Rest

Let’s talk about rest.

When we consult with new patients, one of the common symptoms they site, is poor rest. When we begin the correction process, it is also one of the first symptoms to improve typically. There are several reasons why ones sleep patterns can be poor; however, one thing we know for sure is that a body that rests better is able to heal easier.

The REM sleep or rapid eye movement sleep level is the level where healing occurs best for the body. It typically takes two to three hours to get to this level, so if a patient is waking up throughout the night, it can hinder their ability to heal. This makes this symptom one we put at a high priority.

Typically with chiropractic adjustments the nervous system is able to move into a more peaceful state. Also, pain levels begin to decrease typically as one goes through a treatment plan. Also, Nutrilite has two products we recommend for this… valerian and hops and cal Mag D. Valerian is an herbal muscle relaxer and Cal Mag D is minerals our bodies need so that the muscles and nerves can relax.
