Are You Having Trouble Sleeping? Did you know that MOST of the time sleep challenges can actually be a sign that your brain is stuck in overdrive?! Sleep is regulated by the brain’s ability to reach a calm state, right?! So, it makes sense to look at what might be preventing our brain from accessing that state of calmness! When our brain and body connection gets interrupted, our brain struggles to turn off the stress mode of the day and access chill mode. When this happens many people experience: • Not being able to fall asleep • Waking for no particular reason at all • Feeling like your brain is in overdrive in the middle of the night • Not feeling rested in the morning ...and, this can apply to both adults and kiddos! But the good news is there is a way to balance your nervous system so that your brain can naturally turn off stress mode and truly rest! In our office, we look for very specific areas of stress within YOUR spine and nervous system that are causing interference in your brain and body connection. Once we identify the areas that are struggling, we use gentle chiropractic adjustments to help reset your nervous system so that it can turn off the stress when it’s time to rest. If you are having trouble sleeping, we would love to see if we can help.

Grayson’s Story: One of my sons has Autism, he has never slept well at night. As his parents, we were lucky if he slept more than 5 or 6 hours. He’d spend hours awake, unable to fall asleep, finally fall asleep, then wake up again a couple hours later, repeating the cycle. It was hard on all of us. When you are not getting enough sleep, you rally start to realize it’s importance. Then we began getting adjusted regularly as a family. Sleep was not the reason we started, but almost immediately noticed an improvement with his sleep patterns. He wasn’t having trouble falling asleep, nor did he wake near as much throughout the night. Within a couple months he was sleeping 10-12 hours at night. Just a few more hours of sleep has changed his life and ours. Receiving regular adjustments has improved all my kids’ quality of sleep. They don’t toss and turn to fall asleep anymore. Plus, they all sleep longer and wake up feeling rested. We are so grateful for the rest that our family finally gets and the many blessings that Chiropractic care has given us. ~Ereka
