Allergies are a leading cause of sinus pain in all weather. While spring and fall may be worse for some people due to high pollen counts, cold weather also comes with its fair share of allergens, including dust and danger, which can accumulate more quickly in cold weather when pets and people spend more time indoors and under blankets.To avoid triggering your winter [..]

What is Turbinate Reduction?

Turbinate reduction is a procedure in which a needle-like instrument is inserted into the turbinate and energy is transmitted to the tissue to cause controlled damage. By the time the healing process occurs, the turbinates will be reduced, allowing improved airflow through the nose.

What Are Turbinates?

Turbinates are important structures in the nasal airway that are responsible for warming and humidifying the air we breathe in. There are three turbinates on each side of the nasal cavity:

  • Superior - very small
  • Middle - usually cover the sinus drainage pathways and provide a layer of protection
  • Inferior - largest of the turbinates that do the majority of the function of the turbinates (most important)

What To Expect from a Turbinate Reduction

  • Improved sleep quality and duration
  • Fewer headache
  • Improved breathing ability
  • Clear Sinuses
