About Dr. Jonathan ParkerDr. Jonathan A. Parker is the founder of Innovative Sleep Products. As a former partner in the Twin Cities TMJ and Facial Pain Clinic, he evaluated and treated patients with TMJ symptoms, head, neck and facial pain. In 1991, Dr. Parker opened the Snoring and Sleep Apnea Dental Treatment Center to treat patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. He has created and developed two different oral appliances (PM Positioner™ and Adjustable PM Positioner™) to help people who suffer from both sleep disorders.
Through his work, Dr. Parker identified the need for an effective, low-cost treatment for positional snoring and sleep apnea. In 1997, Dr. Parker founded Innovative Sleep Products to develop a solution to this problem. Dr. Parker's Snore Relief Cushion™ is the first product developed by Innovative Sleep Products.
This product treats positional snoring with a cushion that prevents snorers from sleeping on their back. To help educate people and provide them with solutions to their snoring problems, he also authored the booklet, A Guide to Understanding and Treating Snoring, a reference that is today used internationally.
Dr. Parker received his dental degree from the University of Minnesota in 1983. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and the American Board of Orofacial Pain. Throughout his career, he has been an Assistant Clinical Professor of Dentistry at the University of Minnesota, has worked in the Department of TMJ and Craniofacial Pain at the University of Minnesota, and has been on the staff of most of the sleep disorders centers in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding areas.
