Bottom Line:
Neck and back pain are the most common reasons
people experience sleep disturbances. Patients talk about sleeping on the
floor, or sleeping in a lazy boy, or even sleeping bent over their bed
attempting to get into a position that helps them get those few precious
moments of rest and relief. Talk about a pain! All you want is the ability to
get some rest, yet every position seems to make things feel worse. Well, don’t
worry - you’re in the right place to get back on track!
Why it Matters:
Your body needs rest to heal. If you are in pain, it can be challenging to
find a comfortable position to rest. As Chiropractors, we understand this
better than anyone. Chiropractic care has been shown to increase your spinal
range of motion, decrease inflammation, and even reduce the pressure on the
delicate nerves exiting your spinal column - all of which will make it much
easier to find a comfortable sleep position.
- Finding a comfortable position to sleep when
you’re in pain can be difficult.
- Adjustments reduce the stress on your spine,
helping you more easily find a comfortable position to sleep.
- Sleep is essential to healing because your
body is better able to accelerate the healing process when properly rested.
Next Steps:
If stress has kept you up at night, you're not
alone. However, you can rest easy knowing you’re in the right place!
Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce the stress in the muscles supporting
your head and neck, allowing you to experience a more comfortable - and more
restful - night of sleep.
