Deviated Septum

A deviated septum is when the bone and cartilage that divides your nasal cavity is off-center. Your nasal septum separates the right and left sides of your nasal cavity. It’s why you have two nostrils.

Up to 80% of the general population has nasal septum deviation. Some people don’t even realize they have a deviated septum because they don’t have symptoms. But for some, a deviated septum can cause breathing concerns, headaches and other issues.
