Can't Sleep? Try Chiropractic!

We all have those nights where we struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep, due to the stress that life readily disperses. Chamomile tea, soft music and a hot bath are common ways to help people get their z's, but did you know that having regular chiropractic adjustments can help with the occasional sleepless night, as well as people who struggle with insomnia on a regular basis? Dr. Ryan Esser of Sioux Falls Chiropractic explains the benefits of chiropractic adjustments as it relates to those who experience a lack of sleep.

“ By having stress in the body, your body is unable to properly function as a whole, which can cause loss of sleep or insomnia.This can be caused through many processes biochemically, as well as muscular dysfunction. For example, If the body isn't able to process its own melatonin (which is a biochemical substance essential for the brain to get that rhythmic sleep pattern) and if the muscles are twitching, this can also affect sleep patterns. So by a chiropractic adjustment, our goal as chiropractors is to release that tension off of the nerves and the central nerve system, there by facilitating normal biochemical and mechanical function of the human body, decreasing affects of insomnia. We also focus on nutritional aspects that can help facilitate normal and healthy biochemical processes to fight the affects of insomnia.”- Dr. Ryan M. Esser

When you come in for your adjustment, be sure to ask your doctor about Myocalm PM, which is a completely pure natural sleep aid/muscle relaxant. Remember, your sleep is far too precious of a thing to waste. Sweet dreams!
