Prior to any treatment for sleep apnea, we recommend a sleep study. During a sleep study, doctors can properly diagnose whether you suffer from sleep apnea and let you know how severe the condition is. Our sleep apnea treatment is for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, those with more severe cases may need additional treatment.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder which results in the patient’s airway being obstructed while they are trying to sleep. As the airway becomes obstructed, the patient, their brain and many other systems in their body are deprived of oxygen, resulting in a range of daily and long-term symptoms.

Why Sleep Apnea Treatment?

Sleep apnea not only causes daily symptoms which can impact the patient’s day-to-day life, it can have an impact on your overall health. Patients that suffer from untreated sleep apnea are at higher risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack and even stroke.
