Stop the sinus pain with Balloon Sinuplasty

There are three types of patients that can be helped with balloon sinuplasty. Patients with chronic sinusitis, infection lasting for more than three months are good candidates. Studies show that about 94% can have a successful resolution after this treatment. Patients with recurring sinus infection, having 5 or more per year, can also benefit. Studies show a dramatic reduction in the frequency of sinus infections, doctor visits, and antibiotic treatment after balloon sinuplasty. Lastly, patients with chronic sinus headaches only temporarily relieved by allergy therapy and decongestants are also candidates. Even migraine sufferers that are triggered by sinus pressure can get great relief. Daniel Slaughter, MD
