What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

OSA is a serious medical condition where the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much during sleep, causing your airway to narrow or close. This can lead to dozens or even hundreds of breathing pauses each night, which can lower the oxygen level in your blood. Left untreated, OSA can increase your risk for serious health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Our Diagnostic & Treatment Process

The first step is to accurately diagnose your condition with a polysomnography (sleep study). This can be done at a sleep lab or with a convenient home sleep test.

Once diagnosed, we will work with you to find the most effective and comfortable treatment plan.

  • PAP Therapy- (Positive Airway Pressure): The most common and effective treatment, which uses a mask to deliver gentle air pressure to keep your airway open. Depending on your severity can range from CPAP, Bi-PAP or ST/ASV device.
  • Oral Appliances: Custom-fit dental devices that reposition your jaw or tongue to keep your airway open.
  • Inspire Therapy: A small, implanted device that works from inside your body to stimulate the airway muscles.
  • Weight-focused therapy: Weight loss can often improve or resolve Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by reducing fat deposits around the neck that narrow the airway.
