Have you avoided treatment for obstructive sleep apnea because you thought a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine was your only treatment option? Or maybe you have a CPAP and find sleeping difficult with the mask, hoses, and noise.
Lindsay Boles, FNP-C, is the first certified Inspire Sleep practitioner in North Carolina.
Inspire is a small, internal device that works from the inside to treat sleep apnea. The device is placed under the skin of the neck and chest during a short outpatient procedure and treats the underlying cause of the condition. Gentle stimulation “alerts” the airway muscles during sleep. We are pleased to note, Nurse Practitioner Lindsay Boles, of Lung & Sleep Wellness Center, is the very FIRST certified Inspire practitioner in North Carolina.
With Inspire, there is no need for a mask or a hose. When you are ready to sleep, you simply click the remote and turn it on. The device opens your airway while you sleep, allowing for normal breathing and more restful sleep.
There are so many benefits to Inspire. Traveling is easy with Inspire.
- 90% of partners report NO snoring or soft snoring
- 94% of people are satisfied with Inspire
- 79% in reduction of sleep apnea events
- 96% of Inspire patients say Inspire is better than CPAP and would recommend it to others

Inspire is the only FDA-approved obstructive sleep apnea treatment that works inside your body to treat the root cause of sleep apnea. It has been proven both safe and effective in multiple clinical studies. Find out more on the Inspire website.

To learn more about Inspire, schedule a consultation with our trained medical provider to evaluate your overall health and sleep apnea condition to see if this device is suitable for you.
Most insurance providers offer coverage for Inspire, including Medicare. Insurance approval can take from a few days to a few weeks. Our office is happy to help with the documentation for insurance coverage.
Once approved, we’ll schedule your procedure. We’ll have a follow-up appointment to turn on the device, make adjustments for your needs – and you can get back to a better night’s sleep.
