“Addressing sleep apnea isn't just about stopping snoring; it's about enhancing the airway to significantly improve overall health and quality of life.”

— Dr. David Porter, AUTHOR OF AIM

Challenges in Traditional Sleep Apnea Treatments

In his book AIM, Dr. Porter takes a deep dive into airway health, represented by the ‘A’ in AIM. He writes about how traditional sleep apnea treatments typically focus on managing symptoms and provide only temporary relief.

We follow the AIM philosophy when it comes to sleep apnea. Our goal is to identify and address the root causes of sleep apnea pushing beyond conventional methods to offer comprehensive solutions that alleviate symptoms and address underlying health issues.

Recognizing Sleep Apnea Symptoms

In AIM, Dr. Porter discusses how both adults and children can suffer from sleep apnea due to compromised airway health. Recognizing symptoms early is crucial for effective intervention:

Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea in Adults

Frequent loud snoring
Pauses in breathing during sleep
Gasping for air during sleep
Morning headaches
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Mood changes, such as irritability or depression

Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea in Children

Innovations in Sleep Apnea Diagnostics

Our sleep apnea diagnostics help us get a thorough understanding of our patients’ airway issues and any broader health implications they might have.

Structural Airway Assessment: Evaluates anatomical factors that restrict airways and contribute to sleep apnea.

Lifestyle Impact Analysis: Reviews how lifestyle and diet may worsen airway problems, offering personalized guidance for improvement.

Myofunctional Assessment: Focuses on strengthening oral and facial muscles to improve airway stability.

At Home Sleep Test: Conveniently monitors sleep patterns to assess the severity of apnea.

CBCT Imaging: Provides a detailed view of the airway structure, aiding in accurate diagnostics and treatment planning.

These diagnostic innovations reflect Dr. Porter’s AIM philosophy by ensuring all aspects of health are considered, providing a foundation for targeted and effective treatments.
