Types of condition- go into more detail

Obstructive Sleep Apnea – Obstructive Sleep Apnea is caused by a blockage of the airway.

Central Sleep Apnea– The other type of Sleep Apnea is Central Sleep Apnea. This is where the airway is not blocked but the brain fails to send the muscles to breathe. This is due to instability in the respiratory control centre.

Treatments

For those with breathing and sleep impairment issues such as Sleep Apnea, Septoplasty can offer a great deal of benefit.

Septoplasty can support improved breathing by straightening a deviated septum. This can alleviate certain Sleep Apnea symptoms.
