Quality sleep is critical for a better quality of life.
When you sleep well, you have more energy and less stress, making you more
productive and easier to get along with.
However, many people struggle to get a decent night’s
sleep. Sleep quality is not equivalent to the amount of time you spend in bed
but to the time you spend in deep sleep. Read on to understand more about
quality sleep and chiropractic care.
What Causes Poor Sleep Quality?
Numerous issues may compromise the quality of your sleep.
For instance, anxiety and stress are significant causes of poor sleep. In
addition, when you can't shut off your mind at night, you may have difficulty
falling asleep or staying asleep through the night. Some common causes of poor
sleep patterns include the following.
Insomnia
Insomnia is one disorder that harms the quality of your
sleep. Insomnia may make it hard for you to fall asleep or stay asleep. With
insomnia, you often wake up feeling unrefreshed, which can lead to daytime
fatigue and sleepiness.
Insomnia may also make you irritable and decrease your
ability to concentrate during the day. It can also lead to anxiety about going
to bed and a lack of energy during the day.
Anxiety
Anxiety is what you feel when you are stressed out or
worried about something. However, some people experience anxiety so severe that
it interferes with their daily lives.
Chronic Pain
Back pain and arthritis are chronic pain that can make it
difficult to sleep. Pain steals your peace and can make it hard to relax enough
to fall asleep.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder accompanied by breathing
pauses that may last a few seconds to minutes. These breathing pauses can often
happen throughout the night and make it hard to get quality sleep.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help?
Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-surgical health care
approach focusing on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The procedures
can boost your sleep quality as follows.
Reduce Pain
One of the primary benefits of chiropractic care is pain
relief. When you experience less pain, falling asleep and staying asleep
through the night is more manageable. The reason is that you're not tossing and
turning to find a comfortable position.
Chiropractic care can also help reduce chronic pain by
correcting alignment issues and improving the range of motion. In addition,
this procedure can decrease the need for pain medication.
Improve the Nervous System
Chiropractic care can help improve the nervous system, so
the body can function at its best. An improved nervous system leads to better
sleep because the body can relax and heal properly during sleep.
Eliminate Misalignment in the Spine
One of the primary causes of chronic pain is a misalignment
in the spine. When the spine is out of alignment, it puts pressure on the
nerves. The pressure can cause pain, inflammation, and other problems.
Chiropractic care can correct these misalignments, which
take the pressure off the nerves and allow the body to heal. This benefit can
lead to improved sleep because the body can relax properly.

also to improve the quality of your sleep and overall life quality. So, if you
