Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center (805-557-9930) announces the expansion of its treatment options for obstructive sleep apnea, now offering Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation therapy for patients in Malibu, Thousand Oaks, and the surrounding areas who struggle with CPAP.
-- Thousand Oaks-based Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center has announced that it now offers Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation therapy as an alternative treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. The innovative therapy is designed to help patients who have been unable to tolerate traditional CPAP machines, offering a new path to improved sleep quality and overall health.

Unlike traditional CPAP therapy, which relies on external equipment, Inspire works entirely inside the body and synchronizes with the patient's natural breathing patterns. Dr. Ronald Popper, Board Certified in Sleep Disorders Medicine by both the ABSM and the ABIM, evaluates each patient's overall health and performs a physical examination of the airway to determine if Inspire therapy is a suitable alternative.
Research shows that a significant percentage of patients struggle with CPAP compliance. Studies indicate that long-term adherence to CPAP therapy can be as low as 30 percent in some patient populations, with non-adherence rates ranging from 46 to 83 percent when adherence is defined as more than four hours of usage per night.
The Inspire system addresses these compliance challenges through its innovative approach. While patients sleep, the device delivers gentle stimulation to the hypoglossal nerve, which controls tongue and airway muscle movement. This stimulation keeps the tongue and other tissues from blocking the airway, allowing normal breathing throughout the night without requiring masks or hoses.
"Inspire therapy represents a significant advancement for patients who haven't found success with traditional CPAP," a spokesperson from the center explains. "The system works with the body's natural breathing process, which many patients find more comfortable and sustainable over time."
The center has been fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine since 1985 and serves patients from Malibu, Conejo Valley, San Fernando Valley, and Simi Valley. The team's extensive experience in sleep disorders medicine positions them to offer comprehensive evaluations and determine the most appropriate treatment path for each patient's unique situation.
"Finding the right sleep specialist changed everything for us," one patient recently stated. "From the receptionist to the sleep technician, everyone demonstrated real expertise in their field. Through thorough testing and patient communication, they identified and successfully addressed an issue that affected my entire life. The improvement in how I feel each day has been remarkable."
