Snoring is one of the most common sleep-related concerns and can be a sign of an underlying condition such as obstructive sleep apnea. At SPRING ENT, we provide thorough evaluations to determine the cause of your snoring and offer effective treatment options to restore restful sleep for you—and your partner.
Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in the throat, causing them to vibrate and produce sound during sleep. While occasional snoring may be harmless, habitual or loud snoring can disrupt sleep quality and may be a sign of a more serious condition like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
If your snoring is accompanied by gasping for air, pauses in breathing, daytime fatigue, or difficulty concentrating, it's time to seek professional help. Even if your snoring isn’t linked to apnea, it can affect both your sleep and the sleep of those around you, impacting relationships and overall well-being.
Dr. Paul Spring has extensive experience evaluating snoring in patients of all ages and determining whether it’s an isolated issue or part of a broader sleep disorder.
Treatment for snoring begins with a detailed assessment, which may include an exam of your airway anatomy and a review of your sleep habits or symptoms. In many cases, lifestyle modifications, positional therapy, or non-invasive tools such as nasal strips may be recommended.
For patients whose snoring is linked to structural issues or more complex airway obstruction, Dr. Spring may recommend CPAP therapy, oral appliance therapy, or in some cases, surgical interventions tailored to your anatomy. If obstructive sleep apnea is diagnosed, advanced options like Inspire Therapy may also be considered.
At SPRING ENT, our approach is not one-size-fits-all—we develop treatment plans that are as individualized as the patients we serve, with the goal of delivering restful, uninterrupted sleep.
