Sleep apnea is regularly treated with Chinese Medicine and results are quite good. In Chinese Medicine, however, you really treat what are called diagnostic patterns and not individual issues like in Western Medicine (read What Does Acupuncture Treat? for more info on this). Sleep apnea is a condition that can arise from multiple patterns (some are complicated) and some will resolve quicker than others in general. There is a previous discussion in our forums that discusses some of the main ones. And over time we'll have a more comprehensive section on it when we get time to write it - as it is treated quite often.
