All human beings need sleep in order to survive, but many of us do not get enough of it. Having an improper sleeping pattern can go as far as to affect our day-to-day lives, including our mood, learning and memory, and physical and mental health. Years worth of scientific studies have even proven this to be true. When we do get the proper amount of sleep, our body becomes replenished and it keeps our heart healthy. In addition to that, sleeping regularly can reduce depression, chronic inflammation, and stress. There are many factors that can lead to sleeping poorly, including an uncomfortable mattress/pillow, too much caffeine/alcohol, snacking before bed, cigarettes, stress, injury/health ailment, etc.
Fortunately, this is an area that chiropractic care has experience in and can easily help with. Some studies have shown that there is an increase in levels of cortisol, which is a stress hormone when the body’s circadian rhythms are disturbed. When these levels remain high for a long period of time, bone density and muscle mass become reduced. As a result, the immune system weakens, and fat accumulates in the abdomen area and begins to affect the thyroid gland. There are many over-the-counter medications that claim to help you get a good night’s sleep, but in actuality, they should never be considered a probable solution. This is because pills can often cause side effects and don’t always treat the problem at hand. In order to have proper sleep, you need to treat the actual cause and this is where a chiropractor can come in and provide the assistance that you need.
What is Chiropractic Care?
Here, at Apex Physiotherapy and Chiropractic, we provide chiropractic care and wellness adjustments that are guaranteed to help you get the sleep that you are in desperate need of. The treatment that we provide improves the blood flow in the nervous system and corrects any misalignments or subluxations that may be located in the spine. This is a necessary treatment to undertake because subluxations compress the nerves, creating a lack of communication between the spine and the brain. It can then cause a stress response which affects the body by putting it out of balance and also making sleeping become a challenge. Luckily enough, this can be easily treated with our chiropractic care.
Regular chiropractic care can solve several problems that may be the cause of sleepless nights. Examples include back pain, breathing problems, and restless leg syndrome. After receiving regular wellness adjustments, many people are happy to see how much their sleep has improved. Regular chiropractic care can even go as far as to improve the symptoms and conditions of patients who are dealing with insomnia. Chiropractic care isn’t only exclusive to adults, but children can benefit from it just as much as well.
