Still dealing with a blocked nose?

A nose that never really clears can be more than congestion. A focused visit can look for structural issues such as a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or another nasal airway blockage.

One side stays blocked
A deviated septum or enlarged turbinate can leave one nostril feeling restricted most of the time.
Mouth breathing at night
Poor nasal airflow can push you toward mouth breathing, snoring, and restless sleep.
Sprays only help briefly
If medication, rinses, or strips keep wearing off, the blockage may be structural.
Daily breathing feels harder
Exercise, work, and normal routines can feel harder when nasal airflow stays limited.
The solution

Modern options for structural nasal blockage

A nasal airway evaluation starts with understanding whether a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or another structural issue may be limiting airflow.

Your ENT can explain traditional and modern options, including when SpirAir SeptAlign or a less invasive approach may be appropriate for select patients.

"Dr. Levitin is such a caring doctor. I had a deviated septum and the procedure went very well. I was snoring and not breathing through my left nostril, the procedure opened up the airway in my left nostril and everything is going well. I would recommend him to anyone of my family and friends. Thank Dr. Levitin."

Common questions

Everything you need to know

How do I know if my blocked nose is structural?

A nasal airway evaluation can look at the septum, turbinates, and airflow. Symptoms alone cannot confirm the cause, but they can point to what should be checked.

Is SpirAir the same as septoplasty?

SpirAir is the company behind technologies such as SeptAlign. Your specialist can explain whether traditional septoplasty, turbinate care, or a modern option may fit your anatomy.

Will sprays fix a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates?

Sprays may help inflammation for some people, but they do not straighten a septum. If relief is temporary, a structural evaluation may be worth discussing.

What should I ask about recovery?

Ask what treatment options are being considered, where care would take place, what downtime may look like, and how your plan affects coverage. Your team can set expectations after evaluation.

What does a nasal airway evaluation check for?

A nasal airway evaluation checks how well air moves through your nose and whether anything is blocking it, such as a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal valve narrowing, swelling, or polyps.
