What is Pranapedics^©

Pranapedics^© is an Airway & Medical Analysis for the Optimization of Sleep & Breathing, Systemic Health, Dentofacial Orthopedics, Facial Profile, and Posture/Spine & Martial Arts. This involves a medical assessment, imaging analysis, a multidisciplinary approach, and treatment to assess the causes of sleep-disordered breathing.

Pranapedics^© uses a deterministic rather than probabilistic approach to determining the etiology of sleep-disordered breathing before 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.
