Comprehensive Sleep Medicine Care at Momentum Medical

If you’re struggling with sleep issues, you’re in the right place. At Momentum Medical, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of sleep disorders to help you achieve restorative, high-quality sleep.

Dr. Jose Ochoa, a board-certified sleep medicine physician, leads our sleep health program with expertise in identifying and addressing the root causes of sleep disturbances to improve your overall well-being.

A Holistic Approach to Sleep Health
Sleep is essential for optimal health, affecting everything from cognitive function and mood to metabolism and cardiovascular health. Unfortunately, millions of people suffer from undiagnosed sleep disorders that negatively impact their daily lives. At Momentum Medical, we go beyond quick fixes—we assess the underlying factors contributing to your sleep issues and create a customized plan to restore healthy sleep patterns.
Our Philosophy: Addressing the Root Cause of Sleep Disorders
Rather than simply treating symptoms, we take a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to sleep medicine. Sleep disorders are often linked to respiratory issues, metabolic imbalances, stress, or poor sleep hygiene. Dr. Jose Ochoa takes the time to understand your unique health concerns, identify contributing factors, and develop personalized strategies to achieve long-term sleep improvement.
What is Sleep Medicine?

Sleep medicine is a specialized field dedicated to diagnosing and managing disorders that interfere with restful sleep. Sleep disorders can contribute to serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and cognitive decline. Our goal is to provide targeted treatments that not only improve sleep but also enhance your overall quality of life.

Some of the most common sleep disorders Dr. Ochoa and our team diagnose and treat at Momentum Medical include:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – Repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep due to airway obstruction, often leading to snoring, fatigue, and serious health risks.
  • Insomnia – Difficulty falling or staying asleep, often linked to stress, anxiety, or lifestyle factors.
  • Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) – A neurological condition that causes discomfort in the legs, often leading to disrupted sleep.
  • Narcolepsy – A disorder affecting the brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness.

Circadian Rhythm Disorders – Misalignment of the body’s internal clock, making it difficult to sleep and wake at the right times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sleep Medicine at Momentum Medical
Sleep is essential for overall health, yet millions of people struggle with sleep disorders that affect their energy, focus, and long-term well-being. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about sleep medicine and how Dr. Jose Ochoa, a board-certified sleep medicine physician, and the Momentum Medical team can help you achieve restorative, high-quality sleep.
When should I see a sleep specialist?

You should consider seeing a sleep specialist if you experience:

  • Loud snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep (potential sleep apnea)
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness or trouble staying awake
  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep (insomnia)
  • Unexplained fatigue, mood changes, or lack of focus
  • Restless legs, tingling sensations, or discomfort at night
  • Frequent nightmares or unusual movements during sleep
  • Trouble adjusting to shift work or irregular sleep schedules

If poor sleep is affecting your health, work, or daily activities, a sleep evaluation can help identify the root cause and provide effective treatment options.

What are the most common sleep disorders you treat?

At Momentum Medical, we diagnose and treat a variety of sleep disorders, including:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – A condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway blockage.
  • Insomnia – Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early.
  • Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) – Uncomfortable sensations in the legs, often leading to sleep disruption.
  • Narcolepsy – A neurological disorder causing excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep episodes.
  • Circadian Rhythm Disorders – Disruptions in the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, often due to shift work or jet lag.
  • Parasomnias – Unusual behaviors during sleep, such as sleepwalking, nightmares, or night terrors.

If you experience any of these conditions, Dr. Ochoa will help determine the best course of action for diagnosis and treatment.

What is a sleep study, and do I need one?

A sleep study (polysomnography) is a diagnostic test that monitors your breathing, heart rate, brain waves, and muscle activity while you sleep. It helps diagnose sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and other sleep disorders.

There are two main types of sleep studies:

  • In-Lab Sleep Study – Conducted in a sleep center with advanced monitoring.
  • Home Sleep Test (HST) – A simplified test used primarily for diagnosing sleep apnea in the comfort of your home.

If you experience persistent sleep issues, Dr. Ochoa may recommend a sleep study to provide the most accurate diagnosis.

What treatments are available for sleep disorders?

Treatment options vary based on your diagnosis but may include:

  • CPAP Therapy – A continuous positive airway pressure machine to keep airways open during sleep for sleep apnea.
  • Oral Appliance Therapy – A custom mouthpiece that repositions the jaw to prevent airway collapse.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) – A structured, medication-free approach to improving sleep habits.
  • Lifestyle & Behavioral Modifications – Addressing factors like diet, exercise, stress, and screen time before bed.
  • Medications (When Necessary) – Used selectively for conditions like narcolepsy or restless legs syndrome.

Every treatment plan is personalized to address your specific sleep challenges and improve your overall health.

Can poor sleep affect my long-term health?

Yes! Chronic sleep deprivation or untreated sleep disorders can lead to:

  • Increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
  • Weight gain and metabolic issues, including diabetes.
  • Weakened immune function and increased inflammation.
  • Memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and mood disorders like depression or anxiety.
  • Higher risk of workplace or driving accidents due to fatigue.

Getting proper sleep is just as important as diet and exercise in maintaining overall wellness.

How can I improve my sleep quality at home?

Here are a few sleep hygiene tips recommended by Dr. Ochoa:

  • Stick to a consistent sleep schedule – Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily.
  • Create a relaxing bedtime routine – Avoid screens, caffeine, and heavy meals before bed.
  • Optimiz
  • Maintain a Consistent Sleep Schedule – Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your circadian rhythm.
  • Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine – Engage in calming activities before bed, such as reading, meditation, or a warm bath, to signal your body it’s time to wind down.
  • Limit Screen Time Before Bed – Avoid blue light from phones, tablets, and TVs at least 60 minutes before sleep, as it suppresses melatonin production.
  • Keep Your Bedroom Cool, Dark, and Quiet – Set the temperature between 60-67°F (15-19°C), use blackout curtains, and minimize noise with white noise machines or earplugs.
  • Invest in a Comfortable Mattress and Pillows – A supportive mattress and pillows tailored to your sleeping position can significantly improve sleep quality.
  • Limit Caffeine and Alcohol Intake – Avoid caffeine 6 hours before bedtime and alcohol at least 3 hours before sleep, as both can disrupt sleep cycles.
  • Get Sunlight Exposure During the Day – Natural sunlight exposure, especially in the morning, helps regulate melatonin production and improves sleep quality.
  • Exercise Regularly (But Not Too Late) – Engaging in physical activity during the day promotes deeper sleep, but avoid intense workouts within 3 hours of bedtime.
  • Avoid Heavy Meals Close to Bedtime – Eating large meals right before bed can cause discomfort and acid reflux, disrupting sleep.
  • Use Your Bed for Sleep Only – Avoid working, watching TV, or scrolling on your phone in bed. This trains your brain to associate the bed with sleep only.

What happens during a sleep consultation?

Currently, insurance does not cover functional medicine services at Momentum Medical. Traditional insurance plans are designed to cover symptom-focused, conventional treatments such as brief doctor visits, pharmaceutical prescriptions, and standard lab tests. Unfortunately, this model does not support the comprehensive, root-cause approach that functional medicine provides, which includes advanced diagnostic testing, extended consultations, and personalized treatment plans.

However, we strive to make our services accessible by offering flexible payment options:

  • Health Savings Accounts (HSA) & Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) – Many of our services are eligible for HSA and FSA payments.
  • Flexible Payment Plans – We offer customized payment options to help make functional medicine care more affordable.

At Momentum Medical, our priority is to deliver high-quality, personalized care without the restrictions of insurance. This allows us to provide thorough, patient-centered treatment plans designed to optimize your health and well-being.
