Balloon Sinuplasty for Chronic Sinusitis

Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure that opens blocked sinus pathways and restores normal drainage. At SPRING ENT, this advanced technique is used to provide lasting relief for patients suffering from chronic sinusitis.

What Is Balloon Sinuplasty & When Should You Seek Treatment?

Balloon sinuplasty is a safe and effective alternative to traditional sinus surgery, used to treat chronic sinusitis that doesn’t improve with medication. Chronic sinusitis is marked by inflammation and blockage in the sinus cavities, often resulting in facial pressure, congestion, postnasal drip, and frequent infections.

You may be a candidate for balloon sinuplasty if you:

  • Experience sinus symptoms that last longer than 12 weeks
  • Have repeated sinus infections throughout the year
  • Feel facial pressure or fullness that doesn’t improve with antibiotics or nasal sprays
  • Prefer a non-surgical, outpatient treatment option

When medications and conservative treatments fail to provide relief, balloon sinuplasty can offer a low-risk, highly effective path to long-term symptom resolution.

How We Perform Balloon Sinuplasty at SPRING ENT:

At SPRING ENT, Dr. Paul Spring performs balloon sinuplasty as an in-office procedure using local anesthesia, minimizing discomfort and recovery time. During the procedure, a small balloon catheter is inserted into the blocked sinus passage. The balloon is gently inflated to expand the sinus opening, allowing trapped mucus to drain and air to flow freely.

Key benefits of balloon sinuplasty include:

  • Minimally invasive (no cutting or removal of tissue)
  • Short recovery time—most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours
  • No need for general anesthesia
  • High success rate and long-term relief

If you’ve been living with the frustrating symptoms of chronic sinusitis, balloon sinuplasty may be the solution that gets you back to breathing comfortably.
