A Modern Approach to Treating Snoring & Sleep Apnea 😴

A Modern Approach to Treating Snoring & Sleep Apnea 😴

Quality sleep is one of the foundations of good health. When we sleep well, our bodies heal, repair, and recharge. Poor sleep, on the other hand, can affect energy, mood, hormones, heart health, and overall wellness.

One of the most overlooked causes of poor sleep is snoring and sleep apnea. Many people don’t realize they may have sleep apnea because symptoms can seem mild at first.

Common signs can include:

• Snoring
• Waking tired even after a full night’s sleep
• Morning headaches
• Waking up gasping or startled
• Frequent waking during the night
• Getting up to pee at night
• Poor concentration or daytime fatigue
• Waking during REM sleep
• Drops in nighttime oxygen levels

Research continues to show the important connection between sleep apnea and long-term health, including cardiovascular health and overall quality of life.

At Integrated, we offer NightLase®, a non-invasive laser treatment designed to help treat snoring and sleep apnea. NightLase uses gentle laser energy to tighten and support the tissues of the airway, helping keep the airway more open during sleep — with no surgery and no downtime.

Many patients choose NightLase as an alternative or complement to CPAP machines and oral appliances.

If snoring, poor sleep, or sleep apnea are affecting your life, there are options available that may help you sleep more deeply and wake feeling more refreshed.  Call to book a consult if you are interested in learning more.
