Expert Tips

– Usually, the root cause of snoring is a birth or acquired trauma to the skull, due to which the outflow of blood from the mucous membranes of the airways is disturbed and the mucous membrane swells. For the same reason, the palatine curtain may lose tone. The muscles that form the curtain of the palate retain little tension due to the branches of the vagus and trigeminal nerves. Trauma creates obstacles in the way the nerves travel to these muscles, which makes the nerves do their job poorly and the muscles lose their tone.  

To get rid of snoring, osteopathic treatment is often effective. The first stage is the restoration of the correct position of the bones of the skull, due to which blood flow is restored, and the previous tone returns to the muscles that suspend the palatine curtain. A curved septum, which is often thought to be the cause of snoring, is actually not always the main cause of snoring.
