Let's talk about what causes Sleep Apnea.

Did you know there are two different kinds?

1 - Obstructive Sleep Apnea: This is the most common form. It occurs when the muscles in the throat relax too much or when structural factors, such as a narrow airway, excess weight, or enlarged tonsils, block airflow during sleep.

2 - Central Sleep Apnea: Less common, this type occurs when the brain doesn’t send the proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. It’s often connected to underlying medical conditions.

Both conditions can shorten your lifespan if left unmanaged. Understanding which type you’re experiencing is the key to getting the right, whole-body treatment.

You deserve solutions that actually help you sleep and feel better.

It's International Women’s Day! Today, I'm taking a moment to reflect on the opportunity I had to learn from one of my incredible mentors, Dr. Isabel Moreno.

Dr. Moreno has been such a source of wisdom and encouragement for me, starting in residency and continuing into my clinic practice.

Dr. Moreno is the director of the Orofacial Pain Residency program at the University of Kentucky, and this year, she will be taking on the role of President of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain. We are all so proud of her!

If you’re tired of struggling with an uncomfortable CPAP machine every night, keep reading.

Great news! The FDA has approved new oral sleep appliances that can treat sleep apnea without the hassle of cords, masks, or bulky equipment.

But what are sleep appliances?

They’re simple devices worn while you sleep. By gently positioning your jaw forward, these devices prevent your tongue from blocking your airway, thereby reducing snoring and allowing both you and your partner to rest more peacefully. All of our appliances include adjustable features, allowing us to fine-tune the jaw position for maximum effectiveness.

Want to learn more? Here’s what you can do:

1️⃣ Schedule a visit: We’ll take time to understand your symptoms and concerns.
2️⃣ Explore your options: We’ll walk you through solutions tailored to your sleep challenges.
3️⃣ Find relief: Choose the treatment that works for you and finally get the rest you deserve.

Let’s find out whether a sleep appliance is the right solution for you. Schedule your appointment today!

Are medications my only option for headache pain?
Short answer: No.

For migraines and other headaches, medication can often be a helpful first step, especially when paired with the right supportive treatments. But at Midwest Jaw Relief, it’s never the only path we consider.

New devices have been developed to treat headaches without medication, including:

• Remote electrical neuromodulation (REN)
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
• Vagus nerve stimulators (VNS)
• External trigeminal nerve stimulators (eTNS)

These devices can be worn or carried with you to either stop migraines in their tracks or prevent them from starting in the first place.

You have more options than you think.

Ready to explore the right treatment for you? Contact our office today (608) 285-2853.

Is your headache a puzzle?

Common headaches like migraines and tension headaches can be easy to diagnose - but once your starts to look a little "outside the norm," you might need a specialist to rethink your diagnosis.

Signs your headache may not be a "typical migraine":
• Zapping or electric pain
• Feeling agitated or like you need to run around
• Lasting only a few seconds, or lasting multiple days
• Worse when you lie down, or change positions
• Autonomic symptoms: Tearing, eye redness, nasal congestion, eyelid swelling, or facial flushing, all on the affected side.

Headaches can look puzzling because each patient is unique, but the key to getting a good diagnosis is finding someone who will take the time to put the pieces together.

Contact our office to learn more or schedule an appointment today (608) 285-2853.

Ever wonder why facial pain can feel so intense?

Meet the real culprit: the trigeminal nerve. Think of it as your face’s main communication line.

It carries sensation from your:
• Scalp & forehead
• Eyes & nose
• Ears & mouth

Normally, it transmits pleasant sensations like soft touch and even the texture of your food.

But when this nerve becomes irritated or overactive, it carries powerful pain signals directly to your brain.

The good news? Treatment options are available! A specialist trained in diagnosing facial pain can help you get clarity and relief.
