Good sleep is essential to the optimal function of your body and the enhancement of your overall well-being. If you suffer from poor sleep or insomnia, it can be extremely challenging to achieve a higher level of health. At Chiro-Med Health Center in Lynchburg, our professional chiropractic treatments can promote a better night’s sleep and help you treat your insomnia. 

What are the effects of insomnia?

Most adults need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night in order to feel their best. When insomnia strikes, it can be almost impossible to get enough sleep. Without proper rest, you won’t just feel sleepy during the day - insomnia has been proven to be associated with a higher risk of developing health problems like brain fog, memory impairment, high blood pressure, stroke, depression, anxiety, and obesity. 

Sleep loss or interrupted sleep may also be the result of sleep apnea, an extremely common condition that causes the sufferer to repeatedly wake up during the night. 

How can chiropractic improve my sleep?

Chiropractic has helped countless patients with sleep problems. In fact, according to the National Sleep Foundation, almost one-third of chiropractic patients reported better sleep after their adjustments. 

Chiropractic care treats several factors that directly contribute to insomnia, such as muscle tension, headaches, sleep apnea, and chronic pain. When your muscles become more relaxed and your body’s stress levels are reduced, it is much easier for you to fall asleep and stay asleep. Chiropractic can also treat sleep apnea by improving your posture and reducing blockages in your throat that could be obstructing your airflow. 

Dr. Tinoosh can also provide guidance on the best postures for sleeping and strengthening exercises to help you improve your posture. Once your body is in the correct alignment, it will be able to fall asleep without being kept awake by pain, stiffness, or discomfort.
