Nasal Valve Treatments
DO YOU SUFFER FROM NASAL AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION ?
Do you have trouble breathing through your nose? If so, you may be suffering from a common and often undiagnosed condition called nasal airway obstruction, or "NAO
What Causes Nasal Airway Obstruction?
NAO is caused by an anatomical narrowing or blockage in the nasal airway that can hinder airflow and make it feel difficult or nearly impossible to breathe through your nose. People with nasal airway obstruction talk about feeling “blocked,” congested, or stuffy nearly all the time. Home remedies and medications can offer some temporary comfort, but for those struggling with chronic nasal obstruction, remodeling the nasal airway is a proven way to find lasting relief
Common Symptoms of Nasal Obstruction:
-
Trouble breathing through your nose, or a “blocked” feeling
-
Nasal congestion

Difficulty sleeping, leading to fatigue
-
Struggling to breathe through your nose during exercise
