Sleeping?

More than 70 million Americans (Almost 22%) suffer from some form of sleepinglessness or wakefulness. 60% if those have chronic sleep disorder with no cure. Many of these people turn to pharmecutical drugs for temporary treatment of their condition. Nearly nine million Americals take pills an drugs to aid in sleeping each night. People who choose this perpetural cycle not only put thier body at risk of dangerous side effects, but also choose a path that never truly targets the cause of the sleeplessness. 

Many Factors contribute to sleep trouble. The most consistent issues affecting healthly sleep patterns can be traced to the body's regulation of healthly sleep hormones. Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from sleep problems. Research findings consistently reaffirm that women endure more hormone changes in a typical week than men. Chriopractic spinal adjustments seve as an example of an ovrelooked and underused option proven to sleep patterns. Long considered to be a remedy for back pain and muscloskeletal sysptoms, studies prov that adjusting the sping successfully changes hormones that aid the sleep cycle. 

These hormones and chemical messengers can be changed and improved through spinal adjustments. Millions of chiropractic patients around the world each week report a side effect of deeper sleep and less wakefullness after beginning chiropractic care. Scientific literature traces this postive outcome directly back to imporoved performance within the nervous system.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
