KST A to Z
Sleep apnea, snoring, sweating at night in a 3.5-year-old

On one of my patient's visits, she mentioned that her 3.5-year-old daughter started snoring, was experiencing sleep apnea and sweating profusely while sleeping. The pediatrician prescribed strong nasal steroids. I mentioned KST's success with snoring issues and she decided to give it a try before steroids.
I followed the OD through many priorities, finishing with a hyoid adjustment.
Mother reported that the adjustment cleared up her daughter's snoring and helped her breathing at night. The sweating has also stopped. She sleeps well now (so does the rest of the household!), and they never had to give harmful medications to a 3.5-year-old.
A related case: a friend who could not breathe normally and was using oxygen at night, unable to sleep with an abnormal heartbeat, had cranial and sternum subluxations corrected and no longer needed oxygen, breathing and sleeping normally again.
