    Can A Chiropractor Really Help You Sleep Better?

    Published by The Doctors at Sentinel

    According to the American Sleep Association, 50 – 70 million Americans have a sleep disorder. Sleep disorders impact the quality, amount, and type of sleep you get. 

    Getting a good night’s sleep is very important for our body and mind. A lack of sleep may increase the likelihood of developing severe health conditions like dementia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and various cancers.

    There are also many fantastic benefits of getting a good night’s sleep, including: 

    • A healthy immune system
    • Improves concentration 
    • Easier to maintain a healthy weight 
    • Lowers the risk for serious health problems (diabetes, heart disease)
    • Reduces stress and improves your mood
    • Improves athletic performance

    The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults get between 7 – 9 hours of sleep per night to keep their bodies happy and healthy. 

    However, getting this many hours of sleep isn’t always easy. Stress and many medical conditions, especially those that cause chronic pain, can stop you from getting the sleep your body needs. 

    There are many ways a chiropractor helps treat sleep deprivation but here are the top three. 

    1. It can help reduce chronic pain

    If you’re experiencing chronic migraines or pain in your neck, back, hips, legs or joints that are keeping you awake at night, then visiting a chiropractor may be the best option for you. 

    The connection between sleep and pain is somewhat of a vicious cycle. Pain can cause a lack of sleep, and this lack of sleep can lead to more pain. 

    When you visit a chiropractor, they’ll perform a physical exam to get to the source of your pain and develop a treatment plan. 

    Numerous studies have shown how chiropractic adjustments can alleviate chronic pain without using drugs or surgery.

    1. It’s an effective sleep disorder treatment 

    Chiropractic care is also a recommended treatment for various sleep conditions, including insomnia and sleep apnea. This is because spinal manipulations are a great way to reduce the tension in your body that can lead to insomnia. 

    Your chiropractor will also recommend a range of stretches, exercises, and lifestyle changes to help you get a better night’s sleep.

    Sleep apnea is a condition that causes pauses in breathing during sleep that last 10 – 20 seconds. Chiropractic adjustments of the neck help support the muscles and soft tissues in the area, reducing tension and promoting better breathing, making it an effective sleep apnea solution.

    1. It can help reduce stress

    Stress is one of the most common reasons people toss and turn late into the night.

    Seeing a chiropractor can help you sleep better by decreasing your body’s stress hormone – Cortisol. 

    If you’re stressed, your brain might feel completely wired when ready to go to bed. This is because Cortisol has a similar effect on the body to caffeine; the more stressed you feel, the more your body produces. 

    Chiropractic adjustments to your spine will decrease your body’s cortisol and leave you feeling relaxed and peaceful come bedtime.

    Whether it’s chronic pain, stress, sleep apnea, or insomnia stopping your body from getting the sleep it needs to be healthy, chiropractic care can help.
