Learn More About This Chronic Rhinitis TreatmentWhat is chronic rhinitis?
Rhinitis is caused by an inflammation of the mucous membranes in your nasal passages. You may develop additional symptoms of nasal irritation, congestion, and post nasal drip. Some Rhinitis sufferers find it hard to sleep at night because of their nasal discomfort.
If you experience these symptoms often, you may be suffering from Chronic Rhinitis. Numerous things can cause your symptoms. Some are allergic sources and some are considered non-allergic.
Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic Rhinitis occurs when your immune system becomes sensitized to non-infectious particles such as plant pollens, molds, dust mites, animal dander, as well as certain foods and medicines. When you encounter these substances, your immune system responds as if they are harmful and triggers the release of histamine into mucous membranes, the lungs, and the skin. As a result, your blood vessels dilate and cause swelling and redness. If the reaction occurs in your nasal passages, your nose becomes itchy, runny and congested from the irritation, and you begin to sneeze.
Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (hay fever)
Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis is commonly referred to as “hay fever,” although it’s caused by more than just “hay.”
- Tree Pollen - allergic reactions are common in late March or early April
- Ragweed - the main cause of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis occurs in late spring or summer
- Mold Spores - usually found in fallen leaves, are most common in October and November
Perennial Allergic Rhinitis
Perennial Allergic Rhinitis has no season and can occur from exposure to year-round allergic sources. Pet hair, carpeting, upholstery, mold on wallpaper, houseplants, and even components in air pollution can all cause Perennial Allergic Rhinitis.
Non-Allergic Rhinitis
Non-Allergic Rhinitis is considered a vasomotor response to irritants rather than an immune response.
Symptoms may be similar to those of Allergic Rhinitis, except for the itchiness, but the sources of your reaction and the responses to treatment are usually different. It can be difficult to distinguish Non-Allergic from Allergic Rhinitis. Sometimes, the non-allergic form can be confirmed only after therapy for typical allergy triggers has been unsuccessful.
Common Sources of Non-Allergic Rhinitis are:
- cigarette smoke
- air pollutants
- strong odors
- alcoholic beverages
- cold temperature
- over-use of medications such as decongestant sprays

We are proud to be one of the selected practices in the U.S. offering this new and innovative treatment option for Chronic Rhinitis.
ClariFix® Cryotherapy can be done right in the office and gives you benefits no other treatment can provide.
Effectiveness
ClariFix® Cryotherapy takes a different approach to treating Chronic Rhinitis. Cryotherapy goes to the root of the problem - the inflamed nasal tissue and the underlying nerves.
Long-lasting Relief
ClariFix® Cryotherapy can provide long-term symptom relief from Chronic Rhinitis. In a clinical study, 4 out of 5 people reported long-lasting improvement with ClariFix® therapy, including a reduction in runny nose and nasal congestion.
Safety and Convenience
ClariFix® Cryotherapy is a safe in-office procedure and takes less than 30 minutes. Using endoscopy, a small cryotherapy balloon is inserted into your nasal passage to quickly freeze the area responsible for rhinitis symptoms. Now, you no longer need to rely on those oral or nasal medications that fail to work.
ClariFix®- the clinically-proven, minimally invasive option for treating Chronic Rhinitis.

What our patients are saying...
After seeing their many ads I convinced Dad to "just have a hearing test." I wish he could use the computer himself to say how sorry he was to have waited so long to get help. This is a wonderful group, and it is easy to see that they truly care about us and enjoy what they do, which is help people hear again. Definitely recommend!
- Lana K.
I am now able to breathe normally at 100% for the first time in 12 years! On top of that, cosmetically my nose, after having to be re-broken during the procedure looks natural, like it looked before it broke in my accident 12 years ago! Highly recommend if you are having breathing issues due to your nose. You will indeed be a changed person. Staff is awesome, also extremely friendly and welcoming.
- Michael S.
I'm cured! Thanks, Dr. Weiss, Michelle, Lisa, and everyone else. I recovered quickly from surgery, and my allergies are clearing up. Feeling great!
- Megan R.
If you have any difficulty breathing through your nose or any difficulty with your nose in general, look no further than Dr. Weiss. Dr. Weiss did my surgery on October 5, 2016, which was not as big a deal as I anticipated. Now I can breathe like I've never been able to breathe before. It was the greatest sensation to be able to breathe through my nose. Thank you Dr Weiss for doing an excellent, fantastic, outstanding job.
- Steven F.
I am so grateful for this practice! For years and years, I suffered terribly from severe sinus infections brought on by every single little cold I'd catch. Dr. Weiss took the conservative approach with the balloon surgery to expand the access to and from the sinuses. This was painless and required no recovery time...It has been life changing. Dr. Weiss is a caring and skilled doctor to whom I'm grateful for giving me a much better quality of life. The practice, all of the staff members, are caring and fun, and I can't recommend it highly enough!
- Debbie T.
I wish I could give 10 stars! Our experience could not have been better! Thank you guys, for all the time you took to make my little man hear again. Now he can hear me when I tell him I love him.
