Sleep is critical for our health and well-being. If your sleep is suffering due to discomfort, aches, and pains, it can be hard to relax and rest well. Poor sleep can lead to trouble focusing, increased tension, irritability, depression and anxiety symptoms, chronic illness development, and so on. If your spine is misaligned, it could cause increased tension, muscle aches, head pain, sciatica, and an array of symptoms.
Even a slight spinal misalignment can throw your nervous system into a fight-or-flight state. By addressing the misalignment, your nervous system has a better brain/body connection to signal the parasympathetic nervous system, or "rest and digest." This correction can lead to better sleep quality, decreased stress levels, and better reports of quality of life.
Upper cervical-specific adjustments offer a non-invasive approach to address the root cause of your symptoms. By assessing the nervous system, we can clear the interference (or misalignment) between the brain and body so you can start living optimally.
The benefits of chiropractic care and sleep aren’t just for adults. Gentle adjustments can help with infant sleep problems as well. Â
