Sleep Apnea
WiseCare is the expert in sleep apnea, a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breathing during sleep. Our sleep apnea consultations recognize symptoms of sleep apnea, identify the severity, and develop a treatment plan to improve your sleep quality and overall health. Treatment management may include CPAP, which involves using a machine that delivers pressurized air to keep the airway open during sleep. When left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to significant health problems. At WiseCare you can rest assured that your sleep is in good hands.
CPAP
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, and it is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It involves using a machine that delivers a continuous flow of air through a mask worn over the nose or mouth during sleep. The air pressure from the machine helps to keep the airway open, preventing the collapse or narrowing of the throat muscles that cause sleep apnea.
Sleep Disorders
At WiseCare, we understand that sleep is essential for your well-being. We are experts in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders, such as Snoring, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Sleep Apnea, Insomnia, Restless Leg Syndrome, Dream Reenactment, Parasomnias Circadian Rhythm Disorders, and Narcolepsy. We offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and treatments for all sleep disorders in adults and children.
Circadian Rhythm Disorders
Circadian rhythm disorders refer to conditions where an individual’s internal biological clock is misaligned with the desired sleep-wake schedule or the natural light-dark cycle. These disorders can disrupt the normal sleep pattern and cause difficulties in falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing excessive sleepiness at inappropriate times.
Parasomnias
Parasomnias are a group of sleep disorders characterized by abnormal behaviors, movements, emotions, perceptions, or dreams that occur during sleep or are closely associated with sleep. These behaviors and experiences can range from mild to disruptive and can occur during different stages of sleep.
Sleepwalking
Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, is a parasomnia characterized by engaging in activities while asleep, typically during the deeper stages of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Sleepwalkers may perform various actions, ranging from simple tasks to more complex behaviors while being unaware and unresponsive to their surroundings.
Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable or unpleasant sensations. RLS symptoms typically occur during periods of rest or inactivity, particularly in the evening or at night, and can significantly disrupt sleep.
Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing non-restorative sleep. It can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and impaired functioning. Insomnia can be a short-term (acute) issue or a chronic problem lasting for months or even longer.
