Fight Pain With a Chiropractic Boost and Better Sleep

By Sandy Schroeder

Tired of aching joints, a stiff neck, or a sore back? Chiropractic may have the natural drug-free solution that you need; additionally, a good night's sleep may help by increasing your tolerance to pain. If you start and end the day with aches and pain, it's time to find the best answers.

Take the Chiropractic Path

The Joint Chiropractic clinic in your community staffs a wellness center that helps individuals of all ages find lasting solutions for pain.

Your chiropractor focuses on improving spinal health, which often improves overall health. The spine keeps us mobile, and the central nervous system inside supplies the brain-to-body communication needed.

Gentle targeted spinal adjustments may ease your pain and create an overall sense of well-being. You may experience any of these benefits.

  • Relief from wrist, arm, elbow or shoulder pain
  • Relief from back and neck pain
  • Relief from leg, knee, foot or ankle pain
  • Relief from arthritis or bursitis

You may also gain improved nerve communication, improved posture, better sleep and relief from stress and tension.

Too Little Sleep Agitates Pain

Researchers say getting a good night's sleep can make a difference in the pain that you feel. A recent study in The Journal of Neuroscience reports a lack of sleep may increase your sensitivity to pain.

When you sleep poorly the pain centers in the brain react differently to pain. If you get up in the morning after a restless night, those stiff joints may hurt more. Your sore neck or back may also hurt more if you have stayed up too late, or kept waking up.

Researchers found the individuals studied experienced a 120 percent increased reaction from the part of the brain that interprets pain when they were sleep-deprived. In contrast, the individuals who slept for eight hours had a much higher threshold for pain.

Overall, an adequate level of sleep may provide an added layer of resilience for you when you are struggling for pain.

Get the Sleep You Need

Make sleep a priority to feel better.

  • Set a regular bedtime and stick to it
  • Create a sleep refuge in your bedroom
  • Use light-blocking drapes and air filters to screen out noise
  • Upgrade your mattress and pillow
  • Shut down electronics at least two hours before bedtime
  • Develop a sleep ritual with soft music, warm baths or a simple snack
  • Eliminate as much daily stress as possible
