Insomnia? Chiropractic Care Is Your Solution

Are you suffering from insomnia? Would you be able to recognize the symptoms if they showed up? What would you do to cure it? Sadly, most people don’t deal with the causes of insomnia and try to fix the symptoms with drugs or alcohol and other ineffective approaches. For millions of people suffering from insomnia, chiropractic care can offer long-term relief. Let’s go over the basics of insomnia for further understanding and how chiropractic care can help.

The Basics Of Insomnia

Insomnia is a disorder that has many causes and symptoms. This is probably why most people get relief from certain treatments and not from others. However, the main cause of insomnia for most people is stress.

When people suffer from stress for a long time their heart rates tend to be faster and they have unnecessary tension in various muscle groups. Small and short-term insomnia may be experienced by most adults in their lives when they experience a traumatic event, such as a death in their family or a severe injury.

On the other hand, chronic insomnia is much more different and severe. Often, intense anxiety can be the root of this chronic sleep disorder. Extreme pain is another common cause, it can be from an injury or accident. Pain has the power to keep people awake and make it hard for them to sleep easily. There could be a dozen reasons that can keep you awake. Bright lights, loud noises, bad mattresses, and even uncomfortable temperatures are some of the typical examples.

Insomnia Symptoms

Most people don’t know how to recognize insomnia symptoms. The main symptom is the low quality of sleep. But there is so much more than that. Here are some of the most common and frequent symptoms of insomnia:

• Forgetting things throughout the day
• Lack of energy during the day
• Waking up during the night and not being able to sleep again
• Trouble going to sleep at night
• Waking up tired even if you slept enough
• Struggling to maintain concentration
• Waking up earlier than intended and not being able to go back to sleep
• Unexplained depression
• Low quality of life
• Mood changes you can’t explain

It’s important to note that most people that suffer from insomnia don’t have all of these symptoms but display at least one of them. You need to keep a lookout for behavior changes that you have no explanation for. It’s a good idea to list all of the possible symptoms related to insomnia. When you come to your chiropractic appointment you’ll be able to refer to that list and explain it to your chiropractor.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

You might have tried sleeping pills or an alcoholic drink to help you fall asleep. The majority of the time, these aids can only offer temporary assistance. But these will only damage your body. The solution is to treat the causes of insomnia and not the symptoms. That solution is chiropractic treatment. It will restore your body’s ability to heal itself.

Chiropractors get to the root of insomnia by helping you relieve stress. Stress can really mess with your immune system. An effective way to relieve stress is stretching and exercise. One of our chiropractors can teach you how to stretch to reduce tension properly.

Spinal adjustments are one of the main ways chiropractors help people with this sleep disorder. Adjustments can reduce tension on specific nerves and they can also boost your immune system.
