Immediate relief occurs, after a few acupuncture sessions, such as reduction of nasal congestion and pain relief or pressure in the sinuses.\u00a0Acupuncture has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects on the body, helping to reduce the inflammation in the sinus cavities and decrease pain levels. Acupuncture also naturally helps with the movement of fluids inside the body, and can assist in the breakdown of congested mucous (1).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7285\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7285\" class=\"wp-image-7285 size-medium\" title=\"EY-LLLT treatment for Nasal Polyps.ent\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/%CE%98%CE%95%CF%81%CE%B1%CF%80%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%B1-%CF%83%CF%85%CE%BC%CF%86%CF%8C%CF%81%CE%B7%CF%83%CE%B7%CF%82-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"EY-LLLT treatment for Nasal Polyps.ent\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EY-LLLT treatment for Nasal Polyps<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Adjuvant <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/en\/%ce%b5%cf%85-lllt\/\">Low level laser therapy (EY-LLLT)<\/a> is also implemented in the holistic therapeutic protocol, as EY-LLLT has important therapeutic effects such as\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.6667px;\">biostimulation,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">anti-inflammatory, anti bacterial<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.6667px;\">\u00a0and<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.6667px;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">analgetic effecst.
