions for those seeking permanent relief, and for whom the OTC medications did nothing, is called Balloon Sinuplasty. Balloon Sinuplasty, also known as Balloon Sinus Dilation, is a safe, highly effective and simple office procedure that permanently enlarges sinus openings WITHOUT removing bone or tissue. Performed by Dr. Stewart, the procedure places a tiny sinus balloon where your sinuses are blocked. The sinus balloon is inflated, deflated and then removed, allowing proper airflow to return to your sinuses.

Allergies complicate life. If you’re reacting to allergens, how can you thoroughly enjoy each day? Not only will you feel stuffed with congestion and empty of energy, you very well may be putting your long-term health and happiness at-risk. For many sufferers of chronic or recurrent sinusitis (sinus infections) or chronic nasal congestion, allergies are a primary concern. Because of this, allergy testing has exploded in popularity to help those with sinus conditions rise above their symptoms and get the treatment they desperately seek. With the rise in allergy testing and an increase in allergy testing types, many providers have begun to overlook the importance of providing a comprehensive exam that can determine the root of an allergy issue. Because of this, it’s becoming more and more difficult to trust the allergy skin test results interpretation done outside of a professional ENT or Allergy specialist’s office. It’s also common to improperly diagnose the condition as having an allergy cause when really the culprit is reoccurring sinus infections. Finding Reliable Relief Through Allergy Testing
