What are sinuses?
Sinuses are air-filled pockets that surround the nose. Each sinus has an opening through which mucus drains. Chronic sinusitis sufferers do not experience the normal drainage which keeps the sinus healthy. Cycles of medications can be costly and conventional sinus surgery can be painful. Dr. Lanza has been performing Balloon Sinuplasty for several years with great success.

Common Signs and symptoms:
Facial pain, pressure, congestion or fullness
Difficulty breathing through the nose
Discharge of yellow or green mucus from the nose
Teeth pain
Loss of the sense of smell or taste
Headaches Fatigue
Sore throat
Bad breath
