San Antonio, TX – February 20, 2017 – A small balloon is giving significant breathing relief so people across the country. Balloon sinuplasty uses a small balloon on a catheter to open the sinus cavities and wash out stocked-up sinuses.
“The beauty of this procedure is that it’s something that’s changed for good,” Dr. Paul Fulmer of Texan Allergy& Sinus Center said. “You’re literally changing the anatomy in such a way that it’s not something you have to redo.”
Millions of people suffer from sinus pain and could find relief through this procedure. You’re able to live through sinus pain and misery, but it’s going to cause a lot of missed work and antibiotics.
This simple procedure is done in-office with local anesthesia, and many patients are back to work the next day.
