What Techniques Do Chiropractors Use to Help with Sleep Problems?

If you’re struggling with sleep issues, you might not immediately think of visiting a chiropractor. However, chiropractic care can play a significant role in improving sleep quality by addressing underlying issues related to the brain and nervous system. At Thorburn Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we take a holistic, advanced approach to help patients with sleep disorders through specialized techniques like brain-based care and the use of the NeuroInfiniti™ unit.

The Brain and Nervous System’s Role in Sleep Problems

Your brain and nervous system are deeply involved in regulating your sleep-wake cycles. Stress, misalignments in the spine, and nervous system dysfunction can interfere with these cycles, leading to insomnia or restless sleep. When the nervous system is imbalanced—whether due to physical stress, emotional strain, or poor posture—it can trigger a "fight or flight" response that prevents the body from relaxing and achieving restorative sleep.
 

Brain-Based Care at Thorburn Chiropractic & Wellness Center

Thorburn Chiropractic & Wellness Center offers brain-based care, an advanced approach that focuses on improving the connection between the brain and body to promote better sleep. Through this method, we assess how your nervous system responds to stress and tailor your care accordingly.
 

One of the key tools we use in brain-based care is the NeuroInfiniti™ unit, a cutting-edge technology that allows us to measure how your brain and body react to various stressors in real-time. This diagnostic tool gives us valuable insights into your sleep issues and helps us understand what might be preventing your nervous system from functioning at its best.
 

How the NeuroInfiniti™ Unit Works

The NeuroInfiniti™ unit is designed to assess the autonomic nervous system, which controls vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, and the stress response. The unit measures various indicators, including brainwave activity, heart rate variability, skin conductance, and muscle tone, to get a complete picture of how stress impacts your body.
 

During a NeuroInfiniti™ evaluation, you’ll be exposed to mild stressors, and the unit will track your physiological responses. Based on this data, we can identify imbalances in your nervous system that may be affecting your sleep. For example, if your body is stuck in a heightened state of stress (sympathetic dominance), it could be why you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.
 

Benefits of Customizing Treatment Plans

One of the most significant advantages of using the NeuroInfiniti™ unit is that it allows us to customize your treatment plan based on your unique needs. By understanding how your nervous system responds to stress, we can tailor chiropractic adjustments, brain-based therapies, and other treatments to specifically target the underlying causes of your sleep problems.
 

At Thorburn Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we use this data-driven approach to provide personalized care that not only addresses your sleep issues but also improves your overall health and well-being. Some benefits of a customized plan include:
 

• Improved relaxation: Chiropractic adjustments, particularly those tailored to the nervous system’s needs, can reduce tension and promote relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep.
   

• Enhanced nervous system function: By addressing misalignments and stressors affecting the nervous system, we help your body return to a balanced state, allowing for better regulation of sleep cycles.
   

• Reduced stress and anxiety: Brain-based care helps lower stress and anxiety, two of the most common causes of sleep disturbances.
