Sleep Apnea Therapy

Giving Patients with Sleep Apnea a Reason to…Sleep!

Do you have trouble getting a good night’s rest? If you constantly wake up tired and feel moody or stressed, you may suffer from sleep apnea. Dr. Hedge and Dr. Frazar provide non-surgical therapies to eliminate this dangerous condition and restore peaceful slumber.

Apnea is the cessation of breathing for periods of ten seconds or longer. While you sleep, lack of airflow triggers your brain to tell your body to breathe, causing you to enter a lighter stage of sleep or awaken completely. The result is disturbed slumber and daytime fatigue. Sleep apnea can also affect your health and has been linked to high blood pressure and heart conditions. If tests show that you have sleep apnea, Dr. Hedge or Dr. Frazar will recommend a nasal mask that keeps air passages open or an oral appliance that repositions the tongue and lower jaw. These therapies also eliminate the snoring associated with sleep apnea – a bonus to increase marital harmony!
