Did you know that chiropractic care may help you sleep better? A 2012 United States survey showed that over 40% of people reported that chiropractic care improved their sleep.
When it comes to what is the ideal sleep situation – it is a case of not too much and not too little.
Sleep is vital for human health as it allows the body time to heal and recharge. A lack of sleep or broken sleep has been linked to many health problems including an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, cancer, mood disorders, anxiety, and depression.
A lack of sleep creates a stress response in the body and increases the levels of cortisol in our body, which is a stress hormone that is important for immune system regulation.
