Sinus Technique:  Is a non-surgical technique that cleans out the dry mucus build- up in the six sinus cavities (three on each side of the face).  This technique is very safe and effective from children age four to adulthood. The procedure consist of the use of a small balloons in nature which is inflated with a small hand air pump.  The balloons are slightly lubricated for patient comfort. The result are usually immediately which the sinus air passes open up. The patient will normally need a follow up treatment in about a week or two afterwards.  The follow ups and the treatment frequency depends, if the patient was having chronic sinus or allergies problems.

The concept of the dry mucus build up and how this build up stop the natural sinus hair follicles (filtration system) from catching  pollen, dirt, smoke, and etc..., can be compared to a clogged drain (sink), when the “backup” of the drain is cleared your drain work properly, the same is when your sinus cavities are build-up is removed your sinus will work properly.

There are some alternative treatments that are more invasive for example laser surgery which removes the mucus build-up plus hair follicles and leaves scar tissue, the other procedure is done with a surgical scalpel that scrapes the mucus build-up plus the hair follicles roots, and also leaves chronic scar tissue.

When the scar tissue is there the mucus builds up again.
