Breathing Disordered Sleep…Identifying and Correcting Dysfunctional Daytime Behavioral Patterns

June 19, 2018 @ 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm EDT

Sandra Coulson, MS, ST, ED, COM
Roger Price,  CEO – Respiratory Physiologist

Nothing will change if nothing changes.For as long as the medical and dental world focus on identifying and addressing symptoms, there will be a measure of short-term success, but relapse is inevitable.

Unless the root cause of the problem is identified and addressed, together with the restorative or symptom management processes, the problems will persist.
The majority of ‘Sleep Disorders’ rarely have anything to do with the actual process of sleep, and those that are should definitely be addressed by specialists in neurology, neuromuscular and neurological dysfunction.  The rest are predominantly Breathing Disorders which become worse during the process of sleep.
Unless these are addressed and corrected, the only interventions will remain short-term, invasive and intrusive night time devices, many of which cause unintended problems of their own.
