 Sleeping
Problems
Surveys have shown that
between 40 and 60% of the general population had trouble sleeping. Stress,
daily worries, body aches, pain, uncomfortable beds or pillows, imbalance
of body chemistry, poor diet and a host of other issues can keep one from
getting the optimum amount of sleep. Sleep is critical to good health. It
is vital in the health of the immune system and in the function of the
brain. Through sleep the body regenerates and recharges for the next day.
The use of sleeping pills do little to correct the cause of sleeping
problems, and can lead to addiction and rebound insomnia Some tips for
healthy sleep are: exercise regularly, limit caffeine, eat an early
dinner, don’t drink cold water (room temperature is best) at night, keep
the bedroom cool and see a Gonstead chiropractor.
Gonstead Chiropractic and Sleeping Problems
Gonstead chiropractors are trained at treating spinal problems that can
cause difficult sleep. In addition, Gonstead doctors can offer nutritional
and ergonomic advice (pillows and mattress) that can help improve the
quality of your sleep. Chiropractic can help with all ages as well. A
study involving 211 5-day-olds suffering from sleeplessness found “spinal
adjustments frequently resulted in immediate quieting, cessation of
crying, muscular relaxation and sleepiness.”
What patients are saying:
“Sleep has improved. I can sleep 8+ hours a night and it doesn’t take
hours to fall asleep.”
> Jill F.
“Able to sleep better.”
> Lynn D.
“The care I have received not only has alleviated my pain, but also has
helped to restore my health by improving my sleep quality and reducing
anxiety.”
> K.H.
