Balloon sinuplasty from your ENT specialist in Bend, OR, can help you breathe easier

Do you have trouble breathing? Do you feel as though there is a big weight in your sinuses? You could have a blockage in your sinus, or acute sinusitis. You can benefit from an easy, outpatient procedure known as balloon sinuplasty.

Dr. Ryan Gallivan at Northwest Sinus Center in Bend, OR, provides a wide range of ENT services, including balloon sinuplasty, to help you breathe easier.

If you suffer from recurring sinus problems, you are not alone. In fact, 12.3% of the population in this country have some degree of sinusitis, according to the Centers for Disease Control, or CDC.

Over-the-counter sinus treatments and saline rinses may help you get relief from occasional sinus problems, but for real relief, you need a permanent solution. You need balloon sinuplasty.

Balloon sinuplasty is an excellent solution to get relief from:

• Chronic nasal or sinus problems
• Sinus infections that don’t resolve
• Headaches around or behind your eyes
• Problems breathing through your nose
• Chronic bad breath due to mouth breathing

Balloon sinuplasty uses a thin tube which has a small balloon at one end. The tube is inserted into your nostril and guided up into your sinus. If the balloon encounters resistance, the balloon is inflated, clearing out your sinus. Then, the balloon is simply deflated and the tube is removed.

Balloon sinuplasty is an outpatient procedure that offers many advantages, including:

• Treatment is minimally invasive
• There are no incisions, sutures, or scarring
• There is less pain and risk of infection
• There is minimal swelling and bruising, which means minimal downtime for you
