I have high-grade apnea and I use a CPAP for years (and yes, it changed my life for the better!). Just last week I started an acupuncture treatment in which the doctor applies very small electric shocks to a muscle that pulls the tongue a little, for 30 minutes. I was explained this is a bit like physiotherapy, but for the tongue and mouth. I did my first session last week and I already felt some improvement. I have 4 more sessions to go. I cannot stop using the CPAP because my apnea index is pretty high, but it might work for someone with a mild level. Note that even though I mentioned acupuncture, this is not a "new age" or alternative-style treatment. In my country (Brazil) acupuncture is actually regulated by the Health Ministry, and this treatment is accepted by the local medical community.
