Grosse Pointe Woods Sleep Apnea Treatment

Current research has not identified a cure for sleep apnea, but it can be treated. A sleep apnea specialist will determine the type of treatment you will need, based on the severity of your condition. Treatment aims to keep your airway open while you sleep, which will lead to better oxygenation, better sleep, and improved mood and alertness during the daytime hours.
