Only a doctor's examination can determine if you have a deviated septum. Most people have a slightly deviated septum. Most of the time, it does not aggravate symptoms enough to have it surgically corrected. However, if you suffer from chronic sinusitis, it is a good idea to find out if you have a deviated septum. If so, surgery such as endoscopic sinus surgery might permanently improve your breathing.

The septum is the internal divider of the nose made up of two components: 1) septal cartilage - the mobile, lower part of nose closer to lips, and 2) bony septum - the immobile upper portion of nose closer to eyes. See similar questions...

Huber Mounts are constructed primarily of high strength anodized aluminum alloys and stainless steel. This makes our mounts very rigid and allows them to be used in applications where other types of positioning devices just won't hold up. See similar questions...

The needles are usually made of stainless steel, not much thicker that a human hair. Usually nothing is felt as the needle penetrates the skin but there will be some sensation as the needle reaches the subcutaneous acupuncture point. This can be a feeling of numbness, or an ache, or an "alive" sensation, or a sort of sharpness. It is certainly a lot less painful than the sensation of being accidentally punctured by a needle or a pin. Some people seem to feel hardly anything at all. See similar questions...

In Florida and in the United States, Acupuncturists are required by law to use sterilized, individually packaged, disposable needles. Needles are not saved or reused for later treatments. They are properly disposed of in Sharps containers and treated as Biohazardous Waste. This eliminates the possibility of transmitting a communicable disease by a contaminated needle.

The needles used to stimulate acupuncture points are solid-state stainless stell, pre-sterilized, and disposable. They are NOT hypodermic needles. They are very slender, about the thickness of two human hairs. Most insertions are made beneath the skin's surface and sensations vary from person to person. Sometimes a person feels nothing at all, or perhaps a dull, momentary ache or tingling sensation. The fewest number of needles are used in each treatment. See similar questions...

Radio waves do not penetrate far through soils, rocks and most man-made materials such as concrete. The loss of radio reception or cell phone connection while driving a car through a tunnel or into an underground parking garage attests to this. The fact that GPR works at all depends upon very sensitive measuring systems being used and specialized circumstances. Radio waves decrease exponentially and soon become undetectable in energy absorbing materials, depicted in Figure 1. See similar questions...

No. CLEAR-VIEW needles are not the same as the CORE-ASSURE biopsy needles. To enable the CLEAR-VIEW needle to work with the CORE-ASSURE kit, you must order the CORE-ASSURE accessory kit and the CLEAR-VIEW 11ga needle. See similar questions...

If the septum is crooked, it may block one or both sides of the nose to a variable degree. Many people have a mildly deviated septum that they are unaware of, as it is causing no problem. The more deviated the septum, the more problem it becomes. Probably the most obvious difficulty a deviated septum may cause is blockage to the breathing on one or both sides of the nose. This is a simple architectural problem with part of the septum being pushed into the normal opening. See similar questions...

If the septum is crooked enough to cause symptoms such as those previously mentioned, it can be surgically straightened. The operation that accomplishes this is called a septoplasty. In essence, the mucus membranes are peeled off the underlying cartilage and bone by working through the nostrils. No incisions are made on the outside of the nose. Once the underlying septum is exposed, portions of it can be removed and/or moved back towards the middle. See similar questions...
