PranapedicsTM & OSA

What is PranapedicsTM

PranapedicsTM is an Airway Analysis and Optimization for Sleep, Spine & Martial Arts and it involves multiple assessments including imaging analysis of various modalities, possible, multidisciplinary approach, medical assessment and treatment to asses causes of sleep disordered breathing.  PranapedicsTM involves a deterministic rather than probabilistic approach to discovering the etiology of sleep disordered breathing prior to initiating treatment.

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a common breathing sleep disorder where brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA occurs when the upper airway collapses or becomes blocked during sleep, thus reducing or stopping airflow into the epiglottis.

The Connection Between Breathing and Common Conditions

Sleep disordered breathing is a stated with diabetes, resistant hypertension, heart disease, stroke, embolic syndrome and obesity. By fixing underlying breathing problems such as sleep apnea or snoring, we are able to alleviate chronic medical problems that an individual may have.
