What Causes Chronic Sinusitis?
Chronic sinusitis is often caused by ongoing inflammation from nasal blockages, allergies, infections, or structural issues like a deviated septum.
These issues prevent proper drainage, leading to constant pressure, congestion, and fatigue.
Left untreated, it can drain your energy and impact your daily life. Get lasting relief—schedule your appointment today.
You don't have to settle for a life limited by sinus issues.

How Balloon Sinuplasty Works
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally-invasive procedure that opens blocked sinus passages to help you breathe more easily.
A small balloon is placed inside the nose and gently inflated to widen the sinus openings, allowing trapped mucus and pressure to drain.
It’s a quick treatment with little recovery time and no cutting involved.
Common Questions
How long does the procedure take and what’s the recovery like?
The entire procedure usually takes about 30 minutes, and most people are back to work or daily activities within 1–2 days. There’s no cutting, no stitches, and very little downtime.
Will insurance cover this procedure?
In most cases, yes. Balloon sinuplasty is covered by Medicare and most private insurance plans when medically necessary. Our team can help check your benefits.
Does balloon sinuplasty hurt?
Most patients report only momentary pain or pressure during the procedure. It's typically done with local anesthesia, so you may drive yourself home.
