Otherwise known as constant positive airway pressure, CPAP therapy is the gold standard choice in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with significantly higher success rates than corrective surgery or dental appliances in moderate to severe cases. A pressure is applied gently to the airway to relieve flaccid anatomical muscle tone during sleep through an externally affixed mask. The patient’s perception is that like a fan, that translates into an airway splint or pressure to keep the airway open during sleep. Through repetitive use and as their pre-treatment symptoms subside, improved breathing is achieved.

Facials are a fantastic way to practice self-care and offer a variety of benefits. Their main purpose is to help your skin look and feel its best by helping to promote collagen development, improve blood circulation, cleanse, open the pores to free any bacteria buildup, remove blemishes, improve overall skin tone, and boost cell regeneration. Facials also provide benefits beyond healthy-looking skin! They are an important way to relieve stress, boost your mood and promote relaxation, and can also reduce congestion in the sinuses by opening the lymph nodes and encouraging the sinuses to clear any fluid buildup.

As parents know, children’s feet can grow quickly, meaning shoes that fit last month can be squishing their toes today. Here are a few tips; 1. Look for signs of irritation. 2. Don’t choose shoes “they’ll grow into.” 3. Don’t pass shoes to siblings. 4. Do look for a shoe with support. Take the toe and heel and try to bend them toward each other. The shoe should bend where your foot bends. Try to spiral the shoe, moving the toe and heel in opposite directions. You want a little movement. Finally, pinch the heel counter. You want it to be firm. 5. Size well, size to the longest toe.
