π Sleep Better with Chiropractic Care: The Link Between Your Spine and Restful Nights
Getting a good nightβs sleep π΄ is one of the most important things you can do for your health β but for many people, it doesnβt come easily. Tossing and turning, waking with stiffness π€, or struggling to get comfortable can make nights frustrating and mornings painful.
What many people donβt realise is that your spine 𦴠plays a big role in the quality of your sleep.
At Align and Restore Chiropractic in Pascoe Vale, we see how improving spinal health can help patients finally get the rest theyβve been missing πΈ.
π How Your Spine Affects Sleep
When your spine is out of alignment or under stress, it can put pressure on your nervous system β‘. This often shows up as:
π£ Neck or back pain when lying down
𦡠Pins and needles in your arms or legs
π€ Difficulty finding a comfortable sleeping position
π€― Waking with headaches or stiffness
Because your nervous system controls how your body rests and repairs itself, spinal issues can directly affect sleep quality.
ποΈ Choosing the Right Sleeping Position
The way you sleep matters. Here are some tips:
π Back sleepers: Place a pillow under your knees to reduce pressure on your lower back.
π Side sleepers: Use a supportive pillow to keep your head level with your spine, and place a pillow between your knees to keep your hips balanced.
π« Stomach sleepers: This position can strain your neck and lower back β try to avoid it if possible.
