What is Chronic Sinusitis?

Get Relief From Your Symptoms

Chronic sinusitis, or chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), manifests through persistent symptoms like nasal congestion, facial pain, headaches, and postnasal drip that last for at least three months. These symptoms are a consequence of continuous inflammation in the sinuses and nasal passages, the hollow spaces within the head.

  • Voice: CRS can lead to changes in voice quality and severely affect a person's confidence and self-esteem.
  • Breathing: Breathing difficulties can also arise, potentially progressing into asthma development.
  • Asthma: Notably, adult-onset asthma often traces back to chronic sinusitis because the respiratory system is interconnected.
  • Inflammation: Inflammation in the upper airway and nose, such as in sinusitis, can initiate and worsen inflammation in the lungs, leading to asthma.
  • Energy: CRS also has a significant impact on energy levels, with fatigue ranking as the third most frequently reported symptom, sometimes misdiagnosed as depression or chronic fatigue syndrome.
  • Sleep: Sleep disturbances caused by CRS further exacerbate fatigue, affecting one's overall well-being.

An effective Chronic Sinusitis Treatment in Torrance not only relieves the condition's primary symptoms but can also lead to improvements in related health issues, including asthma, other breathing problems, fatigue, and chronic cough.

What types of Chronic Sinusitis treatments are available?

And which treatment is right for you?

Dr. Brian Modena uses a highly individualized approach for his Torrance Chronic Sinusitis Treatments, recognizing the condition's considerable variability in cause and presentation. The term 'chronic sinusitis' has essentially evolved into a broad, non-specific diagnosis encompassing numerous subgroups, and the initial step in addressing chronic sinusitis involves identifying the specific 'type' of inflammation present, which determines the course of treatment.

One prevalent type of inflammation is known as "Type 2" inflammation, which is responsible for allergic reactions and related conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, and asthma. The identification of Type 2 inflammation relies on advanced techniques, including genetic markers, clinical history, inflammatory breathing tests, and laboratory analysis. Innovative therapies, such as monoclonal antibody treatments, are designed to target the causes of chronic sinusitis, such as Type 2 inflammation, directly and effectively.
