Sleep apnea is considered a sleep disorder in which can be severe. A person with sleep apnea usually consistently stops and starts breathing while sleeping. People who have sleep apnea typically snore very loud and wake up feeling tired even after a full night’s rest. Our chiropractic care can help those suffering from sleep apnea. We can provide the care you are looking for here at Back & Neck Care Chiropractic in Clark County.  Here are some frequently asked questions about sleep apnea and how our chiropractors can help.

What Causes Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea results when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much. As a result, your airway will either close or narrow as you breathe in when your muscles relax. This leads to your oxygen levels decreasing since you cannot get enough air. Sleep apnea can also occur due to the brain not sending proper signals to your breathing muscles. This means that your breathing stops for a short period of time. Upon awakening, you may have shortness of breath or difficulty falling back to sleep. If you suffer from conditions like an enlarged tongue, enlarged tonsils, or obesity, your risk of developing sleep apnea will also increase.

What Are the Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Symptoms of sleep apnea include:

  • Irritability
  • Snoring that is loud
  • Gasping for air during sleep
  • Dry mouth upon awakening
  • Insomnia
  • Not being able to pay attention while awake
  • Episodes of not breathing during sleep

How Can a Chiropractor Treat Sleep Apnea?

Chiropractic care is beneficial for patients with sleep apnea if their condition is due to a subluxation in the spine or a misalignment. Chiropractic care will decrease a patient’s symptoms and help improve their quality of life. Instead of healing sleep apnea itself, our chiropractic adjustments help correct and heal and subluxations in the spine. Chiropractic care also relieves tension in your neck and other body parts to stabilize the tissues. This leads to patients breathing better while sleeping.
