Chiropractic Care for Pain-Free Sleep

By Donna Stark

Is it difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep in because spasms and tense muscles are waking you up during the night? Do you wish you could just get some quality rest for once? Although you may not hear as many people talking about it, upper back pain can be just as painful and disruptive to your life as lower back pain can, especially during the night when you are trying to get some much-needed rest! If you would like some ideas on how to fall and stay asleep, take a look at what your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic recommend below.

Get Adjusted

Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with pinched nerves, poor alignment, joint dysfunction, and muscle strains and sprains. Pretty much anything that has to do with your back, neck, and shoulders, your chiropractor can help, so it's easy to see how regular adjustments can help you get the sleep your body is screaming for. On top of that, your local chiropractors will give you guidance on how to achieve complete relaxation of your body so you can look forward to quality and restorative sleep. Don't hesitate to come in to The Joint Chiropractic for a visit. It may end up being the best decision you make for yourself!

Use the Proper Sleeping Position

If you are sure your pain doesn't stem from an injury, the first place to look for the cause of your discomfort is your bed. And that's because your sleeping position could be the main culprit that is keeping you awake. What position is the best to choose? Well, the best sleeping position to use is actually on your back.  Sleeping on your stomach, and even your side, can place excess stress on your spine, and that can exacerbate the pain you are experiencing. Try switching positions, and if you can, place a pillow under your knees. Doing so will help your spine maintain a neutral position.

Stretch Before Bed

Stretching before bed is a great way to relieve some of the tightness in the muscles of your upper back. Start the night with a warm bath or hot shower, dress in some comfortable clothes, and give yourself at least 10 to 15 minutes to stretch those muscles. Ask your chiropractor during your visit at The Joint Chiropractic for some suggestions on how to stretch deeply and effectively. They will be sure to help!

How to Achieve Pain-Free Nights of Sleep

By ensuring you are sleeping in the best position, modifying your nightly routine to include stretching exercises, and seeing your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic regularly, it shouldn't be too long before you can finally get the shuteye your body is looking for! Good luck, and sweet dreams!
