The best alternatives to CPAP therapy

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders in the country, with more than 18 million Americans suffering from some form. When faced with this diagnosis, the most effective treatment is a continuous positive airway pressure machine, or CPAP.

Understandably, many people find CPAP machines noisy, uncomfortable, or just plain cumbersome. There are a few alternatives to using a CPAP machine that you might find helpful, though it's important that you talk with your doctor before ditching a CPAP machine altogether. Join Dr. Breus as he explores some of the alternative methods for reducing the symptoms of sleep apnea.
