Extensive clinical research has shown
that the primary causes of asthma are:

  Allergies
  Sinusitis
  Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)

For some asthma sufferers the cause is one of these conditions, and for others, two or even all three of these conditions may be to blame.

The Problem: While bronchodilators and inhaled steroids can help you manage asthma symptoms, these medications do not address asthma at its source.

The Solution: Northwestern Asthma Institute has brought together a multidisciplinary team of specialists with one goal: To accurately diagnose the source of your asthma and provide highly targeted treatments that achieve excellent results.

Leading the way to a cure for asthma

The Northwestern Asthma Institute team is led by John T. McMahan, M.D., ENT-Sinus-Allergy

Dr. McMahan will thoroughly analyze the presence and relative contribution of sinusitis, allergy and GERD to your asthma using state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, including:

  In-office CT scanning
  Pulmonary function studies
  Allergy testing and treatment
  Bronchoscopy for evaluation and treatment of sinusitis
  Laryngoscopy and esophagoscophy for evaluation and management of GERD
