Treating Insomnia with ChiropracticAre you having trouble sleeping at night?  Are YOU looking for a better night’s sleep? If your answer was yes, you are certainly not alone. Statistics show that waking up each morning refreshed and ready to take on your day is a dream for a very large number of people!  Not to worry because Café of Life Chiropractic in Longmont can help.  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.

How Café of Life Chiropractic Can Help with Insomnia

Any good chiropractor focuses on the body’s overall health. We understand that with so many various reasons for insomnia and types of insomnia, it’s important to view the mind and body as a whole and treat it accordingly.  Extra bonus: chiropractic care for insomnia can help you steer clear of risky prescription drugs and their side effects.

When the central nervous system is healthy and functioning properly all the systems of the body function properly as well.  Interferences (aka subluxations) to your nervous system can cause a myriad of health concerns—including insomnia. Those subluxations really disrupt your body’s essential ability to heal itself.

Along with regular chiropractic adjustments, our amazing Longmont based chiropractor, Dr Jessica Thompson, recommends a few simple lifestyle changes to aid in a solid night of restful sleep:

  • Limit caffeine intake
  • Regular exercise
  • Avoid excessive alcohol intake
  • Support your spine with a quality mattress and pillow

There is hope for relieving your insomnia. Become one of the many happy chiropractic clients that have reported restful and restorative sleep after their adjustments. Let our well trained Longmont chiropractor adjust your spine with her careful and skilled techniques to get you a good night’s sleep.
