Sleep Apnea

 In the US approximately 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, while 80 percent of the cases of obstructive sleep apnea are untreated. 

Sleep apnea is often under-diagnosed and is a causal factor in many diseases including high blood pressure, heart issues, diabetes, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and hyperactivity.

Quality sleep cannot be achieved without functional breathing. Partnering OMT with sleep apnea therapy can increase the effectiveness of equipment like CPAP or sleep appliances and help reduce apnea events. OMT helps tone airway muscles, ensures appropriate tongue/lip posture, and encourages optimal breathing.
