Sinus Center of Excellence

The latest treatment for sinusitis

Sinusitis is one of the most common chronic health problems in the U.S., afflicting millions of Americans each year. East Tennessee can be particularly difficult for anyone suffering from sinusitis and allergies. In fact, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America consistently ranks Knoxville as one of the country’s top Allergy Capitals, an annual research project that identifies the 100 most challenging places to live with allergies.

Advanced treatment with Balloon Sinuplasty^™

Living with headaches, congestion, fatigue, and other symptoms of sinusitis can have a serious impact on quality of life. The Sinus Center of Excellence at Turkey Creek Medical Center offers the latest technology and treatments for chronic sinusitis, including minimally invasive Balloon Sinuplasty^™.

During the procedure, small, flexible devices are inserted into the nostrils to gently open blocked sinus openings — in many cases without tissue or bone removal. Balloon Sinuplasty provides a safe, effective option to relive symptoms of sinusitis and offers several benefits:

Reduced bleeding – Since often there is no need to remove tissue or bone, there is less bleeding and a reduced need for uncomfortable nasal packing.
Quicker recovery – While recovery time varies for each individual, many people can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Does not limit other options – Balloon Sinuplasty can be used with other medical therapies or sinus surgery techniques, and does not limit future treatment options for those with progressive disease.
