Finding Your Cure for Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations, especially during periods of rest or inactivity. This condition can disrupt sleep patterns and impact overall quality of life.
In addition to RLS, another related condition is Periodic Limb Movements of Sleep (PLMS), which involves repetitive movements of the legs during sleep, leading to fragmented sleep and daytime fatigue.
At Bogan Sleep Consultants, we understand the impact that RLS and PLMS can have on your daily life, which is why we offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. Our goal is to help you find relief from these symptoms and improve your overall sleep quality.
Our treatment options include:
- Lifestyle modifications
- Medications
- Iron supplements if needed to enhance dopamine signaling for muscle control
- TOMAC tonic motor activation
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
If you experience symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movements of Sleep, or other related conditions, consulting with our sleep specialists can help in determining an appropriate diagnosis and developing a personalized treatment plan to manage these disorders effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if I have restless leg syndrome symptoms?
You may have restless leg syndrome if you experience an irresistible urge to move your legs, especially when at rest, along with uncomfortable sensations in the legs. These sensations are often described as tingling, crawling, or pins and needles. The urge to move your legs can also be accompanied by muscle twitching or jerking movements.
What are some of the most common restless leg syndrome causes?
Restless leg syndrome can be caused by various factors such as:
- Iron deficiency
- Kidney failure
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Pregnancy
- Medication side effects
Because there is likely an underlying cause, it’s important to receive a proper evaluation from a specialist to determine the root of your restless leg syndrome.
What can I expect during a restless leg syndrome test?
During a restless leg syndrome test, you can expect us to evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and conduct a physical examination or recommend sleep studies to diagnose the condition accurately.
At Bogan Sleep Consultants, we use remote patient monitoring to track your movements and sleep patterns to make a definitive diagnosis. This allows us to provide personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
