Treating the broad spectrum Sinus and Nasal problems
Nasal and sinus problems affect more than thirty-eight million men, women and children every year - causing daily discomfort, reduced quality of life and absence from work and school. Due to the many advances in both medical and surgical treatment, nasal and sinus problems can be effectively addressed. Whatever the cause - allergies, infections or physical obstructions - constant or repeated nasal and sinus disorders can produce an array of discomforting symptoms: an itchy, runny or stuffy nose; sore throat; chronic fatigue; headaches; facial pain and much more. The good news is - you do not have to let it.
At the Emory Sinus, Nasal and Allergy Center, we have the expertise to address any nasal or sinus problem you may have. Just as functional nasal and sinus disease can negatively impact quality of life, so too can nasal appearance if it makes you self-conscious. Members of the Emory Facial Center can consult with you for aesthetic or reconstructive nasal surgery.
The Center provides diagnosis and treatment for:
