Symptoms can develop from allergies, nasal polyps, a deviated septum or the common cold, among other factors. Sinusitis is similar to many other disorders, so it\u2019s important to see an otolaryngologist prior to starting treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile allergy\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balloon Sinuplasty Can Provide Relief<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One option for treating sinusitis is a Balloon Sinuplasty, which is minimally-invasive in-office procedure. Since 2005, more than 375,000 patients have successfully received this treatment. During a Balloon Sinuplasty procedure, our provider will place a small balloon through your nose to expand blocked sinus openings. Balloon Sinuplasty is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery \u2014 no bone or tissue will be removed from your nose during the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gVdxcRDoNmk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch Video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"440\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/stcloudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/iStock-1250031442-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1768 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stcloudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/iStock-1250031442-1.jpg 440w, https:\/\/stcloudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/iStock-1250031442-1-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"site-bio-section allergy\"><svg class=\"ov-top-mask\" width=\"1918\" height=\"325\" viewBox=\"0 0 1918 325\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M1918 324.844V0H0C0 0 316.171 138.126 582.393 203.732C1076.4 325.472 1918 324.844 1918 324.844Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<svg class=\"ov-top-accent\" width=\"1920\" height=\"463\" viewBox=\"0 0 1920 463\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M0 1C0 1 226.331 238.1 809.756 355.306C1393.18 472.512 1920 461.74 1920 461.74\" stroke=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<div class=\"bio-section-inner-wrapper\"><h2 class=\"bio-list-header\">Meet Our Team<\/h2><div class=\"js-intersect site-bio-list \">\n\t\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/stcloudent.com\/bio\/ronald-d-hanson\/\" class=\"site-bio-link\"><figure class=\"site-bio-image\" style=\"--i:1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/stcloudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/hanson-200x250-1.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-bio_thumbnail size-bio_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><span class=\"site-bio-label\"><span class=\"site-bio-name\">Ronald D.
