Some of these former chronic sinusitis patients suffered repeated sinus infections, and many of them tried multiple sinus treatments, including over-the-counter (OTC) medications and antibiotics, before they experienced Balloon Sinuplasty. They have found symptom relief, better quality of life, and more active lifestyles following the procedure.
Here are just a few of the success stories shared by patients who have benefited from Balloon Sinuplasty. If you have a success story to tell, please share your story.
Marshall Faulk, NFL MVP, Superbowl Champion, Broadcaster
“After my NFL football career, when I wasn’t working out every day of my life, my sinus problems started to magnify. When I was at work broadcasting, I started having severe post nasal drip and started taking allergy medicine and using nasal pumps.
I was trying just about anything, all kinds of homeopathic remedies and teas. I literally tried it all. I tried a hyperbaric chamber to see if I could get more oxygen by sleeping in one of those things. None of it worked.
It’s crazy that it was such a simple procedure to get done, to fix something that I struggled with for a long time.
After surgery, there was not a lot of recovery time, and when I think about how I feel now and how I’m capable of breathing, it was an easy decision.
I tell others that Balloon Sinuplasty is a must!”
James C., Balloon Sinuplasty Patient
After his sinus symptoms got increasingly worse over a period of five years, James decided he needed to do something about it. He started with over-the-counter medications. When those ceased to work, he sought his doctor’s help. At first he visited his doctor twice a year, then four times, and eventually he was visiting him monthly in hopes of keeping his sinus symptoms in check.
Looking for a more long-lasting solution, James met with an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor and eventually had an in-office balloon sinuplasty procedure. Five months later, he couldn’t be happier with the results.
“The painful pressure in my face and headaches are gone,” James states, “It really made a difference in my life.”
