Treatments & Services
Treatment is tailored to each patient and may include evaluation for various sleep disorders, sleep testing, cognitive behavioral therapy, or the use of medications.
Home Sleep Testing
An at-home sleep apnea test is used for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). There are specific biological parameters that are measured to help determine if you have obstructive sleep apnea.
A standard home sleep test has essentially 3 sensors used as follows:
- Nasal and oral airflow: Some sensors look like an oxygen cannula.
- Respiratory effort: With an elastic belt band placed across your chest and abdomen.
- Oxygen levels: A small, clip-like device called an “oximeter finger probe” attaches to your fingertip to evaluate oxygen levels in your blood while sleeping.
A NightOwl device is one of several types of small devices that are convenient options for home sleep testing.
- A small, quarter-sized device that attaches to your index fingertip.
- The myAir companion app that guides you through the testing process with step-by-step instructions.
eXciteOSA® is the world’s first daytime therapy that is FDA Authorized for reducing mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. eXciteOSA® targets the root cause of mild OSA and snoring – the loss of muscle tone of the tongue – rather than simply relieving the symptoms.
eXciteOSA® is the only daytime solution clinically proven to help with mild OSA and snoring. The non-invasive device only needs to be worn for 20 minutes a day, 1 time each day, for 6 weeks. Therapy is only required twice a week there after.
90% of patients reported a reduction in snoring time
- 89% of bed partners reported a reduction of their partners snoring
- 79% of sleep apnea patients achieved a reduction in sleep apnea measures
Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (BBTI) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI)
Recommended by the American College of Physicians as the first-line of treatment for insomnia, behavioral therapy is a non- medication treatment that targets several factors that maintain insomnia.
Based on the scientific knowledge of sleep-wake patterns, BBTi uses strategies to identify optimal sleep window, boost sleep drive, encourage better sleep habits, and improve overall sleep quality.
BBTi is available with our providers either in person or via telehealth and is structured as 4 weekly visits to quickly improve your sleep.
CBTi treatments are more in-depth, use cognitive strategies to reframe thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that may be interfering with sleep.
There are multiple providers whom we refer to that are certified in the particular type of cognitive therapy. Visits are in person, via telehealth and may use the support of an application on your phone.
Menopause and Perimenopause
Menopause can significantly disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia, frequent awakenings, and daytime fatigue.
Consulting a sleep doctor becomes essential when sleep disturbances persist despite self-care efforts.
We focus on non-hormonal treatment options while screening for underlying sleep disorders.
We conduct through assessments to identify underlying sleep disorders or recommend effective treatments tailored to individual needs.
Sleep EEG
Light Therapy
During light therapy, you sit or work near a device called a light therapy box. Devices may also be available in the form of glasses. This may be helpful in circadian rhythm disorders such as shift work sleep disorder.
In our practice we can identify patients that this may be appropriate for and work to guide them in the use of light therapy.
