Sinus Center of Excellence Sinusitis affects approximately 37 million people each year in the United States - that is more than heart disease and asthma! Dr. Henry Lipps and Dr. Kirby Scott are the pioneers in the community offering this new technology, using a small balloon to quickly open and expand blocked sinuses. This new procedure is completed during an outpatient visit at your Sinus Center of Excellence, Provena Covenant Medical Center. During the outpatient visit, a small, flexible balloon is placed through the nostril into the blocked sinus passageway. The balloon is then inflated to gently restructure and open the sinus passageway, restoring normal sinus drainage and functioning. Learn more about sinusitis today. If you feel your medication alone has not been effective in relieving your symptoms, you may be a candiate for balloon sinuplasty. For more information, please call our Otolarynogology physicians at 217.36NOSES. Learn More
