Dr. Macdonald about the pillar procedure.

Snoring can contribute to stress and conflict for both sleep partners. The more serious condition associated with snoring – sleep apnea – can lead to major problems like heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.

The Pillar Procedure is a simple, minimally invasive option for treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and disruptive snoring. The Pillar Procedure is less invasive and less painful than other surgical procedures, can be completed in a single, short office visit and is FDA-approved and clinically proven, with results comparable to more aggressive surgical procedures.

Most patients soon report a noticeable, lasting reduction in snoring. In clinical studies, sleep apnea was reduced in nearly 80% of patients. Patients also experienced less daytime sleepiness.
