Central Sleep Apnea: Addressing Breathing Irregularities at the Source
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) is different from the more common obstructive sleep apnea. Instead of a blocked airway, CSA occurs when the brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. At ADSM in Elmhurst, IL, we provide specialized evaluation and treatment for this complex condition.

Our Approach to Care
