As a clinic we believe in a multidisciplinary approach, treating patients as a whole and not just their symptoms. Our goal is to address all possible causes of your sleep problem to achieve long-term relief from disturbed sleep.
While still providing effective medical treatments like CPAP, MAD, and corrective surgeries, we also approach sleep disorders from multiple angles.
The cause of a sleep disorder varies from person to person. It could be physical, mental, social, or environmental. With a dedicated, multidisciplinary team, all working together, Auckland Sleep gives you the best chance of a successful outcome.
Aspects of your lifestyle are often the root cause of your sleep problems. Whether it is dietary changes, increased exercise, night-time rituals, or reducing stress, making positive changes to your lifestyle can drastically improve your sleep. Our team can help you make these changes and support you on your journey to better sleep.
