Sleep Medicine
Roughly 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders. Sleep is essential for physical and mental renewal, and long-term sleep difficulties can lead to serious medical problems. Sleep medicine doctors, sleep technologists and other clinicians at Commonwealth Health are dedicated to helping you get a good night’s sleep. We offer diagnostic and treatment services for a wide range of sleep disorders, including:
- Chronic snoring
- Insomnia
- Narcolepsy
- Pediatric sleep disorders, including night terrors and sleep walking
- Restless leg syndrome
- Sleep apnea
Registered, specially trained technologists use multi-dimensional instrumentation to monitor and record sleeping functions such as brain waves, eye movement, breathing, oxygen level in the blood, electro-cardiogram and certain muscle group activity. The team conducts sleep studies to evaluate your sleep patterns and draw from a variety of treatment options to help you achieve restful sleep, such as:
- Medications
- Behavior modification therapies
- Non-invasive medical devices such as oral appliances or CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) devices to facilitate breathing
- Progressive surgical options, including minimally invasive radiofrequency procedures to open nasal and oral airways
