Fox Valley Ear, Nose & Throat Associates Now Offers FinESS Sinus Treatment for Chronic Sinusitis

Less-invasive FinESS balloon sinuplasty breaks cycle of sinusitis with immediate
relief and lasting results
ST. CHARLES, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Fox Valley Ear, Nose & Throat Associates is one of the first in the area to
offer an effective new treatment for chronic sinusitis (CRS) called FinESS Sinus
Treatment. FinESS is a balloon sinuplasty option that breaks the cycle of
chronic sinusitis with immediate relief and lasting results and is less-invasive
than traditional sinus surgery.

Performed in a relaxed outpatient setting, FinESS is effective and results in
less pain, bleeding and recovery time for the patient. FinESS does not require
the removal of delicate bone and sinus tissue and uses local anesthetic with or
without light sedation or general anesthesia. In most cases, patients are back
to their normal routine within hours of the procedure. Published clinical study
results demonstrate that FinESS is an effective treatment that keeps treated
sinuses open with significant quality of life improvements.

Glen K. Lochmueller, M.D. of Fox Valley Ear, Nose & Throat Associates said, "The
FinESS balloon sinuplasty treatment is an exciting new option for our patients
who suffer from sinusitis symptoms despite antibiotics or nasal steroids or who
are looking for an effective alternative to traditional sinus surgery. The
results are lasting and the relief immediate."

The Fox Valley Ear, Nose & Throat Associates include Lochmueller, M.D., David S.
