Insomnia, along with other sleep disorders, can be treated with chiropractic care.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, insomnia is defined as “difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, even when a person has the chance to do so.” Adequate sleep is critical to your health and overall wellness. Sleep is your body’s time to repair, renew and prepare for the new day.
Insomnia is such a complicated condition that can be transient (short lived) or chronic. It can also be caused by numerous factors both physical and mental. Neurological conditions can be a sleep disrupter– Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, mental health disorders like depression and anxiety.
Other possible causes include allergies, chronic pain, thyroid problems, gastrointestinal issues, substances like stimulants or prescription medications, and many more. Insomnia can even be self-induced by a busy, stressful daily routine.
Sleep deprivation has been linked to obesity and can increase your susceptibility to all kinds of diseases. It weakens your immune system which opens the door to communicable illnesses like the cold or flu.
