The Importance of Sleep

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.

Why is sleep so important?

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.

Sleep and Immune Function

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.
