Successful Management of chronic sinusitis requires treating the root cause. At Sinus Care Center, our patients are tested for inhalation allergy as well as food allergy. Our skin test battery consists of 36 different allergens most prevalent in the Southern California area. Patients with allergy are treated with desensitization therapy.
