Welcome To The Sleep Therapy Clinics Web Log
If you’re visiting from our website, please click on the ‘Recent Posts’ to the right to see our latest articles. If you’ve arrived here from another source, here’s a quick run-down on what our clinics are all about…
The Sleep Therapy Clinics are professional practices which focus exclusively on the treatment of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) conditions such as snoring and sleep apnoea / apnea.
Unlike other treatment providers, our clinics offer a full range of professional treatments – including constant positive airway pressurisation (CPAP), oral appliance therapy (OAT) and referral for surgical intervention where necessary. This means our patients get the treatment which really is best for them — not just a treatment which a merchant wants to sell.
Sleep disordered breathing is extremely common. Roughly 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 10 children suffer from some form of SDB. That means virtually everyone is a sufferer, or knows someone who is — and there are clear links between SDB and a wide range of negative conditions, including:
- depression
- chronic fatigue
- impotence
- gastro oesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux)
- hypertension (high blood pressure)
- ischaemic heart disease
- type II diabetes mellitus
… and much more.
If you snore or suffer from any of these conditions, is is likely you are suffering from an underlying sleep disorder. Treatment of any SDB will help in the avoidance or treatment of these and other conditions.
Our clinical staff are particularly expert in the provision of treatment via CPAP and oral appliance therapy. This blog aims to provide information on the pros and cons of both these forms of treatment.

Hi, what I find interesting and disturbing is the fact that I have family members who snore and suffer from several of the conditions listed as side effects but their doctors have never even mentioned the possibility of their snoring being a part of the problem, the tendency seems to be to prescribe medications to deal with the side effects rather than try and treat the root cause.

Nice to see an organisation which cares enough about patients to offer a full range of treatment options. Other providers offering limited treatments are nothing more than merchants masquerading as medical professionals. Keep up the good work.

I have been using CPAP for 7 years with excellnet results but no one ever advised me of alternatives such as Oral Appliance Therapy. Thank you for an interesting and educational blog.

I love what your company is doing. The fact that you offer varied types of oral devices shows my business as a supplier of one of these devices that you are serious about tailoring to the patient and not just peddling for a company who might think one size fits all when it does not.
Thankyou for presenting an unbiased position , it is only via treatment centres like yours that patients will get appropriate and individual treatment, that should actually work. Especially when one considers the parrallel factors that can complicate oral appliance therapy, only the educated and open minded centres will be able to say they have a 90% plus success rate in approriate candidates for this level of treatment.

If you can’t sleep, or not too well, it’s a great time to think and pray. Just let your body rest, and don’t be upset that you are not sleeping.

I was told my my snoring was associated with stress; I didn’t know these could even possibly be linked but I took their word for it. I am not one to immediately start taking medicine so i look to a more conventional approach and tried sound therapy, there are a ton of different products out there, i decided to try one called Nocturne i think its by Prescription Audio? im not sure but my wife told me it has helped with my snoring. maybe other would have luck with sound therapy??
