NJ Snoring Clinic Celebrates 5th Year Anniversary of Snoring Treatments Bringing a Restful Night of Sleep to New Jersey Area Residents

NJ Snoring and Sinus clinic was founded as a specialty snoring treatment center in December 2005.



    WAYNE, NJ, December 29, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Snoring is a sleep depriving problem affecting 40% of men and 23% of women according to the National Sleep Foundation. Many couples sleep apart due to loud, habitual snoring. This can lead to a lack of intimacy and disharmony in the relationship.

Snoring can be a sign of a serious medical problem called obstructive sleep apnea. Not everyone that snores has OSA; but everyone with OSA snores. People with untreated obstructive sleep apnea have a much greater risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and even automobile accidents. With the Pillar Procedure, doctors are able to effectively treat sleep apnea and snoring.

"As ear, nose and throat physicians, our clinic has always treated patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea," says Dr. Ramtin Kassir, M.D. "There are new techniques and procedures now available that effectively treat snoring and some forms of OSA right in the office. We can now treat snoring effectively in most patients in about 30 minutes." Says Dr. Kassir.

Dr. Kassir revealed his reason for opening the center; "I saw a need in New Jersey for people that snore and needed treatment to solve their problem. Most people that snore just don't know where to go for help. I knew our clinic could offer a service to people in NJ they really need," says Dr. Kassir.

"Our practice has provided these minimally invasive snoring and sleep apnea treatments since 2005. The most effective procedures to treat snoring include The Pillar Procedure to stiffen the soft palate and Radio-frequency Turbinate Reduction for the nose. Both procedures can be done on the same day as your initial consultation and take about 30 minutes to do both. Since most people that snore don't have other medical problems, treatment is simple and easy. They can return to work the same day with minimal discomfort and no down time," says Dr. Kassir.

It is estimated that approximately 40% of the population snores or has sleep apnea. With a population of 9 million people living in the New Jersey area, that's a lot of people with a problem that NJ Snoring and Sinus clinic can help. Dr. Kassir has two office locations, in Wayne and Ridgewood NJ.
