How Nasal Valve Narrowing Affects Airflow
The nasal valve is the narrowest portion of the nasal airway and plays a critical role in regulating airflow. When this area becomes narrowed or weakened, breathing through the nose may feel restricted.
Nasal valve narrowing can contribute to chronic nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, and difficulty breathing during physical activity.
When structural narrowing is confirmed as a primary cause of airflow restriction, targeted treatment may be considered.
