Understanding Your Sinus and Allergy Symptoms
Effective treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Cable utilizes a thorough approach, including detailed history taking and advanced diagnostic tools when necessary, to pinpoint the underlying cause of your sinus and allergy issues. Common conditions we treat include:
Chronic Sinusitis & Recurrent Acute Sinusitis
- Persistent inflammation of the sinuses lasting 12 weeks or more, or multiple acute infections per year.

- We explore all contributing factors, including infection, inflammation, structural issues (like a deviated septum), and allergies.

Allergic Rhinitis (Nasal Allergies)
- Inflammation of the nasal passages triggered by allergens common in North Texas, such as pollens (cedar, oak, ragweed), molds, dust mites, and pet dander.
- Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes/nose/throat, nasal congestion, and postnasal drip.
- Comprehensive allergy testing can identify your specific triggers to guide effective management.

Nasal Obstruction & Deviated Septum
- Difficulty breathing through one or both sides of the nose due to issues like a deviated (crooked) nasal septum, enlarged turbinates, or nasal valve collapse.
- This can lead to chronic stuffiness, snoring, sleep disturbances, and reduced exercise tolerance.

Advanced and Personalized Treatment Options
Dr. Cable is dedicated to providing the most effective and least invasive treatment options tailored to your specific condition and lifestyle. Your personalized plan may include:
Medical Management
- Targeted medications such as nasal corticosteroid sprays, antihistamines, decongestants, and antibiotics (when a bacterial infection is confirmed).
- Guidance on saline nasal irrigation and other supportive therapies to improve sinus health.
- Allergy management strategies, including avoidance measures and medications. If appropriate, discussion of immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual drops).
Minimally Invasive In-Office Procedures
- Balloon Sinuplasty: A breakthrough, minimally invasive procedure performed in the office for many patients with chronic sinusitis. A small, flexible balloon catheter is used to gently open blocked sinus passages, restoring normal drainage and function with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery.
- Benefits: Less invasive than traditional sinus surgery, quick recovery, performed in-office, significant symptom relief.
- Other minimally invasive techniques for turbinate reduction or polyp removal, when appropriate.

- Septoplasty: Surgical correction of a deviated nasal septum to improve airflow and relieve nasal obstruction.
- Turbinoplasty/Turbinate Reduction: Procedures to reduce the size of enlarged nasal turbinates, improving nasal breathing.
