Suffering from a lack of sleep? Chiropractic care can help!
If you’re one of the 50 to 70 million people in the United States who spend their nights tossing, turning, or constantly waking up, you know just how miserable you can feel the next day. The long-term effects of consistent sleep deprivation are real. It can put your physical health at risk and has been linked to excessive fatigue, poor concentration, memory issues, weakened immunity, weight gain, increased risk for major illness, and more. Thankfully, chiropractic care provides a non-invasive, non-medicinal solution to getting a better night’s sleep.
What Causes Insomnia?
While insomnia can occur for many reasons, one of the primary causes is stress. When left uncontrolled, stress can lead to increased heart rate, muscle tension, headaches, and anxiety.
Pain is also a significant factor in insomnia. Muscle pain, injuries, or chronic pain can make sleep (or falling asleep) difficult as well.
Sometimes the wrong sleep environment is the root cause of insomnia. An old, uncomfortable bed, a bright light, a too hot or too cold room, or too much or lack of noise can all make sleep difficult.
