How chiropractic care can benefit your sleep
Everyone loves a good night’s sleep! We spend about a third of our lives sleeping, which is essential for both physical and mental health. Unfortunately, many adults struggle to get enough rest, leading to issues like fatigue, poor concentration, weight gain, and increased risk of diseases.
While people often turn to doctors or medication for help, many overlook the benefits of chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments can naturally reduce pain and tension, making it easier to relax and fall asleep. In fact, 1/3 of people who have regular chiropractic adjustments report that they had immediate sleep improvement. 40% of infants experience deeper sleep after just one adjustment.
Addressing Discomfort in Sleep
Discomfort is another common sleep problem. Proper spine support through the right pillows, mattresses, and sleep positions can make a big difference. At Balanced Spine Chiropractic we also recommend Peace Pillows for our patients with sleep problems. Peace Pillows are a high-density memory foam pillow that helps support the neck and shoulders while sleeping. The unique shape of the pillow lowers the head and neck, allowing for correct spinal alignment in a supportive position. This pillow also helps reduce or eliminate snoring, aids posture, supports upper back and neck muscles, helps with relaxation, and helps stress relief.
Choosing the Right Sleep Position
Choosing the right sleep position is also important. The fetal position, side sleeping, and back sleeping all have benefits, though each comes with considerations like avoiding stiffness or joint pain. Avoid sleeping on your stomach, as it can cause neck and back strain.
With regular chiropractic care, supportive sleep gear, and the right sleeping positions, you can improve your sleep quality. At Balanced Spine Chiropractic, we’re here to help you sleep better and live pain-free!
