Understanding Sleep Apnea
Types of Sleep Apnea
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
The most common form, caused by a blockage or collapse of the upper airway during sleep.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA)
Occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles responsible for breathing.
- Complex or Mixed Sleep Apnea
A combination of both obstructive and central sleep apnea.
Common Symptoms
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Pauses in breathing or gasping for air during sleep
- Excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue
- Morning headaches
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability or mood swings
Risk Factors
- Obesity
- Older age
- Male gender
- Family history of sleep apnea
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids (especially in children)
- Use of alcohol, sedatives, or muscle relaxants
A Modern, Non-CPAP Approach to Sleep Apnea
At Synchrony Health, our innovative approach to sleep health has helped many patients improve or even eliminate sleep apnea symptoms without the long-term use of CPAP. In some cases, our therapy has even allowed patients to wean off CPAP under medical supervision.
Our method focuses on correcting the improper function of the tongue and facial muscles, which often contributes to airway obstruction during sleep. Through targeted therapy, we help patients strengthen the tongue and orofacial muscles and teach them how to engage these muscles in their proper position.
This type of therapy is especially beneficial for individuals who are mouth breathers, a common factor in sleep-disordered breathing. By incorporating mouth breathing correction techniques, we not only reduce apnea events but also address related issues such as:
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Speech difficulties
- Improper oral posture
The result is improved airway stability, enhanced breathing patterns—and healthier, more restful sleep overall.
