How Can I Have a Better Night’s Sleep?

When you find that you are having restless nights and trouble falling into a deep, comfortable sleep it may be time to see a chiropractor. Visiting a chiropractor is usually recommended for those who find themselves unable to a have a good night’s rest because of pain or discomfort in their bodies, usually the neck and back as these areas are said to retain the most stress physically.

First off, the proper term is ‘herniated disc’. Disc herniations are normally a further development of a previously existing disc "protrusion", a condition in which the outermost layers of the annulus fibrosus are still intact, but can bulge when the disc is under pressure.

Most minor herniations heal within several weeks. Anti-inflammatory treatments for pain associated with disc herniation, protrusion, bulge, or disc tear are generally effective. Severe herniations may not heal of their own accord and may require surgical intervention.

This condition is widely referred to as a slipped disc, but this term is not medically accurate as the spinal discs are fixed in position between the vertebrae and cannot in fact, "slip". Herner Chiropractic is the place to go if you are feeling any pain or discomfort in your body and can’t seem to get the well-rested sleep like you deserve.
