This is the most common complaint of any patient with allergies.
Being able to breathe comfortably through your nose is never appreciated as much as when it is gone.
A day with a cold or bad allergies is miserable. A sleepless night and a sore throat from mouth breathing in the morning. That’s followed by a groggy day with half the energy you normally have.
The world doesn’t slow down for you to mouth breathe and blow your nose trying to get enough air to be comfortable.
Even your daily workout seems impossible without the oxygen you need to meet the challenge.
Imagine having that cold year round. That’s the feeling that people have with chronic swelling of their turbinates. Those little structures in your nose that are supposed to filter and warm the air you breathe can swell in many people to fill the entire passage.
Rather than helping you, they block all the airflow you need.
When allergy therapy doesn’t work, there is a simple office based procedure that can help.
Like liposuction can take away unwanted fat, turbinate reduction can shrink your turbinates back to normal size. You can breathe clearly and naturally right after the procedure. No down time or pain medicine required.
If congestion is holding you back, consider office-based turbinate reduction as a safe and simple solution.
