LATERA for Nasal Airway Obstruction in Suwanee, GA
What Is Nasal Airway Obstruction?
Nasal Airway Obstruction (NAO) is a condition in which the nasal passages are blocked and prevent a normal or comfortable amount of air from passing through the nose. NAO affects more than 20 million Americans and can occur because of a structural abnormality in the nose or because of inflammation and swelling of the nasal passages. With nasal breathing delivering approximately 70% of airflow to the lungs, any blockage that limits airflow can cause significant quality-of-life consequences.
