Effective Sleep Apnea Solutions at Your Fingertips

At Texas ENT Specialists, our approach to sleep apnea treatment prioritizes personalization. Your experienced sleep doctor will complete a comprehensive evaluation, which may include a sleep study, to accurately diagnose and gauge the severity of your sleep apnea. 

Then, your expert otolaryngologist will collaborate with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your specific requirements and preferences. Treatments they may choose from include:

Lifestyle Enhancements 

Our sleep specialists may recommend lifestyle adjustments in addition to other treatments. Weight management, increasing physical activity, steering clear of alcohol and sedatives before bedtime, and adopting side-sleeping positions can all be helpful in alleviating symptoms.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy 

CPAP therapy stands as a widely employed sleep apnea treatment. This method entails wearing a CPAP machine equipped with a mask that administers a constant stream of air, preventing airway blockages during sleep. This effectively curbs the breathing pauses associated with sleep apnea.

Innovative Implants 

On the cutting edge, medical implants can offer the resolution of symptoms without loud or bulky machines in your bedroom. 

Inspire® therapy involves the surgical implantation of a small device that stimulates the throat and tongue, preventing airway obstruction during sleep. The Airlift™ procedure is also a medical implant that works by stimulating the upper airway, resolving the symptoms of sleep apnea. Both of these alternatives are especially beneficial for individuals seeking alternatives to CPAP therapy.

Surgical Approaches 

In select cases, surgical interventions may be recommended to address anatomical irregularities contributing to sleep apnea. These procedures could entail the removal of excess throat tissue, jaw repositioning, or correction of structural abnormalities.
