Sleep Loss and the Immune System

Did you know that just one night's sleep of 4 hours or less can decrease your immune system's effectiveness by approximately 30%?!!

The ability to obtain proper sleep is crucial for overall immune function. Difficulty sleeping, whether it's difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both, is an extremely common reason that new patients in Orlando seek out the care that we provide at IWC.

How can chiropractic and network spinal care improve sleep in Orlando?

Chiropractic care and network spinal works directly with the nervous system, assisting the body to get in a parasympathetic state (rest and digest). In order to have proper restorative sleep, the body has to be in a parasympathetic dominant state. Everyday stressors (physical, mental, and chemical) can lead the body to be in a sympathetic (fight or flight) dominant state.

And not just for adults! Kiddos too!

Research shows that children under chiropractic care have significant improvements in time taken to fall asleep, number of consecutive hours of sleep, and depth and quality of sleep.

How do we assess the nervous system at IWC?

We safely can identify areas of nervous system interference by using the CLA INSiGHT Scanner, which uses advanced thermography and electromyography technology. This technology provides invaluable information on how spinal stress can trigger deeper health issues. Having this information allows us to provide the best possible care for the whole family!

At IWC, we focus our care around the nervous system in a safe and effective way. If you have a family member who is struggling to sleep, we're here to help! Call or DM to schedule an appointment or ask any questions that you may have!
