So my dad suffers from sleep apnea. He has a CPAP and was doing really well. I don't know what happened but it is now less effective. Previously, he trialed a bunch of different lifestyle changes (losing weight (barely), reading, avoiding alcohol, different sleeping postitions, etc.) I was brainstorming and came up with the idea of Chiropractic adjustments. Has anyone done this? It sounds like a nice "easy" fix, no weight loss or alcohol restriction, but I'm a bit skeptical if it will work.

I would appreciate some insight if anyone has tried it!

Hi @OliviaL

How are you doing today?

It's a bummer the CPAP machine isn't being as effective as it was previously! I'm sure you will make it back to having a sound night sleep soon. Let me tag a few other members to see if they have any experience with a chiropractor resolving their sleep apnea!

Have you gotten any chiropractic adjustments for your sleep apnea? Did it help? Were the results long lasting? Would you recommend this treatment?

Take care,
