At Sleep Houston, we understand the profound impact that sleep and pain disorders can have on your daily life. Our state-of-the-art facility offers bespoke treatment options to help you achieve restful sleep, relieve chronic pain, and enhance your well-being.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep. It causes breathing to stop and start repeatedly. This issue can lead to fragmented sleep and significant health risks, including:
- Hypertension
- Heart disease
- Daytime fatigue
Common symptoms include snoring loudly, gasping for air while sleeping, and excessive daytime sleepiness. At Sleep Houston, we provide solutions to manage OSA and combat these issues.
TMJ Pain and Popping
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders often cause pain and discomfort in your jaw, face, and neck. Symptoms include:
- Jaw pain
- Clicking or popping sounds when you open or close your mouth
- Difficulty chewing
These issues can diminish your quality of life and make simple activities painful. Our team at Sleep Houston offers detailed diagnosis and treatment plans to reduce TMJ pain and restore normal jaw function.
Tension and Migraine Headaches
Tension headaches and migraines are common yet debilitating conditions. They can severely affect daily activities.
Tension headaches generally cause a constant, dull ache around the head. Migraines, on the other hand, involve intense, throbbing pain. They are often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound as well.
At Sleep Houston, we employ a comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat these conditions.
Alternative Treatment for CPAP Intolerance
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is standard for managing OSA. However, some patients find it uncomfortable and difficult to tolerate.
For those struggling with CPAP intolerance, Sleep Houston offers alternative treatment options, including oral appliances. This alternative increases comfort and compliance. It ensures effective sleep apnea management without the discomfort associated with CPAP machines.
Oral Dental Appliances
Oral dental appliances are custom-made devices designed to treat OSA and TMJ disorders. These appliances reposition the jaw and tongue. They keep the airway open during sleep and stabilize the jaw to minimize TMJ pain and popping.
The Sleep Houston team's expertise in crafting these appliances guarantees a perfect fit and maximum comfort. These devices are convenient and noninvasive options for improving sleep quality and relieving jaw pain.
