Vivos Therapeutics to Screen Viking Legends for Sleep Apnea at NFLPA's Professional Athletes Foundation's Health and Wellness Checkup

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivos Therapeutics, a company focused on addressing the root causes of mild-to-moderate sleep apnea, in partnership with the Pro Player Health Alliance, is pleased to participate in an NFL Player Association Health and Wellness Checkup on Saturday November 3, in Minneapolis.

An estimated 29 million American adults suffer from sleep apnea, and studies have shown that current and former NFL players are at an even higher risk. Through screening events like this, Vivos certified providers hope to help identify those suffering from sleep apnea and provide a revolutionary course of treatment for players, with the ultimate goal of restoring and opening their airways, allowing more restful sleep and overall wellness.

Among the many players to be screened at the upcoming Minneapolis event are the following Viking legends:

• Carl Eller
• Chuck Foreman
• Alan Page
• Paul Krause
• Mick Tingelhoff
• Greg Coleman
• Joey Browner

"A massive number of Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and most don't even realize it," said Vivos CEO Kirk Huntsman. "Not only is public awareness essential, but also the knowledge that Vivos has a solution that actually works to resolve the root cause. Through our partnership with the NFLPA and screening retired players we hope to raise awareness both for players, and among the greater public."

The Vivos System is proven effective as a non-invasive, non-surgical solution for sleep apnea, a serious disorder which can result from an obstructed airway caused by narrow dental arches and/or underdeveloped jaws. The Vivos System consists of multi-disciplinary therapeutic protocols and oral appliances which increase and enhance the airway. It is the only non-surgical treatment to offer a potentially permanent solution for sleep apnea.
