Near Alabaster, AL
Should you get Balloon Sinuplasty?
Sinus pressure, pain, and headaches are often the sign of inflamed sinus passages. These symptoms, if severe enough, can lead to chronic sinusitis. This build-up of fluid in the nasal passages results in severe pain and pressure around the nose and head, sometimes making it impossible to function in your daily activities. Chronic sinusitis is often difficult to manage and requires you to take various types of medication. In even more severe cases, chronic sinusitis can require surgery for you to have lasting relief.
