Balloon sinuplasty promoted as treatment for chronic sinusitis

A medical provider promoted balloon sinuplasty as an innovative procedure for treating chronic sinusitis, describing it as a nonsurgical option that does not require incisions, cutting, removal of bone or tissue, or packing.

The source says sinusitis affects 37 million Americans annually. While medications may help many people, some require additional procedures to relieve their symptoms.

According to the source, balloon sinuplasty generally involves less pain, risk of infection, blood loss, bruising and swelling than traditional sinus surgery. It also says many patients can return to normal activities in less time.

The source encourages people interested in the treatment to call 662.844.6513 to make an appointment and determine whether it may be appropriate for their sinus problems.
