Sleep Apnea Expert Offers Incentives That Could Save Lives

Dr. Jonathan Greenburg, a Southern California sleep apnea expert, has found a way to help patients win the battle against the epidemic of untreated sleep apnea by offering special incentives to help them get the treatment they need.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 27, 2009 -- Dr. Jonathan Greenburg, a Southern California sleep apnea expert, has found a way to help patients win the battle against the epidemic of untreated sleep apnea by offering special incentives to help them get the treatment they need.

"There are literally thousands of people in LA County alone who are suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, who have had a sleep study done and tried using a CPAP machine which their Doctor prescribed for their treatment. Unfortunately, more than 50% of these people can't tolerate the CPAP machine and aren't aware there are other options that really work. So instead, they don't get treated with anything and suffer the devastating effects of their sleep apnea condition," says Greenburg.

Statistics show that obstructive sleep apnea affects over 18 million people; left untreated, clinical studies have shown sleep apnea increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, diabetes and obesity. OSA is a progressive disease, but fortunately, new treatment options, including Dr. Greenburg's patent-pending oral appliance, offer a more than 88% success rate.

Dr. Jonathan Greenburg, who has been successfully treating OSA patients, especially those who are C-PAP intolerant, for the past five years admits to spending "hundreds of thousands of dollars on radio advertising to get the word out." Effective immediately, Dr. Greenburg has decided to take a new approach to address the epidemic.
