How chiropractic care can help you sleep better at night
Sleep is one of the absolute necessities of life. While exact sleep requirements vary among individuals, there is no question that we all need regular and restful sleep. However, human sleep is delicate and there are a number of conditions that can easily disturb your sleep and prevent you from getting the rest that is so vital to your health.
Fortunately, Dr. Weigle at Absolute Health Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Gainesville, FL provides specialized, all-natural treatment to address the common sleep problems below, along with many other conditions.
Pain
Over 70 million Americans have difficulty falling or staying asleep. For many of these people, the problem is chronic pain of some sort. A large number turn to narcotic prescription medications just to get a few hours of restful sleep, but these drugs are addictive and often come with harsh side effects.
Skilled chiropractic treatment from an experienced chiropractor like Dr. Weigle provides an effective alternative. No matter where your pain is, or how severe, natural chiropractic treatment can often help a great deal. As your pain lessens, you’ll find that you not only get more sleep, but a deeper, better quality of sleep. This will lead to you awaking feeling rested, refreshed and in better health.
Well-being and peace of mind
As it pertains to sleep, chiropractic treatment offers another major advantage – it’s relaxing. Patients usually find that they feel better and more relaxed after chiropractic adjustments, and this is not due solely to pain relief. Rather, studies have demonstrated that chiropractic manipulation increases neurotensin and oxytocin levels. These are natural compounds found in the body that have many functions, several of which involve a sense of relaxation, well-being and peace of mind. Of course, if you are at peace and relaxed, your sleep will be of a much higher quality than if you’re stressed out and worried.
Sleep is very important for the overall wellbeing of a person. Sleep helps the body and the brain to function properly.
Grinding teeth during sleep
If you often wake up with a sore jaw or mouth, you may be suffering from bruxism, or grinding your teeth while asleep. Bruxism can wear down your teeth over time and cause dental health issues, but it can also result in disturbed sleep. Chiropractic care from Absolute Health Chiropractic provides a holistic, natural solution to this common problem. Dr. Weigle will perform a full evaluation and review your treatment options with you. This may include chiropractic adjustment of the jaw, or temporomandibular joint, as well as advice, counseling and other treatment methods.
Sinus problems and stuffy nose
Everyone knows it’s very difficult to get restful sleep when you have a cold or sinus pressure. That’s one reason why television is filled with commercials for cold and flu sleep medicines. However, these medicines have side effects and can often leave you groggy in the morning. You also should avoid taking them for an extended period of time.
Chiropractic treatment, on the other hand, is completely safe and free of side effects. Careful adjustment and realignment of the spine and bones of the skull can relieve sinus pressure and drainage, when done by a skilled and experienced chiropractor. Patients also usually find that they experience better general health with regular adjustments and a decrease in annoying symptoms like runny noses.
So before you decide to turn to little blue pills or take other drastic measures in your quest for a good night’s sleep, visit Absolute Health Chiropractic in Gainesville. Your complete health and wellness is the main goal of modern chiropractic medicine and the mission of Dr. Weigle.
