Fox Valley Ear, Nose & Throat Associates is one of the first in the area to offer an effective new treatment for chronic sinusitis (CRS) called FinESS™ Sinus Treatment. FinESS is a balloon sinuplasty option that breaks the cycle of chronic sinusitis with immediate relief and lasting results and is less-invasive than traditional sinus surgery.

Performed in a relaxed outpatient setting, FinESS is effective and results in less pain, bleeding and recovery time for the patient. FinESS does not require the removal of delicate bone and sinus tissue and uses local anesthetic with or without light sedation or general anesthesia. In most cases, patients are back to their normal routine within hours of the procedure. Published clinical study results demonstrate that FinESS is an effective treatment that keeps treated sinuses open with significant quality of life improvements.

Glen K. Lochmueller, M.D. of Fox Valley Ear, Nose & Throat Associates said, "The FinESS balloon sinuplasty treatment is an exciting new option for our patients who suffer from sinusitis symptoms despite antibiotics or nasal steroids or who are looking for an effective alternative to traditional sinus surgery. The results are lasting and the relief immediate."
