Welcome

America's aging baby boomers are discovering that they snore! That's because snoring tends to be an age-related condition. Increasingly, in my practice, I meet people who snore. In the last thirty years, scientists have identified many factors that cause people to snore and age-related snoring is very common. Other factors include gender (more men snore than woman) and weight. Body weight often increases with age, and an associated loss of muscle tone in neck tissue can result in a constriction that is linked to snoring. Anatomically, there may also be structures in the nose that cause a person to snore. A nose and throat exam is a starting point that can reveal a nasal obstruction, a large uvula, enlarged tonsils or an enlarged tongue.

Fortunately, there are more solutions for America's seventy-five million baby boomers than ever before. Today's health consumers have a wide range of non surgical and surgical options. This Web site will guide you through snoring-related problems, help you evaluate your snoring and provide information that will help you make a decision about how or when to seek help.
