In general, eight hours of sleep is considered a restful night. Despite our best efforts to go to bed early, several factors can lead to sleep troubles, including stress, body aches and pain, an uncomfortable mattress and poor eating habits.

Sleep is crucial to overall health and wellness, helping the brain and immune system to function properly. If your body does not have adequate time to recharge and prepare for tomorrow, you may experience fatigue, irritability and a general decline in health.

While some people rely on sleeping pills, this habit can become a dangerous addiction. Chiropractic care is a natural remedy to address the issues causing poor sleeping patterns.

Factors That Impact Sleep

One factor that helps determine how well we sleep is our position; certain postures place undue stress on the spine. In general, sleeping on your back is best to prevent discomfort in and out of bed. On the other hand, side sleepers may wake up with neck pain or a headache from muscles being stretched to one side during the night.

Mattress firmness also plays a role. Our muscles can tense up when laying on a hard mattress, while a soft mattress may not provide enough support. A chiropractor can assess your physical condition and help you decide what level of firmness is best.

Chiropractic for Better Sleep

During your appointment, we’ll perform gentle adjustments to release compressed nerves in the spine that could be causing sleep disruption. If you have been feeling run down from a lack of quality sleep, adjustments also stimulate a positive immune response. One step further, our doctors can offer nutritional advice to promote better sleep and overall health.

In addition to regular chiropractic appointments, some other tips for healthy sleep include regular exercise, limited caffeine and keeping your bedroom temperature cool.

Chiropractic can help people of all ages with sleep problems. Studies have proven that working with a chiropractor can even help babies sleep more soundly. Very minor, gentle adjustments can improve an infant’s spinal health and overall development. Regular visits can also help prevent other common pediatric issues, such as colic and ear infections.

"I lost my cousin (who was also a lifelong best friend) tragically back in November and happened to mention it during an adjustment, and a few days later, I received a handwritten sympathy card from Dr. Joe and the team. Things like that go a long way! I recommend CHCG without reservation."

"I have been going to the Chiropractic Health Center of Glastonbury for years. Dr. D. keeps me walking and moving so I can work and enjoy my grandchildren. The staff in the office are great. They are like a second family to me. I know I can call and they will always fit me in if I have to have an adjustment."

"I'm a very active individual and lower back pain was getting in the way of activities I love. While my back is still a work in progress, the time spent with Dr. D has been well worth it. I just ran 2 marathons in 2 weeks and these sessions helped me run these races with no back pain."

"If I could give more than five stars, I wouldn't hesitate to do so. The office staff are all very professional and accommodating. There have been several instances where I had to make a last minute change to my appointment - either a cancellation or different time - and the office responded right away to make it happen. Not only this, but my appointments are always quick, yet very efficient. The doctors take their time in addressing my questions and explaining things so that I receive the best possible care."
Zach G.
"I strained my lower back a month prior to an Ironman race. I was unable to sleep, walk or sit, never mind continue training as planned. The entire office staff is beyond kind, caring, professional and runs extremely smooth. I was explained every step and procedure, along with a patient education class that really helped me understand what was wrong with my back and steps to fix it. Dr Wade was able to get me sleeping, walking and able to compete in my triathlon. 5 stars for many reasons and would highly recommend."

"I started going to Dr. D when my orthopedic doctor recommended him for whiplash. I had always been skeptical of chiro services, but Dr. D and his associates are wonderful.

"Dr DeFrancesco is the best. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is a genuine and caring person. It is his help that has allowed me to continue to go to work every day and provide for my family. The staff is always super accommodating and pleasant to deal with. I have never received an attitude. When Dr DeFrancesco is not available, I am fortunate that he leaves me in the talented hands of Dr Wade and Dr LeFavor."

They treat you like family and put a lot of emphasis on your care.
