About SIS

The Sleep Institute of Spokane is committed to the highest quality care using state-of-the-art equipment and close physician to patient relationships that are essential to the management of sleep disorders.

 

Common Complaints evaluated and treated include snoring, breathing-related sleep disorders, sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness, restless legs (RLS), sleepwalking, night terrors and problems with initiating and/or maintaining sleep.

 

All consultations are performed by board certified professionals trained in sleep-related disorders, experienced in the treatment of all age groups from pediatrics to geriatric patients.

 

Treatment options vary according to the sleep disorder that is present. For people with insomnia, it may be a matter of sleep regulation, practicing good sleep hygiene, and in some cases a mild sleeping medication may be prescribed for short-term use.

 

People with sleep apnea may benefit by simply changing sleep position, using a nasal decongestant while the more profound cases benefit from from the use of the highly effective positive airway pressure devices that use air pressure to prop the airway open during sleep. Other treatments include oral appliances and various surgeries.

 

Other sleep-related disorders are treated using a combination of medications and encouraging patients to practice good sleep hygiene.

 

The Sleep Institute prides itself on being the Inland Northwest's leading sleep center and will provide the quality care needed to address all patient complaints related to their Sleep Disorder.
