Sleep apnea may be the source of the snoring in some cases. The physicians at the Snoring Center and Cooper University Hospital can be of assistance. Those who want to work with a center that specializes in sleep apnea may want to consider the Center for Sleep Apnea.
Center for Sleep Apnea
The Center for Sleep Apnea is dedicated to helping people overcome snoring problems associated with sleep apnea. Dr. Ira M. Klemons is the director of the center who has an extensive background in conditions related to sleep apnea including pain management and TM joint dysfunction.
The center has approximately 30 staff members who are trained to help people seeking help for snoring due to sleep apnea or upper airway resistance syndrome.
Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome
Upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a breathing condition that interrupts sleep. Airflow is restricted as the person sleeps, causing the patient to awaken throughout the night. This leads to significant daytime sleepiness, which is the condition’s primary symptom followed by hypertension.
UARS is difficult to diagnose and there is currently no precise definition of the syndrome nor is there any diagnostic approaches that have been validated. A patient participates in sleep studies that measure airflow during a polysomnography. Treatment for this condition includes nasal continuous positive airway pressure CPAP. Oral appliances and radiofrequency ablation look promising, but more research is required to determine whether these approaches are as effective as continuous airway pressure.
Sleep Centers
Since snoring is a sleeping condition, the SJH SleepCare Center is an excellent consideration as well. The center offers convenient nighttime sleep studies that can help determine the specific cause of your snoring as well as the most viable treatment options to consider.
The center begins each study with a physical examination that determines whether a sleep study is appropriate. Studies take place in guest suites that have comfortable appeal rather than a clinical atmosphere.
Selecting an Approach
South Jersey snoring treatment options are varied and each approach is unique. The severity of your symptoms can determine whether a simple visit to the dentist will take care of the problem or whether a sleep study is in order.
