Sleep disturbances include insomnia, difficulty falling or staying asleep, restless nights, and waking feeling unrefreshed. Causes range from stress and anxiety to pain, hormonal imbalance, poor sleep hygiene, or misalignment of the spine affecting comfort. Chronic sleep issues lead to fatigue, decreased concentration, and increased risk of other health problems.
Care involves addressing underlying musculoskeletal issues with chiropractic adjustments, recommending optimal mattress and pillow configurations, and introducing relaxation techniques. Acupuncture can promote relaxation and regulate the body's natural rhythms. Herbal supplements such as valerian or kava may support restful sleep. Consistent, holistic treatment helps restore natural sleep patterns and improves quality of rest.
