When you are told that you’re suffering from sleep apnea, it can be quite a tough realization at first. Here, you think you must be tired from one of a variety of other causes only to find out that you have literally been waking up potentially hundreds of times per night. As a result, you might find yourself wondering how you might be able to treat something that you didn’t even realize was happening in the first place. Fortunately, we offer sleep apnea treatment to help you manage this sleep issue. Allow us to explain.
What Treatment Isn’t
When patients come to us for sleep apnea treatment, they often have a lot of questions about what it is because they are concerned. You can rest easy with the knowledge that this type of treatment is completely medicine free. This means that you won’t have to take a pill or other medication, which could potentially lead to side effect (or might interact with other medication you are taking). This treatment is a natural approach to improving nightly sleep that is accessible to just about everyone.
What Treatment Is
Sleep apnea treatment includes gentle therapy. In general, we offer patients an oral appliance. This is another way of saying we will furnish you with a customized mouth guard that helps align your oral structures while you sleep. The goal, of course, is to keep your throat tissues apart and to keep the air flowing for successful, continuous breathing. As you are able to sleep throughout each night, symptoms will dissipate and you can return to healthy sleep patterns.
