Sleep Apnea

Dr. Joyce can help diagnose and treat sleep apnea to help you (and your partner) get a better night’s sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airway completely collapses, blocking airflow into the lungs. The harder one tries to breathe, the tighter the airway seals. This airway obstruction persists until the brain partially awakens the person, unconsciously closing the jaw and returning the tongue and throat to a normal position.
