Your sinuses are located in your forehead, between your eyes, and in your cheeks. They drain into the nasal passages through narrow openings. When blockage occurs, the sinuses can back up and cause the most common symptoms of sinusitis: nasal congestion and drainage in the nose or throat. Sinus pressure and headaches are also common. If this becomes a long lasting or recurrent problem, this may be a clue that medications are only treating the symptoms and ignoring the cause of the blockage.

At the Nose and Sinus Center, Dr Becker can do a fiber-optic evaluation of your nose and sinuses to pinpoint the problem, and he can show you the specific problem on a video screen. Then he will discuss treatment options. Recent technology has made these treatments more effective, safer, and more comfortable than ever before.
