Sleep Apnea Treatment in Wichita, KS
Sleep apnea is a common but serious condition that disrupts your breathing and sleep quality. Left untreated, it can contribute to significant health risks, including heart and stroke concerns. You have treatment options, including comfortable, noninvasive oral appliances that help maintain airflow while you sleep.
Signs of sleep apnea include:
- Poor sleeping habits
- Frequent sore throats
- Recurring headaches
- An inability to get a restful night’s sleep
We at our clinic are concerned about our patients’ overall health, including their sleep health. Many people suffer needlessly from dangerous sleep disorders that disrupt their breathing and prevent them from getting enough oxygen at night. Sleep disorders increase the risk of a heart attack by 23 times, and 92 percent of stroke victims unknowingly live with this condition before an attack.
Our training enables us to provide education and treatment for sleep health in the simplest, most cost-effective way possible.
