Alternative Treatments To CPAP For Sleep Apnea

By Harold Brooks


Where there have been a number of different treatments for Sleep Apnea and loud snoring over the years, few have been successful. For, while CPAPs have been known to work the best, there are still a number of issues. While this is the case, there are now alternative treatments to CPAP which have eliminated at least some of these issues.

While Inspire requires a quick outpatient procedure, once implanted all individuals have to do is turn on the device with a remote before sleep, and turn off the device when awake. After which, the device will automatically reset for the next period of sleep.

With this new product, sleep apnea can be calmed without the need for a mask, hoses or cleaning machines. As such, individuals often wake up more alert, aware and refreshed rather than groggy and sleepy. In addition, individuals with loud snoring issues can also benefit from this new device.

Inspire has also been known to eliminate stress between partners. For, if a partner can not sleep due to loud snoring, gasping or breathing equipment, it can often result in interrupted sleep. As such, partners can often have difficulty functioning at work or when dealing with children due to a lack of sleep.

Inspire has been approved by the United States FDA as of 2014 as being effective and safe in several long-term trials and studies. As such, the product is as, if not safer than CPAP machines. For, if an individual were to have breathing issues while asleep, a partner would most likely be better able to hear the issue with a quiet device over that of a loud CPAP machine.

According to ongoing surveys among current users, there has been a 79% or higher reduction in sleep apnea when using the device. In addition, individuals are reporting having experienced better overall sleep patterns regardless of sleeping during day or night. As such, most users are extremely satisfied and suggest the short outpatient procedure and cost are well worth the benefits received in return.

Finding a health care provider whom can prescribe an Inspire implant can be found on the Inspire website. For, there is a zip code search as well as a list of clinics currently providing this alternative to heavy breathing equipment. As there are over 150 doctors and clinics around the United States now providing Inspire implants, most individuals can find a location within a reasonable driving distance.

Before attempting to obtain an Inspire implant, individuals are advised to discuss the option with current health care providers. For, while the device may work well with some sleep disorders, it is not appropriate for some individuals with ongoing breathing disorders. As such, to prevent complications, it is always best to first discuss any ongoing issues, medications and treatments before moving forward with alternative forms.
