Cryotherapy for Chronic Rhinitis

Chronic rhinitis is frequent inflammation of the nose with symptoms such as a runny nose, nasal congestion and post-nasal drip (mucus in the throat). But what causes it?

While the exact causes are unknown, out-of-balance nasal nerves play a contributing factor. The nerves in your nose transmit signals to your brain regulating all sorts of functions. When these nerves become hyperactive or out of balance, they send more signals than are necessary for the nose to perform its normal jobs, such as protecting the body from infectious agents. This can cause your nose to respond like it’s fighting an illness.

Before

With chronic rhinitis, the nasal lining is inflamed (congestion) and mucus production is increased (runny nose), causing annoying symptoms – even when you aren’t sick.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is a safe, clinically proven and minimally invasive treatment that targets the source of your symptoms for lasting relief.

After

Cryotherapy interrupts the signals from these nerves to reduce your runny, stuffy nose symptoms.

After the cold temperature hits the out-of-balance nerves, the nerve signals are temporarily interrupted. The nerves are no longer telling the nose to drip, run and swell.
