Midwest Center for Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea was established to comprehensively address the needs of people who snore or suffer from obstructive sleep apnea or sleep-disordered breathing. Sleep-disordered breathing includes a spectrum of disorders ranging from upper airway resistance syndrome or just snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (loud snoring, periods of breath holding, and daytime fatigue that may include heart failure). Our goal is to identify the causes of the breathing disorder and then tailor an individualized treatment plan to each patient's needs.
Over the past 30 years, as more and more has been discovered about sleep-disordered breathing, people who snore or experience apnea (breath holding) have been able to find relief. We now know that successful treatment of many diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, depression, obesity and even Alzheimer's require management of the patient's sleep abnormalities.
We use a variety of methods, both surgical and medical, to treat patients with sleep apnea. For patients with snoring or mild apnea, we offer in-office procedures such as the Pillar Implant or somnoplasty to reduce airway obstruction and improve breathing. While many patients with sleep apnea are treated with use of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) via a mask, many are intolerant of CPAP. We therefore often use upper airway surgery to improve tolerance to CPAP and, for some patients, to eliminate difficult nasal breathing, snoring, or sleep apnea.
The physicians at the Midwest Center for Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea provide precise diagnosis and individualized treatment for sleep-disordered breathing problems.
