Knowing the Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea
When looking at the numbers of Americans living with high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and who are overweight or obese, it is no surprise that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is becoming increasingly prevalent. According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, an estimated 22 million individuals in the United States are living with some form of sleep apnea.
By taking a whole-body approach, Dr. Belton will work closely with your physician to formulate a personalized treatment plan that is designed to not only improve your sleep patterns and breathing capabilities but also help you lose weight, better manage your insulin levels, and even decrease your blood pressure. This patient-focused method of treatment ensures lasting results and a better quality of life.
Sleep Apnea Knows No Age: Who is at Risk?
You may be surprised to learn that sleep apnea and snoring can occur in both children and adults. While men are often more prone to it than women, the rising cases of childhood obesity are also causing more children to suffer from this common disorder. It is true that sleep apnea knows no age. Sleep apnea in women may cause chronic migraines or lack of energy throughout the day. In a child, it can result in loud snoring and even behavioral issues at home or school.
Dr. Belton’s years of experience and training make him an expert when it comes to treating sleep apnea in patients of all ages. Offering safe and effective solutions that produce life-changing results, he is committed to helping every individual get the rest they need.
Opting for Comfort with Oral Appliance Therapy
One of the most common methods of sleep apnea treatment is a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device. Proven effective at treating the most severe cases of snoring and sleep apnea, many patients prefer an alternative solution – one that is more compact and easier to use. By offering oral appliance therapy, Dr. Belton can change the way you breathe at night! Approved by the FDA, these custom-made oral devices are worn while you sleep and move your jaw or tongue slightly forward to prevent an obstruction in your airway. Easy to use, comfortable to wear, and small enough to easily transport, Dr. Belton will determine which oral appliance is right for you.
