SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sleep apnea is a chronic condition that affects 22 million people in America today. It's a disorder that can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, stroke, or heart failure. Those who suffer from sleep apnea may or may not realize they have it, but symptoms often include daytime sleepiness, consistently waking with a dry mouth or a sore throat, and most prevalently -- loud snoring. Sleep apnea is disruptive at best; at worst, left untreated, it can lead to death. Recent advances in chiropractic science can help lessen and alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea. Dr. Daniel P. Secrest, D.C., of Secrest Family Chiropractic offers non-invasive treatment options for those suffering from this uncomfortable nighttime condition.
Spinal adjustments that help to realign the vertebrae in the neck and spinal column may offer relief for patients who live with the most common form of this condition, called Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA. During OSA, the soft tissues in the back of the throat relax to the point that breathing is impeded. This typically causes the sleeping person to wake, sometimes hundreds of times in a single night. Quality of sleep ranges from moderate to poor in those affected by sleep apnea, but new, innovative treatment options that include massage therapy, nutritional counseling, breathing exercises, and spinal adjustments can help bring relief. Secrest Family Chiropractic offers holistic therapies for sleep apnea, where patients report a noticeable improvement in the quality of their sleep and increased energy levels after a few sessions.
"What works well for one patient may not be the ideal treatment for another," says Dr. Secrest, D.C. "At Secrest Family Chiropractic, we take the time to get to know our clients, their cares and concerns, and we work to fit the treatment to the individual and not the other way around. As a result, we've had resounding success in treating all forms of sleep apnea."
