Discovering Alternative Treatments To CPAP

By Harold Brooks


While there have been a number of different treatments attempted to calm Sleep Apnea and snoring issues, there are now new and different products. While there are now a few different alternative treatments to CPAP, one product, Inspire works from within the body and the normal breathing process. With inspire, physicians implant a tiny device under the skin in an outpatient procedure.

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.

The device works with natural breathing patterns without the need for heavy CPAP equipment or cleaning machines. As such, most people using the device wake up alert, aware and refreshed. In addition, there is no grogginess or sleepiness from a lack of sleep due to the loud noise which a number CPAP machines create.

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.

The product has been approved by the FDA of the United States as of 2014 for human use after several long term studies and trials. As such, the product is as, if not safer than traditional breathing equipment. For, it is more likely that if an individual experiences difficulty breathing, a partner is more likely to hear gasping or other noises with an implant versus loud breathing equipment.

According to ongoing studies with regards to individuals currently using the device, there has been a seventy nine percent reduction in sleep apnea. The device has also been proven to reduce daytime sleepiness by reducing snoring and allowing for better overall sleep patterns. As such, most Inspire users have been extremely satisfied with the product as a good alternative to external breathing treatments.

Finding a doctor whom can provide an Inspire implant can be found easily be entering a zip code at inspire sleep dot com. For, there are over one hundred fifty doctors currently prescribing the treatment for long term sleep disorders. In addition to the zip code search, individuals can also find a link to a number clinics providing the treatment listed by state at the bottom of the landing page.

Individuals are often advised to check with a primary health care provider before switching to any type of alternative treatment. As there are only a few insurance companies which provide coverage for alternative forms of treatment, it is also a good idea to contact current providers to assure the treatment is covered under a current policy. After which, it can often be easier for individuals to decide whether or not an Inspire implant might be a good option.
