Balloon Sinuplasty is a real solution for Chronic Sinusitis, and it’s available in our Edina Office!

Balloon Sinus Dilation: Fast, Safe, Long-lasting Relief from Sinus Pain and Misery

In the past, sinus surgery in the operating room was your only option for treatment of chronic sinusitis that failed to respond to medications.  But in 2005, an advanced, less invasive procedure became available that is clinically proven to improve your quality of life – Balloon Sinus Dilation (balloon sinuplasty).1     The technique was developed from the method that uses tiny balloons to unblock arteries in interventional cardiology.

Since 2005, more than 375,000 patients have been treated safely with balloon sinus dilation procedures.  Most chronic sinusitis patients report clinically meaningful improvement in sinus symptoms and quality of life through 2 years following their procedure.2

The steps of successful balloon sinuplasty.
  1. First, your doctor locates the sinus area to be drained.
  2. After carefully positioning the device, the doctor gently inflates the small balloon to dilate the treatment area.
  3. When the balloon is removed, your sinus passageways remain open to restore drainage and airflow.

The benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty include:

  1. Immediate and lasting relief – solves the anatomical problem that leads to chronic sinusitis
  2. Convenience and comfort -  performed in the office with local anesthesia
  3. Quick recovery – most patients return to normal activity in 24-48 hours 1
  4. Minimally invasive procedure – involves no cutting, removal of tissue or nasal packing
  5. Cost effectiveness – no hospital stay, general anesthesia or facility charges

You don’t have to live with sinus pain anymore.
Enjoy a real improvement in your quality of life!

"Can't thank them enough for helping me out.  I was joining the military, and the MEPS doc told me I had to go to a specialist or I can't pass my medical.  Everyone said I had to wait 3-4 weeks, but you guys got me in the same day!  It was extremely important because my job could be taken.  So I am in their debt.  THANK YOU!"
